About this episode

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Secretary of Defense Robert Gates launched a massive media blitz across Sunday morning programs to justify the military transition in Libya to NATO control. This saturation campaign follows the freezing of tens of billions in Gaddafi regime assets and a controversial theory that the Chinese government is arming Arab Spring rebels to undermine Western oil interests. The administration faces mounting criticism for bypassing Congressional approval, with 2007 footage of then-Senator Barack Obama surfacing to highlight a complete reversal on executive war powers.

General Wesley Clark previously revealed a 2007 Pentagon memo detailing plans to topple seven countries in five years, including Libya, Syria, and Iran, suggesting the current intervention was orchestrated long before the Arab Spring began. Vice Admiral Bill Gortney continues to brief the press on "coalition" coordination while denying boots on the ground, even as constitutional scholar Bruce Fine warns that the executive branch has claimed the authority to assassinate American citizens without judicial review. Domestically, the FBI has expanded assessment powers and the city of Louisville, Kentucky, has drafted emergency plans to commandeer private property, signaling a shift toward martial law preparations.

Donald Trump aggressively questioned the President's birth certificate on The View, leading to a heated confrontation with Whoopi Goldberg. Meanwhile, Nigel Farage exposed private admissions from European Council President Herman Van Rompuy regarding illegal regime change goals. Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak also explore the mystery of severed feet on the Canadian border and the knighting of new producers Mickey Kennedy and Astrid Klein in the No Agenda community.

I can't believe this. I gotta get some clips. Like I got to get something that's happening. As i'm watching this stuff...and of course I have one clip that's relevant..I came up with a new theory

CHAPTER 02 / 41 Discussion

Arab Spring Rebels, Potential Chinese Involvement Theory

A theory is proposed suggesting the Chinese government may be arming rebels in the Arab Spring to undermine Western interests. The presence of heavy military equipment like jet fighters and anti-aircraft guns among rebel forces is contrasted with previous civilian-led protests in Egypt and Yemen. The narrative explores whether Muammar Gaddafi is being used as a "patsy" in a larger geopolitical scam to protect American interests against Chinese encroachment.

arab spring· muammar gaddafi· china· rebels· path to persia· military equipment

02:07 Because there's all this talk about, well it used to be the protesters but now it is the rebels. Right? So this is different in the whole Arab Spring plan which actually is a plan and I have some documentation to back that up known as The Path To Persia uh... we have not seen protesters or demonstrators turn to rebels i mean rebels with the jet fighters okay maybe was only one but a jet fighter tanks anti aircraft gun and then get some guys would like flags and in egypt we had some people like you know everyone has an a k forty seven in yemen yeah we know that but did not not not the heavy stuff like this what if they'll take this as a as an idea john

02:51 what if the Chinese were actually arming the rebels, honing in on our business and we call up Gaddafi because of course we know Gaddafi is our friend. He's been our friend everyone has been in the tent hanging out smoking the hookah from Tony Blair to Bill Clinton you know everybody everyone's in a tent with Gaddafi what have we said dude here's what we're gonna do We gotta get these Chinese out because they are like taking our playbook this is what WE DO not them and this whole thing is a farce, Gaddafi will not get killed he may get ousted but you know the rebels aren't going to be running the country what if this is just a complete scam to actually protect our interests and Gaddafi's being held as the patsy

03:44 That's an interesting... I'm not going to say that it is far-fetched. Right! I just don't think the Chinese have gotten that far along in the game yet, A and B We'll find out soon enough. Actually we have a clip that will validate that theory one way or another based on this guys thesis as professor at one of his war colleges Alright Should we roll that out now then? No, well yeah we could if you want. Let me see I've got the wrong thing on my screen Well while you're looking for that let me play a little bit of Clinton and Gates this morning Oh yeah Talking about uh... You know The new world order taking over our military because of course We don't need no congressional approval We don't need that And this is not just us This is the United Nations! The guys who actually own us He's going to address the nation on Monday night

CHAPTER 03 / 41 Discussion

Hillary Clinton, Military Intervention Without Congressional Approval

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton defends the humanitarian mission in Libya while facing criticism for the lack of congressional approval. A 2007 clip of then-Senator Barack Obama is used to highlight a reversal in policy regarding the president's constitutional authority to authorize military attacks unilaterally. The discussion characterizes the administration's reliance on United Nations and NATO authorization as a subversion of U.S. sovereignty.

hillary clinton· barack obama· nato· benghazi· constitution· war powers· united nations

04:37 Imagine we were sitting here. Imagine all the people... And Benghazi had been overrun, a city of 700 thousand people and tens of thousands of people had been slaughtered uh... hundreds of thousands had fled and as bob said either with nowhere to go or overwhelming uh... egypt while it's in its own difficult transition and we were sitting here the cries would be why did the united states not do anything i disagree uh... ideas that'd be like not tough tough luck for those guys a that kinda sucks now i wouldn't be crying i'd be crying over the people in the street here hillary

05:17 They're kind of making this up as they go along. And you know my favorite thing, I don't know if you saw the Hillary press conference? Yeah of course I did. It was like five seconds and she looked like she'd been beaten up! Well it wasn't more than that but i couldn't get a clip from her because it was so uninteresting... No no, there's nothing. What happened John is NATO came out they screwed her by saying yeah we'll do the no-fly zone all that other stuff as for the coalition they screwed her and that's why took her so long to get out there and say something then she said nothing Yeah, no she said nothing and it did take that's the thing I was gonna point out. It took forever They had all everybody was gonna cut to this It was about an hour of them obviously yelling and screaming in the back room it was Hillary going I can't believe that bastard he screwed me because they very clearly the NATO General what's his name?

06:11 or the guy from Denmark, he came out and said no no we'll take over the No Fly Zone but all of that other stuff is for the coalition partners. What? You mean the same people who are screwing Iraq and Afghanistan? Clearly anyway, so let's just continue as she and you're right. It's on the fly which is why I think Something happened that was off-book Why how could you stand by when? You know France and the United Kingdom and other Europeans and being the Arab League and your great lies How can you stand by way they while they do something yes this is no good we I mean They're doing something were not there hey wait a minute taking care of it

06:50 No, we can't let the French take her. We've got to do it! We're saying you've got to do something. You've got...you've got to do something? So every decision that we make is going to have pluses and minuses And she laughs I want to play in the basketball game pick me! You heard the Secretary of Defense say that Libya did not pose an actual or imminent threat to the nation Bearing in mind what you just said, I'm still wondering how the administration reconciles the attack without congressional approval with then candidate Obama saying in 2000... Now this is great because he has a clip that I didn't even have. ...in 2007 the president does not have power under the Constitution to unilaterally authorize a military attack on a situation that does not involve stopping an actual or imminent threat to the nation and as a senator... Curveball! Curveball! You yourself in 2007 said this about President Bush

07:44 If the administration believes that any, any use of force against Iran is necessary. The president must come to Congress to seek that authority. Yeah! How are we going to answer that? John what are we gonna do think quick? Why not go to congress well we would welcome congressional support Hey, come on have some tea give us some support We would welcome it would be great. It's like unbelievable how she turns this is arrest her She's but she's against the Constitution Arrest her But I don't think that this kind of internationally authorized off Internationally authorized John yeah, I mean am i hearing this incorrectly or are we now the bitch of the United Nations?

CHAPTER 04 / 41 Discussion

Satanic Influence Rule of Thumb, Stealing and Destroying

A religious preacher outlines a "rule of thumb" based on John 10:10 to identify the influence of Satan in world events. The criteria for satanic work are defined as stealing, killing, and destroying, whether through direct action or through unwitting human agents. This theological framework is applied as a critique of current military and political actions.

satan· jesus· john 10:10· beelzebub· morality· religious preacher

08:40 Sounds like it to me. Yeah, it's authorized off with your head Hillary right off with your head off with your head I said Intervention where we are one of a number of countries participating to enforce a Humanitarian mission this is what I love a humanitarian mission So here's how it works to save people from getting killed let's go kill some people and they explain it to me I'll explain it to you. Play the Satan... I was going and floating around the tube, and I got this preacher. And play the Satan quiz. It's just a little thing people...I think all of the religious people out there, and Christians in particular, and George Bushites and Evangelicals should just take one listen to this and then think about what we're up too. Now somebody says well everything that is going on in the world certainly not under the influence of Satan. You might be surprised how much he is!

09:37 You should use a rule of thumb to understand what is and what is not. Jesus said in John 10, the thief cometh not but for to steal and kill and destroy I would suggest that if it's stealing killing destroying its certainly coming from God It's either caused by man that Satan is working through and he might be working through somebody that they don't even know he's working through them. Beelzebub? Wait, hold on a second! Didn't somebody just grab the largest cash of money or stole the largest...

CHAPTER 05 / 41 Discussion

Obama Presidential Address, Libya Strategy and Asset Seizure

President Barack Obama addresses the nation regarding the limited role of American forces in Libya and the transfer of responsibility to NATO allies. The administration reports the freezing of tens of billions of dollars in Gaddafi regime assets, intended for the future needs of the Libyan people. Analysis of the speech suggests the "larger strategy" involves securing oil interests and infrastructure under the guise of humanitarian aid.

barack obama· libya· muammar gaddafi· asset seizure· humanitarian assistance· nato· west wing week

10:13 Well, you know it's funny like blowing stuff up. Are we? Steel destroy and kill I think with the three It's funny you say that because of course You know what? I always do on on the weekends I always go to Whitehouse gov and I see if the president has signed any new crazy law which he hasn't I Always watch his reality show The West Wing Week by the way that voiceover the guys now on camera it is the deputy press secretary uh... who does that voice over and he's on camera with the same voices amazing sucks yeah totally sucks but then there is the presidential address and what's interesting here remember this is all teleprompter um... is how the president reads his lines

10:56 it's in really he's really giving away the true meaning by what's happening and of course this is I'll tell you how i read it but this is about money in a obviously oil but mother money to very important have a listen so make no mistake make no mistake shut up do as your told make no mistake john are you making a mistake Because we acted quickly, a humanitarian catastrophe has been avoided and the lives of countless civilians innocent men women and children have been saved. When I hear him say that i want to say created or saved Saved or created? Does it sound like that? Hey in Libya we have saved our created millions of lives It sounds... Now listen to what's next

11:41 As I pledged at the outset, the role of American forces has been limited. We're not putting any ground forces into Libya. No boots on the ground! Our military has provided unique capabilities... Unique? Unique capabilities. They say that, by the way that is a buzz phrase it's a meme they say it over and over again Hillary said in one of her things we bring she did in her speech we bring unique capabilities yeah like this is mainly stealing their money and then killing people with surgical precision at the beginning but this is now a broad international effort our allies and partners are enforcing the no-fly zone over Libya, and the arms embargo at sea. Key Arab partners like Qatar and the United Arab Emirates have committed aircraft And as agreed this week responsibility for this operation is being transferred from the United States to our NATO allies and partners Now listen to this next line This is how the international community should work

12:40 more nations, not just the United States bearing the responsibility and cost of upholding peace and security. This military effort is part of our larger strategy." Now listen to this again...this is part of our larger strategy but then he actually adds something to that line which doesn't sound like it was-it sounds like two separate things so he says part of our larger strategy and then he puts something else in. This military effort is part of our larger strategy to support the Libyan people. To support the Libyan people? It doesn't sound like that! is part of our largest cut and yes i think that's the best part of our larger strategy has to progress in the air support living people and hold the qaddafi regime accountable together with international community we're delivering urgent humanitarian assistance were offering support to libyan opposition sport we frozen tens of billions of dollars about the doffy s assets they can help meet the needs aspirations of the libyan people so i think what's gonna happen here

