About this episode

Senator James Inhofe describes viewing gruesome post-mortem photographs of Osama bin Laden, including images from the compound and the burial at sea. During a televised interview with Eliot Spitzer, Inhofe repeatedly refers to the deceased as Obama instead of Osama. The gunshot wounds described by the Senator suggest a specific tactical execution that contradicts initial official narratives regarding the raid in Abbottabad.

Facebook reportedly hired the PR firm Burson-Marsteller to recruit journalists for a smear campaign against Google privacy policies. Meanwhile, the pharmaceutical industry is shifting focus toward vaccines as major drug patents expire, creating a new investment bonanza protected by statutory laws. In the European Union, Denmark has re-instituted border controls, challenging the Schengen Accord, while massive riots in Athens over economic austerity measures receive minimal coverage in American media. Additionally, FCC Commissioner Meredith Atwell Baker announced her departure to become a lobbyist for Comcast just months after voting to approve the NBC Universal-Comcast merger.

John C. Dvorak presents a custom See Something Say Something ringtone that mocks the Department of Homeland Security for its culture of neighborhood surveillance. The hosts analyze the satirical, fascist propaganda of the Starship Troopers film franchise as a blueprint for modern government public service announcements. Executive Producer Sir Snorterstein provides updates on the cultural practice of eating reindeer in Norway.

CHAPTER 01 / 46 Discussion

Human Resource Value, Japanese Nuclear Reactor Status

The discussion opens with a critique of the government's view of citizens as human resources with a calculated monetary value. Attention shifts to the lack of media coverage regarding nuclear power plants in Japan following the 2011 disaster. Reports indicate that fuel at plant number one has been exposed to air, potentially releasing more radiation than previously acknowledged.

00:00 I don't want sugar in my croissant. And now officially recognized by the European Union. Coming to you from the Hilltop Watchtower, Crockpot Command Center in Gimel Nation West The People's Republic of Southern California In the morning I'm Adam Curry and from Northern Silicon Valley where i can't really hear the music or anything else that your playing there...I'm John C. Dvorak Sorry about that Wow, why is he doing that rambling without the music? That make no sense. Yeah

00:48 In the morning to you, John. In the morning to you Adam and to all ships at sea and feet in the air! And to all of our human resources who are in the chatroom on noagendastream.com, noagendachat.net All charged up and ready to go the way their government loves them Slowly amortizing Their 9.1 million dollar human resource value down to zero so I'm looking at some of the email and I realized that, gee when's the last time we heard anything about those nukes in Japan?

CHAPTER 02 / 46 Discussion

Senator James Inhofe, Osama Bin Laden Death Photos

Senator James Inhofe describes viewing gruesome post-mortem photographs of Osama bin Laden, including images from the compound and the burial at sea. During a televised interview with Eliot Spitzer, Inhofe repeatedly misspeaks, referring to the deceased as "Obama" instead of "Osama." The conversation analyzes the specific gunshot wounds described by the Senator and the lack of correction from the interviewer during the broadcast.

james inhofe· osama bin laden· barack obama· eliot spitzer· intelligence committee

01:24 The nukes in Japan? The power plants. Oh, okay yeah When's the last time you heard about it? Did you know that as of today plant number one is now causing all kinds of problems the core...the fuel has been exposed to the air and maybe more radiation than ever before will be now released I'm too preoccupied waiting for listening to Senator Inhofe talk about the Osama Bin Laden pictures. I have no time for important stuff like that You mean like the clip that i have? Did you get it too? Inhofe? Yeah The one from Elliot Spitzer?

02:06 Yes, oh my goodness brilliant minds think alike shall we not actually it's interesting because this he I Think it might have been pool video at one point cuz everyone sure has the video of senator James Inhofe who was on the? It's young the Intelligence Committee. Is that what he's honest out why he's a privileged Elite that he's allowed to see that the committee is on but he did get to see the pictures and said they were gruesome Well, we can actually hear him explain. But the question is what pictures did he actually see? The first 12 were taken in the compound right as obvious it was right after the incident took place so they're pretty grueling The other three were taken on this ship and included the burial at sea So I would say this Three of the first twelve pictures where Obama when he was alive Obama?!

02:59 And the funniest thing it's a split screen with Eliot Spitzer and you know there is little delay. Spitzer is looking like a freaking zombie into the camera while Inhofe says Obama, and all you see Is Spitzer's eyes for like a nanosecond shift to the right and then back? Because you know he is looking at some floor producer going like no, no don't react to it. Don't worry about it. Don't say anything shh, shh, shh...don't say anything Three of the first twelve pictures were of Obama when he was alive You know, this can't be a coincidence anymore. This is impossible! And Obama's... well I you know it's hard to catch myself. I haven't done anything like that. I haven't had this happen ever Mickey has had it and you've had it all the people I love seem to have it. By the way there was an interaction between him and Spitzer I thought The thing could have been just a feed

03:59 That was actually he's actually asking questions, but I yeah He certainly well. I don't know why he didn't say something because it seems to me that right there You say hey you mean Osama? Well spitzer looks off to the right for us to the left for him to the right for a nanosecond he shifts his eyes and Clearly someone was standing next to the camera for produce an obvious stooge because any normal person who is listening would say excuse me you mean Obama Osama there now I did it You need me you the thing is I always say Osama bin Laden. I rarely ever say Osama if you're just gonna say, Osama That's what happens and I rarely ever say Obama. I always say George W Obama, you know giving our president credibility with his proper name hello everybody

04:44 Let's just listen to these pictures though for a second because of course we want to know how incredibly horrible these gunshot wounds look in Obama's head. And they did this for the purpose of being able to look at those and seeing the nose, eyes relationship for positive identification purposes and that was good. Of course, that's how we always identify people positively is by their nose and ears One of the things that was uh... I had to make my own conclusion on this because they're not really sure one of those shots went through an ear out through the eye socket I was like cool so that was a shot from behind then he was shot in the back no if it goes through the ear

05:31 and it comes out the eye socket then he also corrected it, he didn't know. He went on him No he didn't Or it went into the eye socket and out and then it exploded Oh see now he doesn't know what he's talking about Yeah but that was pretty hilarious And pretty stupid that uh... That uh... What's his face? Elliot Spitzer didn't say anything Typical Imhoff sounded drunk Excuse me Um well wouldn't you be drunk if you had to do this kind of work for a living? I was thinking about the exact same thing. I'd be hammered! And then, I was watching nothing but these hearings and listening to the entire AT&T T-Mobile hearing which i have some clips of which are interesting Really?! That's interesting!?

CHAPTER 03 / 46 Discussion

Washington Alcoholism, Military Decision Making Anecdote

A discussion regarding the reputation for heavy drinking among politicians in Washington D.C. leads to a personal anecdote about a relative involved in high-level military decisions. The story describes a late-night session involving three bottles of scotch during which the decision to initiate a war, possibly Korea or Vietnam, was allegedly finalized while the participants were intoxicated.

washington dc· alcoholism· korea· vietnam· scotch

06:19 yeah was always an interesting because the guy that runs a c e o of eighteen t is a douche bag okay you mean a yes so uh... okay makes any sky and he's full of crap in his business we talk anyway the i'd this to watching these things i'm thinking the appetite you know there does that there is a reputation in washington for all those senators and house members to be alcoholics I can see where you'd head that way, because it's pretty... You know you gotta do something. Yeah well it's funny my uncle as you know has been involved in many a decision-making but my sister visited him when she was recently over from Italy and next time I see him and I will see them when we go on the big no agenda Gitmo Nation tour

07:12 We will be seeing uncle Don and maybe you could borrow a Will Smith's bus the stinky one The stinky noisy one anyway And Willa was telling me some story about that he was talking about when they decided to do some Basically start a war it must have been either Korea or Vietnam or whatever That my aunt on Meg. You know that they were in the study I guess they didn't do this at any secure location of his house probably and And they were discussing this for you know until deep in the night But they were drinking like they had drunk like three bottles of scotch until they fight. Yeah, let's do this Completely hammered We should go but bomb this stuff Bob Bob what's bother and what do you say John we could do that job I

08:01 Well, you know if your plastered enough probably the only word you can actually say and get out is the word bomb. In fact I think my uncle actually said dudes i'm so bombed. Bomb? Okay let's do it! Let's bomb it! Hey a lot of PR company work has gone on which has just been astounding me The one that came out this morning from the PR company that apparently Facebook hired to get a journalist to write an op-ed that they would then place in some prominent publications, I might add. Some of them which we read such as The Washington Post

CHAPTER 04 / 46 Discussion

Facebook, Google Privacy Smear Campaign

Facebook reportedly hired the PR firm Burson-Marsteller to recruit journalists and bloggers to write negative op-eds about Google's privacy policies. The scandal was exposed by Christopher Soghoian and Dan Lyons after they were approached with ghostwritten materials intended for placement in major publications like The Washington Post. The effort aimed to smear Google's social circles feature by highlighting data collection practices.

facebook· google· burson-marsteller· dan lyons· christopher soghoian

08:40 uh... to smear google on their privacy policies and uh... an actions the you follow this yet no i miss this whole story this is great we are not that it is a great because it shows two things a googles evil b face books evil c p r companies run the show so they all yeah well what we know that yes about uh... google's uh... circle anyway the uh... daniel lion is the The reporter I guess he used to work for MSNBC so a I think I know him Yeah, you might let me see if I can pull up the relic here Let me see pictures and I'll see if it's him. Yes is uh Is it with an e or an idea? And I yell oh One I've got a there we go y o n l y o n yeah, no yo ns yes

09:37 Okay, so this was a Forbes. Maybe is it I don't know if they even have the right guy here Anyway, so Facebook hired PR firm BM what is that Burson? Burst and Marstellar Yeah Right one of the big big boys right and so they they approached the journalist and said look You know Here's all the details on how evil Google is with their Google social circles thing whatever stealing your information and selling it to advertisers etc. And they said you know what? You know we'll We can get you a placement in Washington Post Huffington Post Politico all these great Great online publications that people trust so much Daniel Lyons is the fake Steve Jobs Well, I see that but is he the guy and if he may not be there yeah Dan Lyons reveals Yeah hmm