CHAPTER 06 / 41 Discussion

George W. Bush, Muammar Gaddafi and Terrorism History

A retrospective look at the Bush administration's efforts to bring Libya back into the international community after Muammar Gaddafi renounced terrorism. Concerns are raised that Gaddafi might activate international sleeper cells or mercenary connections in West Africa as a response to current military pressure. The segment questions whether the current intervention will trigger a new wave of kinetic violence across Africa and the Middle East.

george w. bush· muammar gaddafi· lockerbie· terrorism· polisario front· sleeper cells

13:41 So we stole all that money and then when everything's all settled, then we're going to use that money to go build some cool stuff. Hotels? Yeah hotels for the oil workers! it's uh... is unbelievable and let's go back to your thesis as i do have a couple of the chinese yeah okay again on another completely buying and two clips now they think about it that uh... might kind of imply other other um... basis for this whole thing but play the unintended consequences and uh... this kinda if this scenario that this professor outlines happens then

14:28 Or if it doesn't happen, then your theory might be correct because it should happen. So play this. Libya should carry out the commitments... Oh wait stop! It starts off with a George Bush clip indicating that we had gotten into bed with Qaddafi some time ago and there's no reason for us not to still be there. Libya should carry out the commitments announced today. Libya should also fully engage in the war against terror. Terror! Its government in response to United Nations Security Council's Lockerbie demands has already renounced all acts of terrorism and pledged cooperation in the international fight against terrorism. We expect Libya to meet these commitments as well." As the Libyan government takes these essential steps, and demonstrates its seriousness, its good faith will be returned. Libya can regain a secure and respected place among the nations – and over time achieve far better relations

15:28 with the United States. Paul Solomon? Well, clearly there was quid pro quo expected there. Muhammad Gaddafi and the Libyans giving up terrorism or renouncing supporting terrorism taking a look at that right now I think the situation has changed i would not be surprised if Muhammad Gaddafi made some of his sleeper cells that may exist in parts of the world kinetic and he could bring violence to many parts of the world if he indeed has that capability in doing this. He's shown it in the past, the man is 69 years old, he's been involved with just about every nefarious group in his past, he has connections all over the place that where a lot of mercenaries have come from, he has connections with the Polisario front, he has connection throughout West Africa

16:24 uh... this is a very bad character and uh... this may be uh... stirring up the hornets nest we're talking about the history so i'm not quite sure how that ties into my idea well here's the deal if what you're saying is a scheme between us in qaddafi then none of this will happen we won't have a bunch of terror attacks left and right in africa all over the place because Qaddafi controlling all these cuz he still apparently still in the network yeah, all he has to do it just say nothing happens then I'm right. Then you're right! If something starts to happen like anything, like some... Stuff starts to blow up. ...stuff starts the blow-up then you're wrong So how about the bombing in Israel? Could that be Qaddafi's doing? I don't know we'll gonna see it do i think this will unfold within the next couple of weeks now the reason I think that your wrong is there's a kind of a tip tell me if you can spot

CHAPTER 07 / 41 Discussion

Vice Admiral Gortney, Pentagon Briefing on Rebel Communication

Vice Admiral Bill Gortney provides a Pentagon briefing regarding the level of communication between U.S. forces and Libyan opposition forces. Gortney repeatedly uses the word "coalition" when referring to the rebels, leading to speculation that "boots on the ground" are already coordinating with the opposition. The official stance remains that no mil-to-mil communication is occurring.

bill gortney· pentagon· rebels· libya· military communication· coalition forces

17:20 spot the tell in the coalition clip, coalition MP3 clip where we have here let me get his name this is a Vice Admiral Gortney giving a Pentagon briefing about whether or not were communicating with the opposition on the ground he says no which by the way surprises me if true because how do we know who to bomb? because we're it but i think well this is why you're just a little my theory i think he's kind of explained uh... e by the freudian slips even gas is question for days now about communications official or otherwise with rebel forces on the ground between the u s and reports that you

18:07 uh... answering english about in a close was that chinese at the level is right now that communication we're not communicating with the coalition on the ground at the end of the mill We're not communicating with the opposition forces on the ground, mil-to-mil communications with the opposition forces on the ground. We see the same reporting in diplomatic channels but when it comes to the coalition... I mean the opposition military forces and our military forces we are not communicating. What? He says coalition! He says coalition twice he can't get it out of his mind

CHAPTER 08 / 41 Discussion

Wesley Clark 2007 Interview, Seven Countries in Five Years

A 2007 interview with General Wesley Clark reveals a Pentagon memo from shortly after September 11, 2001, detailing plans to "take out" seven countries in five years. The list included Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and Iran. This plan, linked to the "Path to Persia" strategy from the Brookings Institution, suggests the current intervention in Libya was planned years in advance regardless of the Arab Spring.

wesley clark· pentagon· donald rumsfeld· iraq· syria· libya· path to persia

18:47 He says we're not communicating with the coalition forces on the ground and he keeps talking. Oh, wait a minute I made a mistake. So that means I misspoke Yeah right so in other words their boots on the ground already yeah Wow Okay, so I do have a clip that actually goes against my theory again This is just a theory they just kind of hit me so it's not built out yet And I haven't really been able to do the research But this one blew me away This is before we were doing the show actually John this clip from 2007 General Wesley Clark now. We all know who he is right right the alien general of the big bug eyes well Yeah, he was the he was general four-star general in after 9-11 and He's on democracy now in 2007 and when I heard this

19:38 It just blew me away and of course it contradicts the whole China theory, but it doesn't matter. It's crazy to hear this in hindsight of 9-11 about ten days after 9 11 I went through the Pentagon and I saw secretary Rumsfeld and Deputy Secretary Wolfowitz I went downstairs Just say hello some of the people on the joint staff who used used to work for me And one of the generals called me, and he said sir you got a Come in, you gotta come in and talk to me a second. I said well you're too busy he said no no but he says we've made the decision were going to war with Iraq this was on or about the 20th of September? I said were going to war with Iraq why? He said...I don't know! Stupid slaves! He said I guess they don't know what else to do

20:28 So I said well did they find some information collecting Saddam to al-Qaeda? He said no, no. There's nothing new that way they just made the decision to go to war with Iraq he said I guess it's like we don't know what to do about terrorists but We've got a good military and we can take down governments And um...he said if the only tool you have is a hammer every problem has to look like a nail so i came back to see him a few weeks later And by that time we were bombing in Afghanistan. I said, are we still going to war with Iraq? He said oh it's worse than that! He reached over on his desk and picked up a piece of paper and he said... ...I just got this down from upstairs meeting the Secretary of Defense office today This is a memo that describes how we're gonna take out seven countries in five years Starting with Iraq then Syria Lebanon Libya Somalia Sudan and finishing off Iran Had there been no oil there

21:27 it would be like Africa. Nobody is threatening to intervene in Africa, the problem is the opposite we keep asking for people to intervene and stop it so that kind of blew me away That's a good clip! It blew me away that uh... and I've course we weren't doing this show so we had no reason ever have it but this surface I'm like wow really? on the twentieth of September? Like ehhh Like nine days after this is before they even started hyping the whole WMD bullcrap, right? They'd already just and this guy's just saying it. Yeah, there's one of yeah apparently he's one of his buddies and he's Freaked out about it I guess so this whole thing as part of something called The Path to Persia which was set up by the by the Brookings Institute

22:22 And that's where this figure yeah, that's where the seven and I put the documents in the show notes no agenda show comms you can check it out. There's a big at PowerPoint and The whole idea was Powerpoints overhead sheets they get handouts everything and as you play that satan clip again yeah now really now will keep will play at the end of the show no i think i got a i gotta thing for them to show how i'm gonna do a mashup with that satan clip later we'll do it uh... enough future show so let's thank a couple people because they are our part listeners are our producers in their the ones that help us uh... but fund the show and give us time to do this which is a lot of work i can tell ya it says been at

Donald Trump on The View, Obama Birth Certificate Controversy

Donald Trump appears on "The View" to promote "The Apprentice" and aggressively questions President Barack Obama's citizenship and academic records. The interview devolves into a heated exchange with Whoopi Goldberg and Joy Behar, with Goldberg accusing Trump of using the "race card." Trump insists that the lack of a public long-form birth certificate creates a "pall" over the presidency.

donald trump· the view· whoopi goldberg· barack obama· birth certificate· birtherism· joy behar

35:08 You should use a rule of thumb to understand what is and what is not. Jesus said in John 10, the thief cometh not but for to steal and kill and destroy. I would suggest that if it's stealing killing destroying its certainly coming from God. It's either caused by man that Satan is working through and he might be working through somebody that they don't even know he's working through. Yeah, Hillary Clinton, Beals above herself Lucifer! Lucifer Clinton there you go finally I just said when i heard that I said you know it's a clip yeah its lucifer clinton so anyway um... so Donald Trump is getting interesting

35:53 Did you see? He was on Letterman last night. Oh really? A couple nights ago Well he's on The View which I find much more interesting Oh yeah, I saw him on that too So your not interested anymore No no go on, I want to hear your take on it because its getting a little... It is kind of interesting but its he when he was on letterman he did the day went to his you know let him in likes a ride him and so there's this whole thing at the very end is that like you'd like it after thought but they were wrapping the segment letters all are your any freight i want us what your idea for and running you know he's gonna say talk about running for president but their rapping right yeah and then let me give passes handoff answers odds bull crap you never under for anything anyway uh... really

36:37 What was the interview about that if it wasn't about him running for president? It was just about this what current events The apprentices on again, isn't it yeah. Yeah, I mean this is we know it's all promotion Yeah right the guys are promotion. He's a genius yeah, so we know it's all promotion That's great But he did take this This Obama birth certificate to a new level on The View Which I just found interesting. Of all the things you can do to promote your TV show, this is an interesting one to bring up. Whoopi got all the attention. Yeah! That's right. Whoopi plays the race card on this one. You recently said about President Obama... Hey Joy Behar

37:19 The quote you he grew up and nobody knew him. Nobody knows who he is until later in his life The whole thing is very strange what are you driving at there? Are you a birth? Oh, let me just say that I was a really good student at the best school I'm not like a smart guy Okay They make these birthers into the worst idiots why doesn't he show his birth certificate? I think he's probably because I have to when everybody else has two would be Excuse me no excuse me What is a pearl?

37:59 It's a terrible pail hanging over his head. A paul is what he, you know... But it says like a pale like uh yeah he was thinking he was visualizing the word and came up with pale Yeah like a pale of water when you open the door and the pale falls on your head Excuse me why no excuse me I really believe there's a birth certificate Why look she's smiling why doesn't he show his birth certificate? And you know what i wish he would because i think it's a terrible pail that's hanging over him He's a really smart guy, went to one of the top schools. A pale? It's a pale! It's a pale of slime! He cracks me up with all this bragging. Show his birth certificate... The other thing if you go back to my first grade in kindergarten people remember me nobody from those early years remembers me.

38:45 we have pictures of them. They don't show pictures, this was good it was very crackpotty. But more importantly, why doesn't he... and you know what? I think he probably was but the word probably whoopie- Why did we have to defend himself against an accuser? Shut up Barbara. He's a president of the United States! Of course he is an American citizen! And somewhere in the middle Whoopi pulls out the race card. You're going to be President of The United States it says very profoundly that you have to be born in this country.