10:34 Yeah, he wrote a book about it and the whole thing. And you know the funny thing I don't know him personally but i do know that uh... yeah he's the fake Steve Jobs so he has gotten a lot of- He is very high profile since he pulled that stunt. No this is a different guy, I'm sorry. This is Lions is the guy who was breaking it The person who... Oh, okay so Lyons is breaking the story. He's breaking the story. The journalist in question was Christopher Sogoian S-O-G H-O-I-A-N S-O what? S-O-G H-O-I-A-N

11:14 And so he's actually published the emails from the PR firm. It is a tremendous scandal and I really hope that we can, you know that people can take this for what it really is because it says so much mainly about Facebook! You know how can you trust people to do stuff like this? What does Facebook so afraid of unless of course someone's not playing ball And you know, we can't have this happening if both Facebook and Google are NSA CIA. So, you know... This is so fresh. I mean it happens on show one. Yeah well Segoian is-I'm looking at his Twitter post and he says that Facebook give its PR firm a list of privacy advocates who might agree to ghost written op ed or did a PR firm create the list itself? He's breaking the story that apparently Lions picked up on. Exactly! Exactly! Who was the writer that they were there was this stooge writer so he's not the guy. Well Segoian's the guy

12:11 He didn't write the article. He's the gal broke the story no, he's he's breaking the story that he was approached by B and he has he was approach and he's published emails then now there are other bloggers who were approached and apparently they probably took money as well to write about this. So, this is great! This is really good. Yeah it's scandalous. How come I wasn't approached? Really where...I know Here's how the meeting went. How about Dvorak? Dude he doesn't even read his email He doesn't he gets no spam and because he doesn't read it. It doesn't read his emails That's the waste of time don't waste the bits on sending Dvorak an email well I think that's a guy in should be praised yes absolutely for blowing the lid off of it began And all the other bloggers who didn't because what you do with these kinds of things of course You don't just approach one person you'd you have a fan you fan it out oh

13:07 Yeah, you read the love and so I do yeah great. That's funny But that was bursting Marsteller they got their tit in the ringer Yeah well and they're big right there. They're huge. Yeah, then they don't just do tech companies They got to do all kinds of stuff. Oh, they do they're the big They're like the hill and no there is a because they are the Hillen Omen So there's another huge PR push which is working extremely well But people are missing out, or really missing the point as to what's happening. And this is about vaccines and normally we leave vaccines until later on in the show now for those of you new to the program We have been doing research and tracking the pharmaceutical companies for years now regarding vaccinations and Of course we all know about the swine flu vaccines

CHAPTER 05 / 46 Discussion

Vaccine Industry, Pharmaceutical Patent Cliffs

The pharmaceutical industry is shifting focus toward vaccines as major drug patents expire, creating a new "bonanza" for investors. Statutory laws and Supreme Court rulings currently protect these companies from being sued for vaccine-related injuries. The discussion suggests that marketing budgets have overtaken research and development, leading to a push for medicating healthy populations.

vaccines· big pharma· patents· swine flu· supreme court

14:00 how the World Health Organization was complicit with the people making money in the back end, owning patents having interest in pharmaceutical companies and these big pharma companies they're all of their big medication is... Their patents are running out and in the next few years so they have to have the next boondoggle. The next bonanza. They would've had more good medicines maybe things that would actually help people but instead they spent all their money on marketing Exactly. And in all of their annual reports and not necessarily the report that is sent to Wall Street, but if you go into any, you know, Sanofi Pushtar or Merck or any these big guys and you want to download the PowerPoint presentation that either their CEO or the COO has given to investment bankers. In that you always see this huge hockey stick curve and well this is our vaccine business it's going to be a bonanza! Why? For multiple reasons one

14:57 This is giving medication to people who aren't sick. So there's a lot more of people who aren't sick than are sick, this is really groovy and it's going to protect you from something they've successfully changed the actual definition of what a vaccine is In addition to that, for vaccinations now there is a statutory law in the books approved by the Supreme Court of these Gitmo Nation United States that does not allow you to sue a pharmaceutical company if you get sick from a vaccine. So they've kind of got everything all teed up beautiful Now, how do we start now of course we need to push this agenda further and further. And there's a new way they're doing it and as it was fascinating to me I was reading about this and wasn't until I saw this woman appear on Fox

15:47 And I looked her up and listened to her story, and oh by the way she's a guest on the show. She has an IFB i.e., an earpiece in while she is discussing this on the show Most guests don't have an earpiece when they appear on the show. I beg to differ Most guests, I said. If they're on the...if she's in studio In studio Okay if she is in studio it's rare. If she's out..out..it was a remote shot they always have an IFD She's in studio, she sitting right across from uh from the desk from the guest host Was there anybody off because that you had to listen too? No no, she's in studio and what happened and didn't notice until I saw her pull it out of her ear because this happens alot

16:36 uh... if you don't either don't set up right and you don't have it on the guest channel only she was probably hearing some crap in the control room it was annoying her while she was talking either that or what they were saying she didn't like this also possible but really when I look at this woman who by the way is hot was a yeah was an engineer gear piece it wasn't custom your couldn't help but couldn't tell um... but he was hot i mean that whenever they got someone fox's heart i mean you gotta be like okay She'll right whenever see what she has to say. Yes, there must be something extremely important So this is a I got to set it up so you because then only will you really understand? What's being said this is she's blowing the lid blew off of this huge scandal We didn't know about apparently the government has been paying victims child victims vaccinations gone wrong millions of dollars quietly