39:24 Let me just get to the whoopie thing. Let me fast forward this crap It was a big part I have seen fraud and I have seen scandal Yeah, uh yeah no really? Really Trumpy! And i've seen things that a lot of people don't see I've seen people take $100 bill and make it a million dollar bill Hey hey can I win a million dollar bills there? Hey Trumpy Pause get to the point Okay Get to the point I can't rely on some newspaper that they show that... In order to become president of the United States, in order to... I want him to show his birth certificate. There it comes! ...birth certificate that he doesn't like. Oh my God! Donald Trump is just a whoopee! I'm telling you! He was 3 pounds and 8 inches! Donald, I love you too. I think that's the biggest pile of dog mess I've heard in ages

40:17 It's cuz he's black All right off with their heads did you get did you get was that amusing to you it was very amusing to me I thought it was pretty funny. Sounds like a hen house, you know when you do the interview show or talk shows and then you get especially when you have too many people Yeah it sucks because you can't hear anything except for the person who yells loudest. When I used to be doing Silicon Spin we'd have four people in there rarely but once in awhile they would be four lively people yeah and they all start yacking at once and meanwhile of course the producers got an IFB and my are yelling at me

Seven-Year Body Cycles, Crown Books Business Failure

A discussion on the theory that human body chemistry and brain waves change in seven-year cycles. This biological aside leads to an anecdote about the founder of Crown Books, who reportedly took back control of his company at age 70 and ran it into the ground while pursuing a lifestyle change.

body chemistry· seven-year cycle· crown books· aging· biology

41:05 You know, make them stop! Shut up! Make them talk at a time. I mean look at how we sound sometimes and were just two guys Yeah no you gotta...I've seen shows where there's three guys and they're all talking at once. I mean on Fox it happens all the time And uh but this is how many people? There's five six people on set? It's five women and each other Five women in the guest yeah It's terrible What happened to her body She's some I don't know she's been eating way too much many potatoes. Oh, I don't know what it is But she got a moomoo on to hide it all just like whoo I Don't know something kicked in either one of those seven-year cycles you have thought the human body changes its chemistry every 70s really oh Is this in your book?

41:51 No, it's just a fact. I mean that's why you know your brain waves start to change when you're 14 years old You can drink when you're 21 It's a seven-year cycle and then you start getting fat at some point and there is always multiple of 7. Every seven years your body chemistry changes And then what happens? Then you die! Oh what a bummer! Then you die. So seven times, uh...what? Ten? You get like ten cycles maybe eleven? The 70 year one is really interesting if you haven't noticed that one at seventy but lot of these guys especially we know onetime moguls they go back into kind of the revert back into this right and they start banging hot chicks again yeah I can wait for that cycle. Remember Crown Books there was that guy who took over the place's son

42:36 Of course the company's out of business now, The Sun was running it just killing. Crown Books was a huge operation and then the old man who he inherited from turned 70 took the company back over ran around with a buncha hot blondes and ran the company into the ground! Right... So we gotta watch out for that then I'm looking forward to it Speaking of which We'd really like to do the Hot Pockets tour. You know, it kind of went away with the whole discussion

Obama Campaign Promises, Guantanamo and Troop Withdrawal

A montage of 2007 and 2008 campaign clips features Barack Obama promising to end the war in Iraq, close Guantanamo Bay, and end illegal wiretapping. The hosts contrast these promises with current administration policies, including the continuation of military interventions and the failure to close the detention facility at Guantanamo.

barack obama· guantanamo bay· habeas corpus· iraq war· torture· campaign promises

47:16 It is the first thing I will do. I will get our troops home, we will bring an end to this war." You can take that to the bank! When I promise that we are going to bring this war in Iraq to a close in 2009... ...I want the American people to understand that I opposed this war in 2002, 2003, 2004 and 2005. Iran, they spend one hundredth of what we spend on the military. Iran, Cuba, Venezuela these countries are tiny compared to the Soviet Union

47:59 They don't pose a serious threat to us. I think it's time for us to end the embargo on Cuba and i think that we have to act because if you think about what is happening internationally our planet is shrinking and our biggest foreign policy challenge, and feeds into the dreaded battle of terrorism and feeds into issues of trade economy is how do we make sure other countries in developing nations are providing sustenance for their people, human rights for their people a basic structure of government that is stable and secure so they can be partners.

48:38 in a brighter future for the entire planet. Close down Guantanamo, restore habeas corpus say no to renditions, no to wireless wiretaps I have said repeatedly that i intend to close guantanamo and will follow through on that uh... I've said repeatedly that america doesn't torture and im gonna make sure we don't torture those are part-and-parcel of an effort to regain america's moral stature ladies and gentlemen douchebag of the year there you go, douche bag of the year good work yes thank you i slaved over it so uh... well then we can play a little bit since were going to go in this direction

CHAPTER 15 / 41 Discussion

Bruce Fine, American Empire and Executive Usurpation

Constitutional scholar Bruce Fine discusses his book "American Empire: Before the Fall" at a Virginia book fair. Fine argues that the United States has transitioned from a Republic to an Empire, where the President exercises unilateral power while Congress abdicates its responsibility. He highlights a specific instance where Congress requested the executive branch draft its own war resolutions to avoid political accountability.

bruce fine· american empire· constitutional law· impeachment· richard nixon· john yoo· congress

49:38 Let's see we've got uh... Oh by the way, well let's start off with hypothetical. No intro needed? Yeah, let me talk to say who this. This is a guy Bruce fine who is a former assistant Attorney I guess an attorney general's depart the Justice Department Guy from the Bush administration He's a book writer now and he wrote that America title isn't it Justice Department guy? Just department guys American Empire before the fall I wrote this book And yeah, you have four clips in the end of show clip which is just unbelievable I mean these scripts are little long

50:16 but I couldn't cut him any shorter because they're condensed and just amazing. So this is a book we should read, this is one for the Book Club? Yes the book should be on the Book Club American Empire before the fall Alright and this his hypothetical clip You should be riveted in your passion to try to rectify our plunge from Republic to empire by thinking of the following hypothetical Suppose tomorrow President Barack Obama commands prime time television he says Secret intelligence alerts me that this is actually interesting because tomorrow he is commanding primetime television could happen it could happen right Osama bin Laden now has a weapon of mass destruction We confront the greatest danger even in greater danger than World War two with a Luftwaffe and the zero airplanes I'm suspending the Congress of the United States for your safety. Oh

51:09 I'm suspending civilian law and replacing it with military law because that's the only way I can make you safe. I am doing this very reluctantly, but this is the only way we'll be able to preserve the country." And with that announcement he says tomorrow, no, I will start issuing edicts rather than legislation because we can no longer afford with this terrifying danger abroad. It is more than a 1% formula of Dick Cheney. to accept the customary way which we've governed the country. If that happened, how many here think the American people in Congress say, We're impeaching President Obama tomorrow? That's simply not acceptable. We will not give up our freedom for this pledge of safety and magnifying the danger. Would rather be free and accept risk than be vassals and be absolutely safe.

52:06 I think you all would agree nothing would happen. People would regret, there'd be some offense. Well why don't you save it for the question? My view is that the Congress would not respond in a way that ultimately people in the Congress did with regard to President Nixon's abuses. I'm in Washington every day I was horrified to learn in January, in a debate with John Yoo that when the war resolutions for Afghanistan and Iraq were at issue Congress insisted the executive branch had to draft the language. And when the bills were shopped in Congress, the members were angry that they were being forced to vote. They said you need to go to war on yourself. Don't give us any responsibility in the matter.

52:56 This is where we are as a country in my judgment. Remember Tacitus wrote, as the Roman Republic descended to the Roman Empire, the worst crimes were dared by few, willed by more, tolerated by all. Well, it's a fractal. Obviously. It's a total fractal and the fact of the matter is that little point that he made there when Congress was presented with... because Bush did go to Congress for both Afghanistan and Iraq even though it was bogus rationales Yeah, yeah and he got approval from Congress And he got approval but apparently Congress says could you just do this without us having to cast a vote? Because we don't want to be responsible You guys don't wanna have their name on anything Right

53:36 They're a bunch of weenies. So I thought, oh God if i say yes then the war mongers and you know the satanists are going to be mad at me they're not going to vote for me and if I say no then all the eagles...the hawks are gonna...it's just that you can't win so they said no just go do it yourself so there probably really pleased that Obama for just doing it without consulting them even though Kucinich was the only guy complaining about it. Well there's a couple more Lugar is saying he's not saying impeach of course Ron Paul ran Paul so there are few out there but you're not going to see him on the news, well yeah you're not gonna see him on the news but this this is interesting what this guy brings up for couple reasons one we have this newly created board of governors

54:19 I remember this John and all the governors had to come together. They've got this secret little handshake decoder ring thing going on This is about potential martial law in the United States and all the governors have all these extra powers that have now been written by Executive order in Louisville, Kentucky Louisville, they now have an emergency response plan. So I don't think it's been approved yet but it would give the city the power to quote commandeer private property seize buildings in a crisis to uh... the city's elected leaders and i think that in your that this does whole libya thing is coincidentally a nice little dry run if the american public stupid enough to take this type of unconstitutional behavior and clearly we are which is like a it was a

CHAPTER 16 / 41 Discussion

Martial Law Preparations, Expanded FBI Assessment Powers

Reports indicate that Louisville, Kentucky, has developed an emergency response plan allowing the city to commandeer private property. Simultaneously, the FBI has expanded powers to conduct "assessments" without warrants, and a Second Circuit appeals court ruling suggests domestic terror suspects can be held without Miranda warnings. The discussion links these developments to the influence of Cass Sunstein and legal shifts toward increased domestic surveillance.

53:36 They're a bunch of weenies. So I thought, oh God if i say yes then the war mongers and you know the satanists are going to be mad at me they're not going to vote for me and if I say no then all the eagles...the hawks are gonna...it's just that you can't win so they said no just go do it yourself so there probably really pleased that Obama for just doing it without consulting them even though Kucinich was the only guy complaining about it. Well there's a couple more Lugar is saying he's not saying impeach of course Ron Paul ran Paul so there are few out there but you're not going to see him on the news, well yeah you're not gonna see him on the news but this this is interesting what this guy brings up for couple reasons one we have this newly created board of governors

54:19 I remember this John and all the governors had to come together. They've got this secret little handshake decoder ring thing going on This is about potential martial law in the United States and all the governors have all these extra powers that have now been written by Executive order in Louisville, Kentucky Louisville, they now have an emergency response plan.