17:33 So they don't cause too much trouble. You with me? Yeah! So what you think she's saying is... These vaccines, you know they're causing autism. It's horrible! You shouldn't take them!" So this is basically one of these... Reverse psychology. Yeah reverse psychology. Sleight of hand lets you start thinking one way and then they drop the bomb on ya'. The message here I believe and I want to listen this clip Johnny tell me especially there are some things in there that she says it really hits home. The message i believe here is vaccine good

CHAPTER 06 / 46 Discussion

Sarah Bridges, Vaccine-Autism Settlement Claims

Dr. Sarah Bridges appeared on Fox News to discuss federal government settlements paid to parents of children who developed autism or neurological issues following vaccinations. While the government officially denies a link, Bridges claims millions are paid out through annuities with non-disclosure agreements. The hosts analyze this as a PR move to frame vaccine injuries as rare genetic anomalies rather than systemic risks.

sarah bridges· autism· fox news· hannah poling· mitochondrial condition

18:12 And actually she says that at the end of the clip, vaccines are great. There is a very small percentage of people who because of their DNA respond in horrible ways to vaccinations and get autism and get all messed up but don't worry! The government will pay you money And this is the message. What is so fascinating about what you'll be announcing tomorrow and what you and the other parents say, The federal government has always said that there is no connection between vaccines and autism though they did have a multi-million dollar payment to one little girl Hannah Poling and they said that her case was so unique because she had underlying mitochondrial condition that did cause autism but it that would never happen again in that was very unique yet

19:00 But you are living proof that in fact they have been paying other parents. How much has your settlement been? Our settlement has been millions of dollars and the way that they do it is there's a lump sum for the child, its not something that parents ever have access to. It is then paid out on an annuity where they figure out the exact life cost for the child over lifetime however let me tell you You know as you're figuring this out, they say helpful things like but a lot of the kids don't live to be very old with disability So she just said just telling you the contract here. This is your only communicate Let me let me point something out immediately right these deals are never done without non-disclosure agreements Of course well then she actually goes into that yeah Yeah, of course I mean She could not even be talking like this

19:47 Right, if they were paying her they would not be paying another nickel. Exactly. Figure it right down to the diaper and it's paid out yearly so as the government was saying all these things that was very baffling to me of a parent of child that the government out on other side of their mouth is saying yes your child is disabled he has autism he has mental retardation seizures and we're gonna pay for his care And see, because the government has never allowed for this connection and in fact they've been quite clear to say that there are no studies that connect autism with vaccines. This in some ways smacks of a cover-up were you ever told to keep quiet? Who is this woman that's on Fox that's doing these dramatic readings? She's reading script! Thank You she's reading the script it's so obvious even said cover up because

20:37 because that's in all it's an uppercase in the teleprompter cover-up emphasize this word about this settlement very routinely we had a lawyer who did these kind of cases regularly and talked about how dicey it was to have a topic like autism come up. And even subsequent to winning the case, and I say winning in quotes You know, the winning came at the expense of a marriage breaking up. Of the other kids going through severe stress and my son finally being placed in a home because he needs around-the-clock care So winning is misleading. But even after that I was told, you know this is an annuity This is something he's not giving She's actually laying out the terms here It's an annuity for every year your kid lives we give you an amount of money Give him his money for life Be careful talking about this Yeah, I'm sure that's what the government said Just be careful talking about this This is an annuity You could stop at any time What bull! Thank you Your best just to feel lucky you've won this case

21:35 And to be quite honest, not knowing other parents who have no access to anybody I had no idea how prevalent this was. Ah ha! Prevalent because everyone can do it Tomorrow you and dozens of other families are taking the bold step even though you had been told to be quiet because the money could dry up for care You're taking the bold step of coming out and making what announcement? Okay, now let's see if she actually says anything here. Making an announcement that the idea that there is no link between vaccines and autism is a complete red herring My child was compensated in 2000... Uh huh! That's a good one It's great isn't it? I love this This hit me so hard Mainly because everyone was sending me these emails saying you know the government has been covering this up No no no no no This is a PR move There are dozens of other cases like this

22:27 And you know we know from something like statistics as soon as we have one exception to what were saying unequivocally, it's not true. This is not true You know certainly there is a risk in parents speaking up some aren't comfortable doing that but frankly being one of the lucky ones I feel real obligation to do that She's one of the lucky ones and understand her kids messed up But she's one of the lucky ones I guess because Lucky was getting cash paid right? And I know that you also want to make the point that you are not anti-vaccine, nor are these other parents. You just want the information to get out there, that there is a risk to vaccines? There's a risk to vaccines! I'm assuming we'll find out like so many things that there is an interaction between genetics and very few number of people... Uh huh. ...and the vaccines. I am very pro vaccine program. I understand public good but there often a few who suffer in context with that. My problem

23:20 problem is not taking care of the children that have been the casualties of this. To me, that is completely immoral." So I looked this woman up Sarah H Bridges guess what she's a doctor at PhD And she's a consultant. Her consulting advice draws on this both sides of the desk experience and is firmly grounded in what works, not just what's possible. Right now we talked about this on the show before which is the ability of some PR agencies or that modern PR agencies which use all kinds of psychological methods and in this case of course as you could tell by some people who wrote in, this whole discussion really got your attention