55:12 There was a report somewhere, I don't have it in the show notes but somewhere I read that people were overwhelmed. They couldn't track Libya anymore because just too much! It's too much going on which of course is true you know you have to be like crazy like us and have support to not do anything else but track this stuff. Because first is Egypt, Tunisia, Egypt and now Libya... I can't track it. Japan? I don't know what to do. I can follow the news The answer of course is just have to watch the watch listen to this show and check out our show notes and everything else the US Court There's two things that happen so the FBI now has expanded powers for assessments And the which court was it? Was it like the 9th district something before the Supreme Court, which I think as the ninth district they basically said

56:05 Alright, rules are investigators can hold domestic terror suspects as long as they want without giving them a Miranda warning. This is new no Miranda warning necessary so we just pick you up if based on an assessment, an assessment does not need a warrant and assessment is uh... if you know if we suspect your something essentially they can wiretap you and it even says here infiltrate groups isn't this what Cass Sunberger was talking about? yeah. Sunstein? What do you mean? Sunstein of course and his wife the power woman right

56:42 So they're all together in this. And I think that it's a second circle appeals court, i'm sorry. So now journalists are being wiretapped and its legal according to the second circuit appeals court? You never know what those journalists might be up too. They don't seem to complain about any of this they're all on board Well there was a lawsuit about it obviously so... Yeah theres always one or two people making a fuss. Yeah pesky little buggers! Stop that So I think it was producer Pete... Well if you want to go along this line for a little longer, the same guy Bruce Fine does a great rant and i have a clip of that too. This was done during a book fair in Virginia that took place in the middle of the month and uh... Damn! I missed it

CHAPTER 17 / 41 Discussion

Presidential Assassination Authority, Perpetual War on Tactics

Bruce Fine rants about the executive branch's claimed authority to place American citizens on assassination hit lists without judicial review. He characterizes the "War on Terror" as a perpetual war against a tactic rather than a specific entity, effectively turning the entire planet into a battlefield. Fine also criticizes the Obama administration's refusal to prosecute prior officials for waterboarding and FISA violations.

bruce fine· assassination· due process· war on terror· waterboarding· fisa

57:34 It was on C-SPAN. And I listened to this particular segment which is two and a half hours, not this clip. My God! You sat through two and half hours of video of the book fair? Yeah. Hold on... You're welcome, thank you very much. I'll be here all the week. Apparently! But the thing is as I got this like this rant and we have an end of show clip too from the same guy was worth the price of admission This particular rant in is worth the price of admission And if we can think where we are since 9-11 just enumerate the particular presidential usurpations that have occurred open and notorious without any serious

58:17 Repudiation he sounds kind of mousy looking is he mousey looking I think it's the mic the micing of the thing was a cheap production It's all over modulated to or is that your oh, yeah? He goes. He leans into the mic and I don't know who's doing this sound he's trying to reach our friends in The Middle East because that's their sound yeah That in Mexican radio They love that sound maybe we should do more of that will get more listeners if we over modulate Listen the way you produce to show and I think we hit that yeah, we get pretty close. I agree by Congress of the American people Let's start with the one that's the most dramatic The president has announced he has authority unilaterally place American citizens on assassination Hitlers if it thinks in his judgment They're an imminent danger to the United States He wrote a but he's making money with a book We've talked about this every week. I know we need to do a book This is nothing new

59:15 And that kind of authority is beyond judicial rule. It would be a state secret to try and have the judiciary probe into whether or not that was bona fide decision or whether it violated due process. We have also a situation where we have perpetual war, and its consequences are unimaginable. It's groovy. The authorization to use military force was the first time in history that we declared war against a tactic which can never be eliminated, so that meant by definition the war is perpetual. There has been no one in Washington DC who has even conceived of a formula for determining the war is over. The second element that was revolutionary about this is because a tactic can be used anywhere and

59:57 It meant the entire globe, the entire planet is a battlefield where the president is authorized to use military force or impose military law. Including in this very room here And that insofar as we have any liberty at all, it's at the president's indulgence. He has decided he doesn't want to assert that kind of military projection as he wishes. We have open and notorious concessions by former President and Vice-President. They authorized waterboarding – the definition of torture as we used in prosecuting Japanese soldiers in World War II. What happens? The President of the United States says I just want to look forward.

1:00:38 Not backward. Well, Mr President you attended Harvard Law School like I did all criminal law is looking backward because we don't prosecute things that haven't happened yet. It's called ex post facto laws. I mean it was an utter fatuous argument. It was politically inconvenient. Well, there's a pardon power if you think that it'd be politically disruptive or convulsive to go forward with the criminal prosecution. President Ford thought that was true with Richard Nixon after he was ousted from office but at least he had the courage to pardon the president. He didn't say well covers up obstruction of justice who cares? Politically inconvenient we'll blink our eyes at. Ordinarily we find that's what the problem with foreign countries that were trying to rectify including Afghanistan

1:01:25 And the response has been very weak. We had a president who flouted the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act for almost six years intercepting the emails and phone calls of American citizens on American soils without any warrant whatsoever, a criminal violation. Blinked it. Yeah, we don't want to prosecute it Congress doesn't ask for the successor president doesn't ask for yeah You know as long as you have national security claim no the law doesn't matter I'm glad this guy's around because when I might take an out when they activate miss Mickey and she hands me The poison oyster he can sit in my chair

CHAPTER 18 / 41 Discussion

Libya Oil Interests, Balkanization and Pipelines

The intervention in Libya is compared to the conflict in the former Yugoslavia, suggesting both were driven by the need to secure energy pipelines. The hosts argue that the "humanitarian crisis" narrative is a cover for preventing Chinese or Russian control over Libyan oil. They assert that the seizure of Libyan assets is one of the largest thefts of national wealth in history.

libya· oil· pipeline· bosnia· yugoslavia· bill clinton· energy security

1:02:02 And he can over modulate so it's perfect just like you Guys, perfect isn't this? War against the tactic Classic well I never actually was always wondering how to put that out of the words that well. I think it's the war We should just change at the war against the squirrel squirrel The war on squirrels Wow, yeah. War against a tactic is perpetual. It's war on terror! They could never actually bring the military to bear on the war on drugs which is also perpetual and also a great money maker

1:02:40 Oh yeah, great money maker. But the whole thing there's also a fractal here of Bosnia-Herzegovina Yugoslavia because if you really look back at it now they had an advantage because of course this was about a pipeline that had to run through the country am I correct? Yeah okay well well there was also... That's where it boils down to! Yeah I mean that people didn't like each other and I mean that was already there religious strife going on so it was an easy one but the same thing Clinton, Beals above Clinton, Lucifer Clinton except it was Billy Boy who is probably just you know noodling cigars and then Hillary made the call did the exact same thing

1:03:21 like no fly zone, you know kill everybody for humanitarian reasons and then here comes the pipeline. Now we know there's a pipeline that has to go through Libya and it can't be the Chinese it can't be the Russians it has to be ours Misunderstands what we're saying here on the show. I think we've made it clear time and time again It's all about oil and everyone you know There's all kinds of groovy perks along the way like taking Libya's money Yeah, they say it's Gaddafi's money And he's like taking his money the largest seizure in our nation's history of assets as per our president

CHAPTER 19 / 41 Discussion

London Budget Protests, Fuel Tax Tokenism

Half a million people took to the streets in London to protest government austerity measures and cuts to public services. Chancellor George Osborne's budget included a "one penny" reduction in fuel tax, which critics dismissed as a meaningless gesture while oil companies faced higher taxes likely to be passed to consumers. The unrest is linked to similar economic revolts in Greece and Portugal.

london· austerity· george osborne· fuel tax· protests· united kingdom

1:04:00 There's all kinds of groovy things along the way. Oh, and we can ship heroin to people! That's another little groovy thing we can do And then we can take up land and buy islands in Greece It's all groovy except for us Except for the slaves Did you see what happened in London yesterday? No... What? Half a million people protesting burning crap breaking windows This wasn't very well covered Duh Yeah, half a million people took to the streets. Now of course it's the wrong people for the wrong reasons which is unfortunate because at the end of the day the only way we're going to change anything is the young people who should be up in arms like

1:04:45 Well, my generation was too busy doing blow in the 80s and 90s. But your generation John certainly was out there protesting but we did our part and we're probably when we all start going into retirement homes are gonna do our part again because it's gonna be a mess yeah well you're gonna be out on the street what home are you talking about? No retirement home! We'll throw walkers, zimmer frames So what happened in the United Kingdom is they come out with a budget and of course it's just like Greece, it's just like Portugal. In Portugal of course the Prime Minister said screw this I'm not gonna be any part that you know and everyone's revolting yeah he's like I'm getting out. I got an island in Greece I gotta go tidy up so the austerity measures came in which means no service for you slaves literally no service for you

1:05:36 uh... so they're cutting all kinds of public services so who takes the streets the people who are getting cut now instead of revolting yeah after they finally realized i mean a joke in this is that is the joke of it is that day you know for one thing they would do the thing they cut they always like to cut things that apply to the slaves as opposed to cutting middle management and these top budgets, and the bottomless pit of the defense department spending. So, you know they don't do that. They take it from... and of course the people in the United Kingdom is generally kind of a socialist system and a lot of people rely on it And now thats..you know the visits to the doctors are going to get yanked away All kinds of stuff was taking place so instead of I'm sure some other people were like hey we want more service But most these people were the ones who are getting cut Who will? It's an expensive country to live in! I know because I lived there

1:06:36 And then the funniest thing, and actually I think Mr. Oil sent me a clip about this is huge Cameron made a huge gesture Oh you know to offset some of the costs and the cuts we're going to take a penny off of the price of petrol A penny! One penny they don't even make pennies anymore We're taking a penny off. A whole penny! But it's funnier because they're actually not reducing it, they are raising the price. Listen to this report First though if you filled up the car or your van this morning Your Van? You can flush It was the government big gesture in yesterday's budget to help people save a bit of money 1p off the price of a litre fuel another planned fuel increase is ditched or delayed

1:07:30 But as soon as we gave you the news last night, the text started coming in to 81199 basically saying big deal and now the Chancellor's having to deny claims that his budget means prices will shoot back up in just a few weeks. Newsbeats Greg Dawson has been looking into this George Osborne's plan to help people at the pumps is simple tax the oil companies more and use the extra cash to allow drivers to pay less Are you kidding me? So they're gonna tax the oil companies, of course at least 50% of that will be passed right on to the consumer! Yeah who are they kidding? Well just listen... We're taking a penny off. Let people argue about the stupid penny That's how it works. Argue about the dumb penny and then meanwhile hey it just got more expensive Oh well let's have a beer yeah It's sad. It's just sad I posted a link

Smedley Butler, War is a Racket and the Business Plot

The legacy of General Smedley Butler is discussed, specifically his book "War is a Racket" and his role in exposing the 1930s "Business Plot." Butler allegedly thwarted a conspiracy by wealthy industrialists to overthrow President Franklin D. Roosevelt and install a military dictatorship. The hosts note the lack of historical emphasis on this event in modern education.

smedley butler· war is a racket· business plot· fdr· military dictatorship· dupont

1:08:29 General Butler's wars a racket piece in the show notes no agenda show calm reread that it's a general Smedley butler deadly smedley as he says It is possibly the oldest easily the most profitable surely the most vicious. It is The only one international and scope it is the only one in which the profits are reckoned in dollars and the losses in lives That's what we're a part of here. And Smedley was the one who saved this country as a matter of fact from turning into a benign dictatorship on behalf of the DuPonts Yeah, he was asked to overthrow the government wasn't it? Yeah they were asked to overthrow there was a big conspiracy It's been written about if you want to look into and nobody talks about it much Oh well You know what happened but they tried to essentially get Roosevelt out of office and replace him with a military dictatorship

1:09:23 the United States during it in the 30s and is very well documented. It came one inch from actually happening if it wasn't for this guy who they who was part of the scheme and he said no! Right and did he get a medal? Nobody ever got thrown in jail for conspiracy all these huge hot shots and it's a laundry list of unbelievable... So do we have a statue of him at the Capitol, is he on the money? He has that book. And it's out-of-print you can't even get it on the Kindle

CHAPTER 21 / 41 Discussion

The Event Season Finale, Posse Comitatus Propaganda

The season finale of the TV show "The Event" is analyzed for its portrayal of the President overriding the Posse Comitatus Act to deploy Marines domestically. The hosts argue that such shows, including "24," serve as modern brainwashing to make the public comfortable with unconstitutional military actions. They note that political figures like Rush Limbaugh have historically promoted these narratives.