24:04 and to the point where your brain was receptive to the message late in a discussion, which is that the message was, ah it's got nothing to do with autism and vaccines are good. But there's a secondary thing here at work that I think that is even more subtle which is the message that is genetic somehow. Yes exactly! Which leads us to the dual headed monster of genetic testing and collecting DNA on kids. Cool I can't wait! Me, my kids and Osama Bin Laden all in the gene pool database. So I suspected there was going to be a big genetic... we'll watch this and put it on the predictions. Yeah very good. A genetic testing push some within the next 12 months because you have to do these things within.. if you're gonna bring these PR stunts out you have to do your follow up with some reasonable time You can't wait five years No because the client gets upset if it takes too long. The message is wasted right?

25:05 Well, no the client gets upset because it's taken too long. You know they do need some action Some actual reaction. That's a good find Yeah No It was just like but this is what I love so much is when people send this and they make these automatic presumptions And like you know there's a lot more to this and when you listen to her speak and now know that she's a paid consultant She's paid to go on television shows to talk about stuff for all...I mean I hope well You know, it's horrible if her kid had a terrible adverse reaction. She may not even have a kid for all I know Well then that you then that well That would be if that ever was revealed that would die she has to have a kid There's no way they're gonna let that because the dad ever got something like that got out now It would be uh, you mean there'd be like Facebook hiring a PR firm to slam Google? It'd be worse But yeah something like that

CHAPTER 07 / 46 Discussion

North Carolina Vaccine Bribes, South Park Commentary

A North Carolina school district reportedly offered students a chance to win an iPod as an incentive for getting vaccinated. This leads to a brief tangent about the television show South Park and its recent episode parodying Apple's terms and conditions through a "human centipede" plot line.

north carolina· ipod· south park· apple· terms and conditions

25:57 Oh my goodness, yeah there's a lot of cool stuff going. Just on the vaccine front and a lot of people sent me this as well just so we can get it out of the way North Carolina school district of course everyone's pushing the vaccines and I guess one of the big pharma companies came in with an idea, and they said hey kids if you get vaccinated You can enter a contest for prize to win an iPod The bribe these kids Great And you know the kid like Wow, screw it.

CHAPTER 08 / 46 Discussion

Global Warming, Vegan PR Campaigns

A television commercial for "letsactnow.org" links global warming to dietary choices, specifically targeting meat consumption. Upon investigation, the website mentioned in the ad appeared to be non-functional or a "dead" link. The segment critiques the effectiveness of short-form PR campaigns aimed at changing public behavior regarding climate change.

What can we, what can we do. They don't care about dying they don't care about the earth burning. Wait a minute I've got it! Climate change could disrupt Wi-Fi

CHAPTER 09 / 46 Discussion

Climate Change, Wi-Fi Signal Interference

UK officials, including Environment Secretary Carolyn Spelman, warned that man-made global warming could disrupt Wi-Fi signals due to increased heat and heavy rainfall. The discussion mocks the claim as a desperate PR tactic to make climate change relevant to daily life. Additionally, a Vatican-appointed panel has reportedly issued its own warnings regarding the threat of climate change.

29:28 Oh no! What? Where did you get this one? It's all over the UK press. Climate change will disrupt Wi-Fi connections. OH NO! This book, I can't get this... That I'm like, oh what a great meeting Is that the best they can do? This is actually the rail minister I don't know, it's like they must be getting all the money or something. She warned intense rainfalls drops heat waves in the next 50 to 100 years because of man-made global warming the signal from Wi-Fi cannot travel as far when temperatures increase heavy downfalls of rain also affect the ability of the device to capture a signal

30:17 It's great. Yeah, I guess if it was raining in my house it would be a problem. And the picture of her... How much outdoor Wi-Fi are people using? None that I know of! This is a picture of her with a green denim jacket standing in the field of grass smiling at the camera and she has one of those necklaces on with the big shell beads you know what I'm talking about? What do they call them? It sounds like puka shells to me. Pupa shells? Puka!

Senator Chuck Schumer, Mobile App Restrictions

Senator Chuck Schumer called for the removal of mobile applications from the App Store that alert drivers to sobriety checkpoints, claiming they facilitate drunk driving. These comments occurred during hearings ostensibly focused on the AT&T and T-Mobile merger and mobile security. The hosts criticize Schumer's push for increased regulation of public information and travel.