the event· posse comitatus· propaganda· television· rush limbaugh· 24

1:10:02 Yeah, you can get it. It's like the green book for by Gaddafi you can get it online Meanwhile the indoctrination of human resources everywhere continues television show The Event Have you ever watched this show Joan? The event I watched the first episode rolled my eyes fell off that couch and turned it off yeah so this is the season finale of The Event I thought was still on I think one of those shows you know they drop the show in every few weeks it's like V yeah exactly well v is the same thing it's indoctrination that that's for vaccinations and swine flu this one just slayed me when I heard what was being said in this about uh oh there's old old laws shut up we can't listen to the constant what does that think constitute screw that before it's too late now want an update on Sophia where are we on narrowing her location in San Francisco

1:10:56 We are still waiting for her phone to be activated again. As soon as she makes or receives another call, we'll be able to pinpoint where she is. In the meantime, we've mobilized a direct action unit consisting of special ops forces supported by every local law enforcement agency. Local law enforcement? No no no...we had Sophia escape from under our noses before I won't let that happen again! No more mistakes! I want the best on this! Now General who are the best men you have stationed in the vicinity The Marine 4th Force Reconnaissance Company out of Alameda, sir. Good. Prepare to deploy them. They should provide adequate support. You know that I cannot do that, sir. The Pasekab and Todes Act prohibits the use of United States military forces in U.S. assault except for the case about natural disasters. Thank you General. I'm well aware of federal law

1:11:44 I'm also aware that when Congress passed posse comitatus nearly 130 years ago they weren't accounting for the threat we're facing right now so don't question me just do it. Of course Mr President, so they'll work with local law enforcement and with our special ops team." I could just see the president doing that! Hey hey that was written 130 years ago were you born then? No no son posse comitatus don't count don't question me don't lecture my Do as you're told. You guys the president? Yeah! He's got nothing better to do than track somebody down in Alameda?! Yeah, with the Marines...do what you're told. Who cares about posse commentators? We have a lot of these shows we had it with all the right-wingers in the United States who are huge fans especially the first couple years of 24 which is just which is a total off the reservation let's just ad lib screw the Constitution

1:12:37 kill who I have to, it's an incredibly negative propagandistic show. But oh it was great! Rush Limbaugh was actually taken to a screening in advance of the roll out of one of the seasons and he was just jacked up about it. I love it! It is beautiful No, it's a... I find that all highly... It works on all levels. Yeah but you can't deny that that is not just propaganda! Oh yeah no totally. You know people say oh no... It's a modern form of brainwashing and its actually very effective. I think it works very well obviously let's take a look around you That is the sad part. Is that its right? Anyway In fact there an interesting meme going around if you haven't started noticing it

Presidential Assassination Media, Gaddafi JFK Theory

A surge in television programming about the assassinations of JFK and John Lennon, and the shooting of Ronald Reagan, is noted as a potential psychological setup. A subtitled video of Muammar Gaddafi is discussed, in which he claims JFK was killed because he insisted on inspecting Israel's nuclear facilities. Gaddafi suggests Obama stopped making similar demands after learning from JFK's fate.

john f. kennedy· ronald reagan· muammar gaddafi· military channel· israel· nuclear weapons

1:13:32 there was a I think it was on CNN or one of the networks, maybe it was the Military Channel. I've been watching the Military Channel alot stalker the regan the reagan shooting uh... there is a slew of things on on these unused networks and kennedy's assassination yeah uh... things on her then this is all been in the last few weeks has been at least three maybe four shows on this and i'm shooting president yahoo news very disconcerting because it seems to me as though that the setup to some sort of a setting people into a mindset which is not good. No, it's not good

1:14:13 Wow, no I haven't. Actually it's funny you say that...I have kind of seen a couple of these things Yeah they're all showing up at once The Reagan thing i saw and uh... And also talking about John Lennon he is also being discussed Right And Hinckley and there has been some hearings and there are a couple special deals with the Newseum I think Oh the Newseum? You had the CIA exhibit The Newseum is something you have to keep tabs on.

1:14:50 how it's working, what the messaging is or how it's going out from there. But they're always doing some contemporary kind of a discussion that is like sketchy I did see this one clip of Gaddafi which makes no sense playing because its subtitled and of course I don't speak Arabic so have no idea if... It sounds like what he said but he goes into this whole and this is from 2000 just before Joe just as Obama was elected and he's talking about Obama, and he says You know the guy will never do what? He said he's gonna. Do because he Had promised that he would look and see if Israel had weapons of mass destruction at their nuclear plant What is the nuclear plant they're called it something with a D

1:15:39 I don't know. Yeah and he says the reason why Obama started to say that but then stopped is because he took a look at what happened with JFK, says JFK was adamant about seeing if there were nuclear weapons at the nuclear plant in Israel and then they whacked him that's what Gaddafi saying and you know A.) Don't argue... Where did you get that? I haven't heard this one Well, I'm telling you it's what Gaddafi is saying in this subtitled video. Oh okay! And i was like wow... Where did you see it? Um.. I can tell you where I get it from. I think Gaddafi has got a lot of documentation for a lot of

CHAPTER 23 / 41 Discussion

Nicolas Sarkozy, Mossad Espionage Allegations

Reports from "The Guardian" and other sources suggest French President Nicolas Sarkozy may have had past ties to Mossad espionage activities. The hosts speculate that Sarkozy's aggressive push for the Libya intervention was motivated by a need to destroy incriminating documents held by the Gaddafi regime regarding campaign financing.

nicolas sarkozy· mossad· espionage· libya· valerie jarrett· the guardian

1:16:21 crazy stuff that would be interesting. Well it's also kind of no coincidence that when Gaddafi son said, hey you know why don't we just show all the bank receipts for how we financed Sarkozy campaign boom one is like two days later we were attacking him yeah and they turn that around quickly yeah humanitarian reasons there would destroy this city they weren't even near the place and let's see girl which i would say is a reasonably reputable newspaper no more or less reputable than the order to the new york times uh... they report and that was a kind of a left-wing or at the guardian then though i mean you know there's okay because i was getting paid the research already in the garden is perfect ok alif ego claims french police officials kept eight letter secret which expose sarcozy's past participation in espionage activities for mosad

1:17:18 How does that, does that like... Wow! That's out of left field. Which goes as far back as 1983 and it's interesting because right along with this comes my favorite Valerie Jarrett who once again as I watch the West Wing Week reality show which they should put that stuff on Bravo they would get high ratings She's there every step of the way, she's everywhere. She just makes you want to slap her So she is speaking in front of a fundraiser or large group of Jewish contingency and she's from Iran, she's Persian And by the way I have Jewish roots It seems highly unlikely

1:18:08 So that... And off the wall. So I think we can't discount the true issues in the Middle East in all of this, I'm not sure how or why but there is more going on and and I think Sarkozy there is something they're outside of all the oil I think let's just look at the guy! I don't want to condemn just from appearances Well you can Yeah I might as well but I just have a feeling that somehow Sarkozy, you know there was a reason. This is the guy who called for it all. He said hey whoa! Whoa we better go in there of course yeah make sure we burn down the document burn the building with the documentation oh yes no that's kind of handy might be one of the reasons why one of those cruise missiles hit the compound Gerald Salente is kind of a crackpot but he said something pretty funny this past week

1:19:07 When people get killed or there are strikes in Afghanistan that kill innocent people, they always use the term NATO. It's mostly the US and yes the Prime Minister of Turkey is 100% correct Again hypocrisy is before our very own eyes So all this is...is United States doing what it has become accustomed to do And that is attack any country it wants to at anytime for any reason that it could make up. And the new reason that they made up is perfectly Orwellian, humanitarian crisis. So you kill people to solve a humanitarian crisis and you take dictators out that you don't like because really what's behind this? I've said it before with the United States being Iraq if their major export was broccoli...

Listener Karma Requests, Global Producer Community

Listeners from Amsterdam, Ohio, and Australia send in donations and requests for "karma" for various life events, including job searches and upcoming weddings. The hosts promote the "Ozone Nightmare" podcast and thank the "Triad Club" donors. The segment reinforces the "value-for-value" model as the only way the show remains independent.

Media Censorship, Real Unemployment and ShadowStats

The Detroit Free Press reportedly suppressed a negative review of the Chrysler 200 due to advertiser pressure, illustrating the lack of independence in mainstream media. Economic data from ShadowStats suggests the true U.S. unemployment rate is 22.5%, significantly higher than the official government figure of 9%. The hosts characterize the current economic state as a depression rather than a recession.

detroit free press· chrysler· shadowstats· unemployment· depression· advertising

1:24:53 We should mention one of our producers sent in a note, how about the Detroit Free Press? Who pushed back a reporter who tried to write a negative review for the Chrysler 200. Well he wrote it but then he had to correct it! He wrote and they had to pull it I guess they pulled off line or something because it was not positive... It wasn't positive about the car And you know Detroit free press is apparently not as free as you'd like. This is the problem with mainstream media in general and most media, especially in today's era where there's a shortage of work to be had so this is the time when advertisers all

1:25:32 start to put the screws to people and this is the kind of thing we don't have to deal with because, and were not dealing with it because were supported by you, the listener. And we really need that continued support It's the only way it works value for value Did you hear about that Massachusetts job fair they got cancelled cause there are no companies with jobs? I'm not kidding. I'm not kidding a job fair got canceled because we have no people with jobs to offer oh That's not good No, this is not and I was kind of like toss the story away But I mentioned it to a couple of people that went what really? Yeah dude in case you haven't noticed We're in depression

1:26:12 If you look at, there's a company. There is newsletter out there that says it's not that expensive I think its $175 dollars a year for people who invest in the stock market and they need to look at different kinds of numbers. I got this recommended from Horowitz and I subscribe to it by begging for a free subscription but of course the night in the light journalist i pay for that yes your journalists and journalists so anyway so but shes called shadow stats and uh... you should check it out shy thing just look at shadows that will show me on the list for free to add this step when stuff interesting things come out all let you know and so the point is is that they had a key real unemployment records

1:26:50 Yeah, real numbers. They have the regular number that the government has and then they have the old calculation that the government sometimes uses for real unemployment which I think their official number is like 9% and then there's a number of long-term unemployed i think it's something like 12 13 14 15 but the true unemployment based on absolute numbers of people that are actually unemployed unemployable and everything in between and they've just given up is 22.5% and that's been steady for the last three or four months Yeah, I feel pretty crappy for the young kids Yeah they've already given up most of them have given up No they have They just you know they're living at home Or worse they've got their own place that we are paying for

Google Search Degradation, SEO Gaming and JCPenney

The hosts complain that Google search results have become unusable due to excessive advertising and search engine optimization (SEO) gaming. They cite an example of trying to find technical support for a ReadyNAS device but only finding sales links. The segment mentions JCPenney was recently caught and penalized by Google for massive organic search manipulation.

1:27:41 Hey, exactly. All right so the place to support us with your giving levels remember we've got the triad the 300 club our big 300 coming up there even a couple of calls for your birthday John which I thought was interesting and you know Mickey also suggested this as it no screw that if you want to give extra money for Dvorak's birthday on April 5th yeah Then that'll help too, but I mean like we didn't do this for my birthday Well you need your Mickey wasn't thinking about you My Nikki was a figure Bobby. She doesn't love me as much she loves you Alright, happy birthday shout out to Jeffrey Fasito who turns 33 tomorrow. MF Barrow of course says happy birthday to her husband Beat Brian Barrow Andrew Sawyer turns 25 today and then Erin Bergwin she is selling uh... she turned 28 last Thursday and of course that she'll be entering wedlock

1:28:42 on april uh... ninth with that matthew so happy birthday to you from all the buddies here at the north end so if you want a Help the show. There's only one place you need to go vorac org Slash and a or of course channel to work comm slash na or no agenda nation calm And of course, you can always find these links at the show No agenda show calm or just that Google know agenda We own the first page At least we still do actually four pages I'm very worried though. Google is...I find when i am looking for information, google has become pretty much unusable just useless you google for anything and then you just get pages of crap! You might as well hit page 10

1:29:30 right off the bat and then start searching them. Actually, that's amusing because I have done that! Yeah no you have to do it because if you want actual information besides something... No matter what you Google like yesterday i was trying to figure out how to copy files from the ReadyNAS Duo forget about the technical part of it onto a USB drive So I literally say, how to copy files from ReadyNAS Duo to external USB drive. You get pages and pages of advertisements for this box which i already have! I'm not interested in that it's very very hard to get actual information forget actual news information

1:30:09 It's just not there. They just don't help you out anymore. all their waking hours trying to game the system. Right, yeah well of course it goes both ways And there's more people if you look at as many people as Google has working there If you look at group crowdsourcing The number of people that the public has working to game this system is in millions You can't have enough people to fight this Search engine optimization

1:30:50 scam so I'm just saying that hoping that Google hears it and says okay we'll let these guys slide another week yeah but its yeah there was no agenda hey hey they're making money were not getting our cut. That's what it is, thats what its come down to because they let JC Penney slide JCPenney one of the top 10 advertisers spending two million dollars a month You know they let them slide until someone said hey, you know this is really bogus And they had to cut him off but don't go be right back up. It's a scam yeah anyway I think we need to Pull out some lines you got your blade there Joe? Mickey Kennedy and Astrid Klein please step forward

1:32:14 Who says he's working on a night layaway plan but very interested in the 300 club since receiving his tax refund and we recommend everyone who gets their tax refund to help us out. One thing I found exceptionally exciting from the last show is John mentioned someone being knighted that day will receive a ring, are you still giving rings to all of the knights at the No Agenda Roundtable? Answer is yes! Yeah word up with it where are they?! Well, they're coming in April. They've been ordered right? The order is... They are already ordered there's they're being manufactured. And they're paid for we already paid half or whatever? They are paid! Cool yet and i'm not finances did i mean that yeah there's one thing i saw nobody we do it if we have to be safe we save for a safely did we say for the special account i was under the idea that there is a limited number of reason only first few hundred or so nights received no no every night it's important to get on to put maybe a second version eventually but right now they'll get this one the first round if there's a possible i could get a ring i would definitely light a fire under my

1:33:11 behind. Right, and I would probably do the same for many others if all knights just still receive a ring do you really need to stress it on the show or are you really distressed? Okay we just did yeah like i said i figured i missed the ring. And will not repeat will not sell or do...I mean these rings aren't for Knights only there'll be no other ring premium anywhere. No rings for any of them. But he also wants to know there's more 1010 coins he needs to know about that if you have any questions about coins surplus coins extra coins of the coins that weren't fulfilled 1010 or otherwise get a hold of Eric the shill at eric no it's chill at Noah gender nation calm chill at Noah Jenna nation comm and he'll let you know if there I think there's a few ten ten coins left

611 Folsom Street, NSA Fiber Tap and Exotic Escorts

The windowless building at 611 Folsom Street in San Francisco, known for housing an NSA fiber tap, is found to have several unusual businesses listed at its address. These include the RAND Corporation, Level 3 Communications, and "Exotic Escorts." The hosts question how such diverse and potentially nefarious businesses could be cleared to operate in a high-security government-linked facility.

611 folsom street· san francisco· nsa· mi6· rand corporation· exotic escorts

Hollywood Whackers, Warner Brothers Leadership Change

The Las Vegas prosecutor who handled Paris Hilton's cocaine case was himself arrested for buying rock cocaine. In Hollywood, long-time Warner Brothers executive Alan Horn is being pushed out despite a string of hits including "Harry Potter" and "The Dark Knight." The New York Times uses mafia terminology to describe the transition, suggesting Horn is being "whacked" by the studio.

1:38:06 with thirty eight tracks including uh... i was born this way by lady gaga very appropriate i think you call the lady got it and i said of lady god has been then we can look forward to the telephone so that's on the way um but this is a my favorite uh... i get hollywood whackers thing and i've got this uh... the las vegas deputy district attorney who prosecuted paris hilton for cocaine possession was arrested over the weekend john after buying rock cocaine what he was arrested for buying cocaine and he's the guy that prosecuted Paris Hilton. Well this is fishy. Yeah, so I thought that was pretty funny and then uh... this one is from the Hollywood Whackers file Has a guy said anything? has he made a statement? No, he's been arrested! He can't make any statement yet. He's in The Slammer, The Big House. He's done. Wow So um... 12... How did I miss that?!

1:39:06 I give you a 10 for that one, i missed it. How did you miss it? Oh boy! Maybe you were watching a C-SPAN book show all day It makes us the most unattractive men in the universe. I tell ya. I've watched CSPAN for a living. Which is of course exactly... Can I buy you a drink? Come here often What do you do? I'm gonna start doing birdie Start when people say what do you do, I want to say I watch C-SPAN for a living Drink orange juice perhaps huh Alan Horn yeah You may not know this name But he has been kind of the godfather of Warner Brothers for the past 12 years and

1:39:59 and uh... he is of course responsible for many that the number one studio thank you darling stroopwafels they think it's there are the number one uh... studio have been for the past three years perfect storm three hundred departed happy feet oceans eleven sherlock holmes million-dollar baby dark night harry potter of course so he's been pushed out by uh... why why well so we don't know exactly why but i was reading this in the new york times and it was exactly the language that i thought was interesting to see how we talk about this being one big mafia business

1:40:41 And so this is New York Times reporting, one of the long-standing codes of the movie business involves longevity and loyalty. Once you're a made man to use the mafia term adopted by film folk You're allowed to write your own ticket for nearly as long as you want Perhaps eventually you get a discreet nudge to step aside or move into a chairman emeritus type position all the while you are treated with deep respect So he's getting... it's like it's the equivalent of getting whacked They didn't actually whack him, but they still might! But he's moving out. They're gonna have like three guys moving in with the office of the president or some bullcrap like that so you can just predict that Warner Brothers is going down now

1:41:22 because this guy is out. But I mean that just kind of proves the point, that this is one big mafioso business they actually talk about it like they're mafia. I wonder what he did? Maybe he whacked Ronnie Chase and who knows you know that can happen right if you whack a lieutenant from the other team. A couple of don't look over here moments we now have in Europe a European banking authority and no one is talking about this. And they will be now in charge of all the banks. This is the reason that Swiss decided not to go into the EU? Exactly! So it's a bit... It isn't even news release but they have a guy, Guttelander from the lowlands Arnout Fossen who was now Secretary General of the European Banking Authority

CHAPTER 30 / 41 Discussion

European Banking Authority, Federal Reserve Transparency

A new European Banking Authority has been established in London to coordinate EU banking policy, despite the UK's complicated relationship with the union. In the U.S., the Federal Reserve lost an appeal and must release a list of banks that received emergency funding. The hosts speculate that the UK's potential exit from the EU could trigger a conflict similar to the American Civil War.

european banking authority· federal reserve· london· civil war· secession· transparency

1:42:25 uh... stationed in the city of london which of course is not part of the european union it's his own little entity there and it will be a coordinating everything between the banks coordinating everything and um... so that's a don't look over here moment meanwhile while were but i think uh... how we did monday yeah maha well this makes sense what i say on the last show about that the federal reserve i said they had four more days to hand out the list with all the information about uh... who they gave money too but they lost their appeal so what else is happening on monday well obama's yank you speech yet bombers must be so it'll be snowed under one here by double we will be looking for it and meanwhile the fed has now said oh we're gonna do a periodic news conferences

1:43:21 means they have to lie more often. So now starting April 27th, they're going to do periodic news conferences about how things are going but monday while everyone's looking at the president will be looking at this information can i wonder you know that we replayed a clip in the last show of that conservative member of the uh... from duke u k who is a member of the european parliament saying that they u k at least a conservative branch right uh... is going to try to get them tuned to leave the e-mail and again England out uh-huh because it's not a benefit to him I wonder if that's gonna If they don't do that sooner than later That it becomes kind of like something and happened with the United States when South Carolina wanted to secede from the Union which they were actually, I think technically allowed to do but they But he started the Civil War Which federalized entire? That kinda sucked

1:44:17 It wasn't a good war for us. We lost 4 million people, I think it was terrible. You'd think it would trigger civil war within the EU and we have to actually get involved obviously we don't take England's side but would we or what would happen if they decide that get martial law you did clare marshall on the u k and then take over the place i have good they do it if they may pull off well this is interesting to bring that up because they do have two clips from our friend uh... mister forage yeah he's always easy he's actually instigating this but yes let's listen to him love with this guy ok so that's a bit so this is unfortunately these are not clips of him um... in parliament in european starfleet command there

CHAPTER 31 / 41 Discussion

Nigel Farage, EU Regime Change in Libya

Nigel Farage reports on a private meeting with European Council President Herman Van Rompuy, who admitted that the goal in Libya is regime change, contradicting UN Resolution 1973. Farage questions the legality of the war and the lack of public appetite for foreign interventions. He uses the phrase "how long is a piece of string" to describe the indefinite nature of the military commitment.

nigel farage· herman van rompuy· libya· nato· regime change· european parliament

1:45:03 uh... but this is him on their russia today uh... and uh... in the guy actually set that he's He's probably programmed for all we know, but he sounds like such a trained news reporter. He is actually responding to the interviewer as if he was a war correspondent on the ground and let us face it, basically is a war correspondent at Starfleet command in Brussels. The European Council President Herman Van Rompuy pointed out earlier today that EU is primarily aiming at Al-Kadhafi now that not what UN resolution indicates do you think the EU is on collision course with the UN here perhaps?

1:45:39 I was very shocked and I've just been to a private meeting with him of seven of us from the European Parliament where he repeated that. So it's perfectly clear that as far as Rumpoy is concerned regime change is why we're involved in Libya, what was also surprising was that we'd all seen it to begin with as France, Britain and America getting involved in this. And it's now coming under this morning a NATO umbrella but what Van Rompuy made clear was that those countries would not and in fact could not have gone to war with Libya without the European Council approving it so what Van Rompuy is saying is that its the EU as much as anybody else who has started off this war and that the aim is to topple Gaddafi

1:46:19 that does go against UN Resolution 1973 and I see it as a very surprising development. So he's kind of like telling us nothing new there. By the way, you're right he does sound like a foreign correspondent! Yeah no and it gets even better now in this next segment which is kinda... He brings out rolls up the humor here which we love him so much for I don't believe there is any support for another ground offensive and certainly if I talk about British public opinion You know we've been told by the Armed Forces Minister Nick Harvey In response to a question What is the length of our commitment? He replied how long was a piece of string How long was a piece of string?!