31:55 I got to play one clip for you and then we can go thank some producers. This is once again it sums it all up, I think this is CNN actually not Fox as usual. Curiously I was listening to CNN mostly this week well that's not curious There was actually a lot of C-Span stuff that I was watching, but it was long tedious and not clippable. Unfortunately Al Franken now Frank got clippable like I heard the franken I didn't clip from Frank and what I said It was non clippable there was clippable stuff in that hearing yeah like you know when you get like what's his name douchebag Sam Schumer

32:33 where he's like, eh... Schumer is a total... I mean that guy is getting worse by the minute. He wants to implement no travel on the train list? Yeah yeah not just that but wait a minute well how do we get no travel on the you know they've you can see that No Fly it's a private company they can you know there's American Airlines they can do whatever they want with their passengers But this is a public service and everybody they want everyone to take public transportation now what happens if you can't get on the train? Well more important is how I get on the bus. You can't get on anything What do you what it could what kind of country is this? What are you, but I mean Do you ever show up for this program

33:14 You know what's happening Schumer was on this panel and he was saying well you know these apps that tell people about sobriety checkpoints they need to be taken down off the App Store yeah because you know they're killing people But it was too long, you know. It's just like for him to get to his point... It wasn't about that! The hearing was about AT&T and T-Mobile getting together so what's Schumer throwing that crap in there for? Hello this is a completely different conference Oh were you watching I was watching the one about mobile security and uh... oh THAT one yeah That was last week, I mean that was last Wednesday. Woah woah what am i thinking? Trying to keep up. I'm so behind the times Anyway here's the lone wolf thing

CHAPTER 11 / 46 Discussion

Lone Wolf Terrorism, Infiltration of Online Groups

Security consultants on CNN discuss the rising threat of "lone wolf" terrorists in the United States who operate outside of organized networks. The FBI and other agencies are reportedly using undercover cyber agents to monitor social media platforms like Facebook for extremist ideology. The discussion references Cass Sunstein's theories on infiltrating online groups to disrupt radicalization.

lone wolf· al-qaeda· fbi· cass sunstein· facebook

34:04 If there is indeed ever to be a no travel by train list, I'm on it. We'll talk about all this Paul What is it that makes these so-called lone wolves different more dangerous more threatening and where do they come from? Well here in the United States this growing extremism... And by the way why do we get this douchebag from another country? is this guy from Britain telling us? Because it sounds, this is why they do it. If it's a Brit then it's oh honey you look awesome hello yeah thanks see me from there I got my camera yes you do if it's a Brit then people take him more seriously he's a security consultant here connected to al-Qaeda in the United States people Al Qaeda

34:46 Al-Qaeda, he sounds like what's his name from the American Idol? Al Qaeda. Simon Cowell...Al Qaeda Inspired by Al Qaeda's ideology He sounds like George Michael to me really Alright let's listen to him We've seen more than 30 cases of Americans and American permanent residents becoming involved in terrorism cases here in the United States in the last two years 30?! Holy crap! Out of 300 million we got 30! I'm gonna do the math on that And with these lone wolves it's very difficult to detect them because they're not part of a group, they're not part of the network. They are not necessarily communicating with other radicals so its very very difficult... So wait a minute! Not part of a group? We aren't communicating with other individuals? Why do you keep saying we?! Are one of these lone wolves going to attack us? Well he is saying they I mean someone has got to respond if he says they then someone has gotta say we

35:37 I might as well. I'm a lone wolf here alone, do my podcast stuff. What the FBI has done for example is look at high-risk individuals and on occasion launch sting operations. Also a number of law enforcement agencies here in the United States have now undercover cyber agents who are actually communicating with these extremists online and trying to assess whether they really pose a threat. This is Sugar Ray Sunstein's whole mission right? That was his whole thing, was we've got to infiltrate the groups... Yeah but he's doing it for political reasons

36:25 He's not doing it to find, you know, terrorists. He is doing it to screw you and everybody else over! Totally, totally. You say you try to identify them what are you looking for? I mean this seems to me where it gets so difficult obviously if we have an ideology like Al-Qaeda's you can go... Al-Qaedas? Al-Kater or Al-Kaders? Al-Kader! How do you call them? Al-Kater? Or how do you call them? Al-Kiter Alright let's listen and see what your looking for how can you identify us as little wolves? Websites who was communicating there but lets face it these lone wolves often are not just radical islam and so if the fbi the cia and you know how does he they're often not just radical islam what kind of sentence is that what is he why is he saying that because he's elliot spitzer in the arena worried about this where else do they begin to look well there's a warning signs online it's often online they're on sort of facebook or other sites their community you're on facebook you terrorist

37:17 I'm kidding with other extremists. It's sort of a virtual echo chamber and if they're interacting with others and some of their rats Don't interact with others kids Rick suggests They may want to try and launch attacks or they're praising other people for launching attacks Or they're watching sort of suicide videos, and they're praising those sorts of videos all of those Great suicide videos. This is all made up I'm doing a like, i'm clicking the like button on that suicide video. We got warning signs and more investigation by the authorities Elliot And of course Paul those who are individuals can act faster than a conspiracy It's just easier for one person to go out and do what he wants and that of course Is one of the great dangers of these lone wolves alright? Yes of course Don't play anymore That's the end of it Of course That's one of the great dangers of these lone wolves Let me make some kind- I want to talk about something before we do that Now that you brought this up

CHAPTER 12 / 46 Discussion

San Francisco Airport Incident, TSA Security Theater

A Yemeni passenger was subdued on a flight to San Francisco after shouting "Allahu Akbar" and attempting to breach the cockpit. The individual was restrained by passengers, including a retired police officer and an Olympic athlete, rather than federal agents. The hosts argue the TSA failed to identify a high-risk traveler with no luggage, illustrating the ineffectiveness of "security theater."

tsa· yemen· allahu akbar· flight security· san francisco

38:05 So we had an incident in the San Francisco Bay Area that's been completely underplayed by the national media. An attempt to bring down an airplane? Yes By a Yemeni nut job who was screaming, Akbaala He's screaming Allah is great. Okay, so let me read from one of the local coverage of this thing. I thought you were going to read from the Quran? It's kind of interesting because nobody wants to bring this up and the Department of Homeland Security all dawned on me after this thing was over what the problem is here

38:41 is that TSA failed miserably to spot this guy. It's a, it's obvious you know what we always have been saying with security theater is what it is it doesn't work but let's read this Elmer Morrissey walked quickly to the front of the plane while shouting Allahu Akbar tried the cockpit door handle then rammed the door with his shoulder prompting a flight attendant to yell I need help now According to witnesses and here's what happens other flight attendants retired San Mateo police officer Larry Wright a retired Secret Service agent in an off-duty American Airlines pilot an Olympic shot put champion And Bill Nieder jumped from their seats, and they beat the crap out of that guy I think not it just happened to be on my flight now the

39:29 Now the funny thing is, this is what happened with the shoe bomber when somebody conked him on the head with a fire extinguisher. It's the public that does the job here it's not these officials and this is a classic example how the government has so screwed up and they keep wanting to lord it over us when they accomplish nothing. And if you remember when we were doing this show in the early days of the Katrina disaster, all these volunteers wanted to get in there and save people and go to their houses and bring their own fleet of boats... No! Step away, you stupid slave! Let FEMA handle it!

40:07 You had that situation and now we have this situation, so now this has been suppressed because it's a bad reflection on TSA. They obviously didn't spot this guy he had no luggage, all the earmarks, he is from Yemen He can't speak English, he got no luggage and no money gets on the plane Well hold on John! Can I just approach this from different angle? So you have all of that, he's on the plane. Coincidentally we have ex-police officer, ex CIA officer and throw in an Olympic shot putter for good measure because that looks cool And you've got a perfect false flag! It's bullcrap it's a setup! It's not a false flag because it wasn't played as such its'a local story how is that a false flag? Excuse me it was a national story it was bunched into three other stories with some guy who was drunk

40:56 the door. Another one where there was a notice found in the bathroom saying there's a bomb on board... I am not seeing NERCY out there talking about this, all i see is they're suppressing the story this is not a false flag. Stand by stand by! They're just waiting for the timing it that's its timing It's too late. The story is old now! Well, then maybe something got messed up? You know stuff happens when there are a lot of douchebags running the show And how does this work into the scheme of things? This doesn't fit into the narrative. The narrative that CSA is going to save us No no no know because the narrative is about the trains now moving away take the train, take the train. I agree with that and i think that's true but i think this is not a false flag this isn't got classic example of the public doing the job at the government so you're telling me okay fine so you're telling me that this douchebag

41:48 from Yemen. And I don't know if he's a douchebag, you know what? When someone says Allah Akbar that can also be... If you consult the book of knowledge on Allah Akbar which i did and it is in the show notes noagendashow.com or nashownotes.com brand new Then Allah Akbar can also be used when someone is frightened, someone is worried. You know if someone's freaking out maybe there was turbulence like Allah Akbar! Allah Akbar and maybe he had to puke maybe he had diarrhea and he thought that was the bathroom I mean it could be anything you weren't on the plane Well you were you said? Allah Akbar The Allah Akbar thing I don't care about. It's just the fact of the matter is right? Well that what everyone is... Oh he was screaming Allah Akbar! But when they scream Allah... But the Egyptian pilot who crashed the 747 into the ocean also yelled Allah Akbar, so was he a terrorist or was he just afraid? Consult the book of knowledge. I don't care about the Allah Akbar you do! Ali Ali Akbar

TSA Diaper Searches, Special Pooper Unit

A viral photograph showing TSA agents searching a baby's diaper sparks a satirical discussion about the "Special Pooper Unit." The hosts mock the invasive nature of airport security screenings and the absurdity of treating infants as potential security threats.

tsa· diaper search· viral photo· security· satire

42:52 Meanwhile we have them patting down a baby. Oh wait, wait a minute... And this guy gets on the plane! I mean let's just assume that your theory is correct there was a false flight This still makes the TSA look like a bunch of douchebags and that is not in the narrative Detective Dookie! I knew we had a reason for that jingle Because it's not the TSA John is the poop police who are checking the babies now and checking in their diapers This is amazing. We live in great times. We even it's

43:30 But the picture that's gone viral of that kid like assuming the position with these two agents, you know putting their fingers in his diaper. It's come on man! That is funny.

Sir Snorterstein, Reindeer Consumption in Norway

Executive Producer Sir Snorterstein provides updates from Norway, leading to a discussion about the cultural practice of eating reindeer in Scandinavia. Personal anecdotes include being served reindeer on a Pan Am flight and dining on specific, named reindeer in Helsinki. The hosts joke about the American public's sensitivity toward eating animals associated with Christmas folklore.

norway· reindeer· pan am· helsinki· northern lights

44:29 we have to find some way of getting out there this you know within the next six years months or so and i will have to ask him when is the northern lights at their best i think it's like i think we just missed a thing which has missed i think his back because he he kept sending me pictures of the northern lights now that they are in the but that disguise life for all i think these pieces get up there with his wife working is extremely hot and i haven't seen a picture but i i got this idea and norwegian women are concerned amongst them died not to not to belabor it. But in the Scandinavian countries including Sweden, everybody says that the Norwegian women are the most beautiful of all of them and the Swedes tell me this! So listen to his life he's got two snowmobiles, a hot wife and shotguns.