1:46:57 I love that. How long was a piece of string? What does that even mean? Goodness me, we've had British troops on the ground in Afghanistan now for over 10 years! I don't think there's any appetite for us getting involved in foreign wars where we cannot directly see our own national interests being threatened and where frankly if we go in to support the rebels We do not even know who they are He just confirms everything but I think he is programmed I really do. He's on someone side and is probably closer to ours, but he's not our friend really? Probably not. We have to assume not. There is no evidence of one way or the other but you have to make the assumption because who else would... it just doesn't make sense otherwise. Now what has to be part of some illegal thing? Well he has to be part of something otherwise well you know otherwise he would have more plane accidents so Warren Buffett uh... I think uh... probably

CHAPTER 32 / 41 Discussion

Warren Buffett, Euro Collapse and Human Resources

Warren Buffett suggests that the disintegration of the Euro is not "unthinkable" due to the fiscal strain caused by countries "free-riding" on others. He notes that while currencies may fail, the "human resources" and factories remain, ensuring the continuation of the labor system. The hosts interpret Buffett's comments as a signal that major investors like Bill Gates are moving away from the Euro.

warren buffett· euro· goldman sachs· bill gates· austerity· greece

1:47:53 Most interesting guy to listen to although it's painful because it takes him forever To say something A guy can't talk anymore But he ran away from Goldman Sachs Did you read this? It was pretty funny uh... goldman's of course he uh... he lends goldman sachs five billion dollars and uh... the big on that is like a million for today he makes from that in interest payments and now but of course eventually has to you know the goldman say it's marker goldman sachs said is able to buy back um... and so what's the guy there are they had honcho uh... goldman sachs he called this is all in news

1:48:37 called up a warren said that i did it's time and he he's actually yeah i don't have this on the on the clip reactionally is saying that uh... lloyd blank fine call them up said hey look by warner's time after to get the five billion back and then he then went but warren's not here right now please leave a message at the sound of the beat and any lefties in india and he's been facing the news saying yet if you can find me he can have his five billion back now of course he's jesting But he did come out and he said, uh yeah... Is he? Really? Right. He came out and he said the euro could fall apart! It's not going to be simple but he kind of is agreeing with your civil war theory John

1:49:23 and uh... you wanna hear this amused absolutely painful but i think it's worth because this is of course the oracle of omar huge powerful interest that want keep that from happening enough of a a strain could cause a devolver i mean it's i know some people like us on thing double i don't i don't think it's unthinkable i think it there will be huge efforts put forth to keep that from happening. What, the collapse of the euro? Yeah, the disintegration of the euro in some way and frankly I don't know how you take it apart either That's another question but You can have three or four five countries that are in effect free riding on on the other countries That won't work over time They have to get their fiscal houses In reasonable harmony with And incidentally originally if you ran more than 3%

1:50:20 deficit you know that there were supposed to be sanctions of one sort or another and then they started getting ignored and then people went their own way. And by the way, the human resources in countries in Europe they're saying this like hey how can we have to have austerity measures for those lazy Greek guys? This is literally what people on the street are saying! I would be saying it too Of course you would be and you will be when California goes broke When you're in California, I'm sorry other people will be going hey hey hey I live in Texas why do we have to pay for those elitist Californians? What kind of exposure does Berkshire have if the worst case scenario came up? Sorry. I had a stroopwafelette in my mouth. What are you eating? A stroopwafel! Mickey has little stroopwaffles now and people sending me stroopwaffles Don't they get stale after awhile

1:51:09 I don't care, they're worth it. Stale stroopwafel is better than no stroopwafel. These are little ones, little discs, little mini stroopwafelets Anyway of course Buffett is betting against the Euro duh! Well I don't regard this Europe falling apart or anything The factories don't disappear The workers don't lose their skills Hey we'll still have slaves That's essentially what he is saying. Yeah, hey don't worry about it we'll still have slaves that's cool don't worry about that you know We will have factories to put them in and put them to work and they still have their skills of walking And moving a point They can stil walk and talk and show up Twist the knob So currencies Notice he doesn't say we will have academics and brilliant people and explorers and scientists No! We will still have basic human resources And fragile things

CHAPTER 33 / 41 Discussion

Currency Devaluation, New World Order Creep

The high value of the Euro is cited as a major disadvantage for European exports compared to American products like Boeing jets. Warren Buffett's description of the economic situation as an "interesting play" is analyzed as a slip suggesting the crisis is a scripted event. The hosts characterize Buffett as a "creepy" figure central to the New World Order.

currency· boeing· airbus· warren buffett· omaha· new world order

1:51:59 for centuries. I mean, we've had our own problems with currencies over time but lots of countries have had...I mean Brazil had a currency that went to zero several times in the last century so it does not destroy a country to have currency problems It doesn't mean they have to get their house in order in certain ways and the IMF has helped do that We just left South Korea and they were having problems in the late 1990s. It isn't the end of the world, but it would be a lot of adjustment needed if the euro proved to be in real trouble. Some adjustment will be needed John! So he's pushing... this is very interesting clip for me because I've been wondering when this is going to happen. Here we are. The fact that the euro is extremely inflated its $1.40 plus as we speak. I think it's even more than that isn't?

1:52:56 I think it's like, last time i looked there was a buck forty-two which is way too high and its killing their exports. It's actually not a good thing to have your money that so out of whack and the Japanese for example have their monies completely screwed screwing them but we are encouraging in some ways because it keeps our exports you know makes our one thing makes our Boeing jets a lot cheaper compared to a Airbus. Its 140 Yeah, it's 40% discount. And so it's like a deal! I mean, you know... It's ridiculously cheap by comparison and keeps tourists coming to the United States and keeps our people enslaved within the borders because you go to Europe and it's like holy crap what happened my money?

1:53:45 Really, that's what happened. And when you're in England you feel it somehow being sucked out of... In fact my money was stolen is how bad it was! It just disappears so anyway the uh So but I but Buffett coming out like this Just two things one I'm pretty sure because Gates some years back when the dollar when there when they year was 80 cents as opposed to a buck 40 When which is when we should have bought those Paris apartments and where we had money Yeah, back in the day. Back in the day That's when Gates kind of came out and Bill said that he was getting out of the dollar I wrote a column about this complaining that he's an unpatriotic to do this But at least to make these these public assertions that he's get into dollars week He's gonna put it and he's gonna any indicated is going into euros? I'm absolutely sure that Buffett someone who triggered this in him because why would he care about About moving money from dollars two euros

1:54:37 And now that Buffett is switching his sides because they run it up, which they've run it up well. This means the gates will be out too! We're talking about huge piles of money just to begin with this could be the beginning and end for the euro Yeah, I think you're right. Even for him to be hemming and hawing about this is enough! People listen to Warren Buffett like he's the messiah. There are another 40 seconds of him. Let's listen to him play it. Who knows if you broke up the euro exactly what these separate currencies would sell for. But I don't want to be playing that game, I don't know myself so i'll stick with the games that I understand. It's an interesting... Homie don't play dat! We're watching an interesting play and Play? it's an interesting play now but do you hear how he says it

1:55:38 He doesn't say it like it's a play on words or like its technology plays. It is an interesting play, like he's watching Spider-Man on Broadway! He literally saying play I believe as in play... Like a scripted thing being set up. I don't want to be playing that game. I do not know myself so I'll stick with the games that I understand. It's an interesting we're watching and interesting play. See? We are watching an interesting play I mean, isn't he just saying it right there? Am i deaf here? Am I crazy? Well if you're going to take him literally and there's no reason not too yeah that is exactly what he was saying. And I didn't know about Portugal today but that's... What Portugal does affects the behavior of somebody else and then and then and if a country can get by with very unbalanced fiscal policy and gets bailed out by others uh... tends to reward

1:56:33 bad behavior on the other hand if they come down hard on them uh you know the populace may behave as apparently they did it from what you're telling me. The populous, do you mean like the slaves who revolt Warren? Is that what you're trying to say yes he's like the populous You know the thing I gotta reduce? The populus New World Order creep. Yeah he's creepy though He creeps me out Yeah, that whole thing's in Omaha. I got a feeling he might be part of the pedo bear scandal It looks like it. I don't hide doubt. He's got cheese too busy in the west coast. He's not well. He's 70 He's in his seventy year cycle meanwhile back here at home

General Electric Tax Refund, Osama Bin Laden Fake Tapes

General Electric reportedly paid zero taxes on $14.2 billion in profits and received a $3.2 billion refund, sparking discussions on the lack of public outrage. Meanwhile, Professor Bruce Lawrence of Duke University claims the 2001 Bin Laden "confession tape" was a fake. The segment questions why Bin Laden has not appeared on video for years, suggesting he is likely dead and replaced by CIA assets like Anwar al-Awlaki.

1:57:21 we now and why were not uh... we who came as a hobby why the young people are not out with sticks and machetes and shotguns on the streets when you hear that not only did general electric not pay any tax on profits of fourteen point two billion dollars but they actually got a refund of three point two billion dollars i mean hello had to tell maybe you got a little children of America maybe they don't understand me. Maybe I gotta over modulate this is crazy and no one's angry. Well when we play the end show clip with fine he discusses the lack of, probably doesn't care He mentions as somebody once says when you have a nation

1:58:15 of sheep you have a, you end up with the government of wolves. What is it? Let me cue that clip up to... Oh here it is We The People end of show clip I'll make sure I have that one set and good. I got a couple miscellaneous clips we can play Yeah sure There's one thats kinda caught my attention its kind of interesting It's a guy who's a professor who has been studying Bin Laden videos and audio tapes To spot the differences? yeah to see whose what that and some other, but he makes some interesting observations that I thought yeah they kind of play into some of our memes and some of our themes in it's and again remotely interesting. And i should mention that I don't think we'd be that hard to do an audio nowadays with the kinda gear you can buy, we can buy Adam and I both know a lot about this stuff and we know and I've been enough audio recording places

1:59:08 There's enough gear out there where you could take somebody's voice print and superimpose it on anything. And that's not even the CSI stuff it's not even that hard. No, no and it's like very easy to do but did but this guy the professor in bin laden clip which is on a show uh that was on the military channel which I really thought finding a very enjoyable channel to watch because they really seriously do I think is an outstanding programming it's all about guns shooting wait do they have realities? Do their reality we could do a reality show for the military channel

1:59:43 Do they have one? Do they have a reality show? No, they should but it's called... It was an investigative report called Why is Bin Laden Alive? Hot melts in the military! And half of it implies that he's not. Really?! This little clip I just thought was interesting out of the blue. ...and there are hugely successful form of propaganda for al-Qaeda One man has studied them closely for clues. Bruce Lawrence is professor of religion at Duke University in North Carolina He says that Bin Laden wants to mobilize every Muslim into action, in a war against what he terms infidels

2:00:21 The key themes for Bin Laden is first of all the humiliation of the present day ummah or Muslim world. His constant theme is an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth your lives for our lives if you attack us we attack you Professor Lawrence has convinced that some bin laden statements are not authentic and he singles out the confession tape released by the Pentagon in December 2001 I have absolutely no doubt that's a fake. This notion of confessing, that he is the one who... That is inconsistent with Bin Laden from his earlier and also later messages You never have him directly admitting that he did it But the big question for Professor Lawrence is why haven't we seen more of Bin Laden speaking? If he is alive and if he has been someone who likes to be in spotlight

2:01:15 If that's the case, why would he not be visible? Why would he not have had a videotape rather than audio tape since his nearest contemporary, Ayman al-Zawahiri regularly appears on video tapes. I think that question has not been answered. Not satisfying." Duh! Well we know why because he is dead and Anwar al-Awlaki is a CIA asset who spoke at the Pentagon luncheon brunch after 9 11 And he's the new hero. He is the new guy I tell people this you know when they find out what what I do and I say, uh, I watch What do you tell him? You do I watch c-span for a living Do you want a drink? And What do you tell people you can't I buy you a drink Oh, all right. I watched C spam for living Can I buy you a drink?

They know that kind of... he is home grown terrorist It's amazing we had him We had him in our grasp and let him slip away or perhaps there something else going on People are so stupid Anyway I got a couple of things, actually some information that came in through the emails from Justin. Adam, I've been taking Allegra my whole life! I have never heard that you can't take it with juice?

2:03:36 I've taken it with juice before and have not felt more allergies or less allergies. Also the advertisement made it seem like when you take Allegra, you can't have juice at all which is total BS this is all due to the fact that Allegra can't be bought over-the-counter now! Ah! Here you go. This is what we didn't know, John I used to pay $40 for 30 now i can get 90 for 39 dollars Just thought it would send my knowledge of the drug thanks for all you do I guess this a set up with the Allegra drug and then uh... What have here? Ummm.... I didn't understand whether he said its an over-the counter drug or not It's not! Well maybe I misread it Let me just check

2:04:21 It sounds like now it's just over the counter. Oh, it can be bought over the counter now I'm sorry. Yeah in other words you just buy it You don't have to get a prescription so its cheaper Right Well that happens before these drugs go public domain Out of patent then all of sudden it's like oh it's good you can just get it without a prescription Now it's like 10 cents right? Of course And they're still making money! Yeah no kidding Interesting little fact Adam FedEx made my friend who was a driver for FedEx sign a contract that he would not take shanty while employed with the company Wow yeah those FedEx guys are ahead of the curve. Yeah because they know they know that people go wacky and start killing people

Larry James Appointment, IBM Watson Analytics

President Obama appointed Dr. Larry James, a former chief psychologist at Guantanamo Bay and Abu Ghraib, to a White House task force on military family well-being. The hosts also critique a new IBM Watson commercial, arguing that the "deep analytics" claimed by the computer are a marketing front for a simple lookup program. They reference Edwin Black's research on IBM's historical involvement with the Holocaust.

2:07:55 it's very embarrassing they say and i'm not quite sure exactly the extent of it but uh... this seems like a money was taken out of accounts and there was a good hack but when i would ever get here at the end of that obviously will never know exactly what's going to hear the risk resolution resolution and um... we have one of these for you wow it's always fun when you see who is coming into the obama administration this is a got to be one of my uh... one of my favorites uh... the newest appointee just uh... for uh... missus task force the uh... newest apart salon why do you have all these pop-up ads i hate you for that uh... okay doctor larry james any idea who he is uh... member of the james gang and no not at the james gang um... doctor larry james

He was the chief psychologist at Guantanamo and he served in 2004 in the same position as Abu Ghraib

2:09:40 Another fine selection by Mr. Obama, by Professor Obama! You just can't make it up John I don't know how to do it you can't make it up is hilarious that's funny thats a good one And it's kind of predicted, although to me this is not like a wow look we predicted it and here it is. But we might as well play the new IBM Watson commercial. One morning I shot an elephant in my pajamas. How he got into my pajamas? I don't know! Real language is filled with nuance slang and metaphor It's more than half the world's data, but computers couldn't understand it. Watson is a computer that uncovers meaning in our language and pinpoints the right answer instantly. It uses deep analytics to answer questions computers never could before even the ones on Jeopardy! That's what I'm working on. I'm an IBMer Let's build a smarter planet

2:10:34 So, and the whole commercial is overlaid with all the great things Watson is going to be doing for you as we build a smarter planet. With Watson at the center of it It's just...you can wait for so now its in medical research because they can answer questions like the ones on Jeopardy! Answer questions that people cant And next on Docket has these tenders are now being put out Watson will prove to us that climate disruption is real You can just wait for it. How's watching gonna prove anything to us? Because he'd won Jeopardy! All you do is answer questions that are, you know, fixed questions and can't do analysis... When did I start doing analysis?! When you win Jeopardy that's it don't you understand there's nothing left. I haven't heard this part of this about this program It's a look-up program it looks stuff up

2:11:24 It doesn't do an analysis of the question and then looks something up. The analysis is in the front end, not the back end so now it went into doing analysis You heard it! It does deep analytics Bull crap Yeah And then there's a... I don't think we should play this clip IBM should be ashamed of itself Yeah well IBM isn't ashamed because they built machines to identify Jews in World War II They don't give a crap your friend investigated all that. Yep, Ed Black. Ed Black he investigated that they what was the name of that machine? The Jew killing machine I think it was called. It's a holler its card sorter but yeah hey let me sort some cards Jew non-Jew. It was from logistics there was a logistics machine. That's what they do and its ERP exactly Enterprise Resource Planning very early ERP IBM doesn't give a crap

CHAPTER 38 / 41 Discussion

Olympic Committee Revenue Dispute, Paralympics Funding

A dispute has emerged within the London Olympic Committee regarding the allocation of profits between the main games and the Paralympics. Two directors were reportedly removed from the board for questioning the funding structure. The hosts argue the Olympics are a "money rape" of local populations, particularly in East London, who will be left with the debt.

2:12:18 So I'm not going to play this clip, but there's a big brew hot in the Olympic committee. Oh, let's save that for the next show. Yeah I can just tell you what it is briefly because no one will talk about it except us but the deal was that the revenue, the profits of the Olympics would go to the British Olympic Committee and but only after the Paralympics which of course cost a lot of money and there's not like the Paralympics are on TV there's no big contracts for that So, part of the revenue for the Paralympics has to come from the profits from the regular Olympics. And then the London Olympic Committee... What's the Para-Olympics? It's the disabled Olympics or special olympics I should say. Let's not get any political correctness going!

2:13:10 uh... deal with it but they didn't mean you know that you got the olympics like huge television contracts and pepsi in everyone's all over and they get a pair of index like oh it so cute hit me get like a little blurb on uh... a little diddy in the news and that's about as there's no big at no big contract um... so the deal was that that had to be financed out of uh... london's uh... take for the big olympics and london is now saying to directors have been kicked off the board when i kick up a board they can vote now that then demoted denounced They were saying, yeah we really want to have that money before the Paralympics because we're like running a little bit short on this whole deal. And so there's like this huge elitist brouhaha and of course it is not going to be reported cause everyone still thinks that its like a big kumbaya at the Olympics where they are really being screwed and its a big money rape particularly if East London you'll be raped and you will be paying for that for years

2:14:10 They can look forward to that. In the show notes, noagendashow.com Yeah absolutely You got anything else John before we wrap this up? I don't have anything important, stuff can wait Maybe just a funny one I have a funny one, Gingrich is full of crap Well, is that funny or just the truth? It's funny to me. That's true. It's a truth. It's funny to be here and I'll set it up as a quick quick kid. It's a gangred There was a convention. I think it still maybe still going on. I'm not sure it's called Let me look let me flip through my notes The National Conservative Principals PAC meeting we're all

CHAPTER 39 / 41 Discussion

Newt Gingrich, American Exceptionalism Poll

Newt Gingrich speaks at a conservative PAC meeting, claiming that 80% of Americans believe in "American Exceptionalism." He attacks the 18% who disagree, labeling them as liberal elites, judges, and media figures. The hosts mock Gingrich's rhetoric and his claim that the "left" has dominated for 80 years, pointing out the frequent shifts in party power.

2:14:50 the conservatives came and they lectured, the harangue of these conservatives all their basic ideas. So Gingras comes up with this kind of his typical thing and then he drops a bomb at the end which is just bullcrap! And it's like you know I'll explain it after you play it. I'm very optimistic. I believe that in 2012 we could win a historic election and we could end the eighty-year dominance of the left and find a man who was under this planet why what the other than your dominant to the left uh... this proves our theory that it's one big party any yeah i'll miss that if you have a year's eight eighty years did he mean eight or did not wasn't even a d it's been two

2:15:37 It's been two, exactly it's been two. Do we have to listen to more or is that it? Oh that wasn't it, that was just another... Oh oh oh. ...country back into a center-right government reflecting the core values of the American people. Oh yes! Oh Yes! Newt! Newt! Newt! I think there are three large topics on which we can recenter America The first is values because this is truly a center-right country, not a left wing country. The second is the economy... Squirrel! ...because this is a country that favors jobs paychecks and economic growth. And squirrels? And the third is national security. Securitay. Let me briefly describe why I believe this is true. Gallup about two months ago asked the question Here it is Do you believe that the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence make America an exceptional country

2:16:36 Or do you believe we're a normal country? By 80 to 18, the American people said we are an exceptional country. Oh yes! Newt, newt, newt, newt, newt, newt, newt... The problem is that the 18 includes many of our politicians, many of our bureaucrats, many of our judges much of our news media and many of our tenured faculty Who says? Where does he get this bull crap? Study says, study shows. It doesn't say the 18% include tenured professors, the news media, the politicians... where is this?! That's not in the poll! Watson did some deep analysis and came up with a solution He just made it up and throw out there like what's the eighteen percent of probably illegal aliens for all we know We don't know who the eighteen percent are

CHAPTER 40 / 41 Discussion

Dutch Politician Twitter Gaffe, Bruce Fine Outro

A Dutch politician accidentally posted a sexually explicit message publicly on Twitter, believing he was sending a private direct message. The hosts use this as a cautionary tale about social media use. The segment transitions into a final montage of Bruce Fine's warnings about the erosion of American sovereignty and the rise of a "government of wolves."

twitter· netherlands· bruce fine· social media· gaffe

2:17:28 I'd be irked about it if i was an illegal alien, that's what I check on the box. This country sucks! Or some Swiss guy who lives in Geneva or Zug. Yeah just a normal country there is nothing special about this place. John C. Devorak's Pet Peeve of the Day Anyway that's the point That guy is annoying. Yeah he's a dick All right, so I just want to say one last thing because i thought it was hilarious from getmonation lowlands. You know how uh now these kids these days have the twitters John? They got this tweet thing going on about it yeah so sometimes you gotta be careful because you may think you're tweeting or doing a DM like a direct message...you know you can do that with the Twitters! You can send a direct message private to someone yes but did you know how to do this cuz you should be careful Yeah I'm very careful So this Dutch politician

2:18:18 uh... from from the forced he thought he was dm'ing someone now he's single man so it's okay what he sent but instead of DM-ing it went out publicly and here I have the translation of his tweet as you throbbingly climax for the first time I feel your juices in my mouth as if they were the nectar of love. Oh, that is disgusting! And of course everyone's calling him on it because you can't like delete a tweet and as outlets you can delete it Yeah, well he didn't do it in time Most people don't know how to do. It yeah well He doesn't know how to do it. He doesn't know how to DM apparently either Anyway I think he did have the best comeback line he said well at least they got a couple extra followers oh

2:19:11 Yeah, good luck with that. Alright tell us about this end of show clip we got coming up. This is the guy Fine again who did the book American Empire before the fall Bruce Fine and this is a couple of small snippets I put together and it's the same kind of rant Oh its a montage It's two clips back, kind of one and another but it just you won't notice seamless. But it is like a... You're right? Seamless! But its like this depressing kind of overview with the problems we've got and I think it's thematic and I think it does reflect some of the ideals in this show but yeah it's a good way to finish. It's on the list that will get the book right after the show