45:14 He goes out hunting shooting for polar bear Now reindeer that they eat reindeer. Yeah, oh yeah well we have a tasty by the way We have a standing invitation that I know for sure Yeah, the reindeer is quite good. I've had reindeer and love it It's very tasty in it and they use it for everything They make sausages out of it The first time I ever had reindeer was on a Pan Am flight check this out a pen So this is how long those days are over serving reindeer on an airplane up the pan am but this is when I when my mom would dress me Up with little white gloves and then in a suit to go flying Ray it was like a reindeer kind of hot pocket

45:53 and it was like a snack, it was... Hot Pockets! Reindeer pasty. Yeah that's what I think hot pockets should do a reindeer hot pocket how cool would that be? You know the American public is just there you know they see Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer when they eat it. YOU CAN EAT RUDOLPH?! yeah it's unbelievable mmhmm It's very tasty in Finland when I visited Lugwanderhelm up there I was there once in Helsinki. He took me out to dinner and they, you know they have the whole history of the reindeer. And as I said I want some reindeer and they had the whole name of the reindeer, the farm it came from how old it was...and yeah I think that's much more honest than- Was it Rudolph? It was Blitzen! Who cares? That's Blitzen. Not important reindeer. Second class

Veggies and Yum, Linguistic Rant

A rant against the use of the word "veggies" and the term "yum" in restaurant reviews on platforms like Yelp. The hosts attribute the popularity of these terms to vegan culture and express annoyance at juvenile language used in adult discourse.

veggies· yum· yelp· vegans· linguistics

58:20 So, I was a little...I just want to have a couple of things out of the way before we change topics here. I really have gotten at the point where I detest the use of the word veggies Yeah you've been annoyed by this in the past and quite rightly so because it's not proper use of the word. Well, I mean it's beside the point it's juvenile somebody sent me an email today and they said they had a big list in their words and they threw the word veggies in. And you deleted it? You put them in the spam block- They're blocked! They're blocked! Blocked!!

58:56 because it's just I don't know and the other thing that bugs me, I mean I'm sorry but it brought this to mind is that you go to Yelp and you look up your own restaurants and you start reading these reviews. And some people apparently the only...I don't know maybe it's the only adjective there or not even an adjective? I don't even know what it is but they they it's a declarative. Wait awesome? No yum! Yum? They use the word yum. Just, you know all the food here is you know I ate a hamburger...yum! I did this and that and the other thing...yum! And I did da-da-da-da-da-da...yum! It just drives me crazy can't you see somebody say yum what does that mean it means all these are best in the world but no if you read these people most of them by the way are vegans

59:38 If you read these people that damn vegans horrible people you vegan. I'm telling us the vegans that Why don't we call them veggies and they popularize yum? Let's call them VG's if they want to call vegetables veggies We'll call him VEGIES yummy veges cuz there tasty so there's no clip that goes along with this is just sorry now It's just a minor rant John C Devorah Yes, I understood I totally got it Well, wow yeah there was actually quite a lot going on at the international level. You know we spend so much time on television paying attention to the Arab Spring and everyone wants democracy and we've gotta go we gotta get democracy and we gotta go protest in Times Square but meanwhile Greece is burning

Greek Economic Riots, European Border Controls

Massive riots and strikes are occurring in Athens, Greece, as the country faces economic collapse and austerity measures, yet the events receive minimal US media coverage. Meanwhile, Denmark has decided to re-institute border controls, challenging the Schengen Accord. This move is reportedly driven by immigration concerns and friction between neighboring European nations.

greece· athens· portugal· finland· schengen accord

1:00:34 Greece is burning to the ground. They're not covering Greece better I mean it's like the same thing with a nuclear reactor in Japan nobody's covering the fact that the number one reactor now is just coughing up radiation all over the place but that's much less interesting at this moment to me than Greece and Portugal be when you grow a third head hey, I'm only worth two million according to the government standards You know? I'm okay But yeah, whatever. Greece is burning! Athens is burning! The slaves are revolting! I mean literally they're in the streets that people are being tear gassed this is much bigger and it's more people than we're in Tariq Square

1:01:20 And there's no coverage of it. Nothing! Not a single piece, you know? And there is this huge fight between Portugal and Finland... Of course Finland buckled. You know, Portugal needs to bail out now and Finland said I don't think so or at least some guy who immediately is deemed oh he's like Adolf Hitler yeah The Adolf Hitler of Finland Yeah and oh he's like He's like Hitler man we can't But, and give them a nation lowlands. I mean these people have an austerity program they're hiding in their houses all of Europe the slaves are being screwed like they're nuts or in a nutcracker and it's being tightened up and no coverage increase that out there they are rioting they're burning stuff doctors are striking doctors like sorry you know I'd say this is kind of an issue now we're not going to cover

1:02:18 Because the media has been told, we don't want you to know. We don't want you to know! You cannot know this because then you might do it Well yeah, it's because of the economy too so everyone is scared to death that this could happen anywhere Meanwhile talking about the EU Denmark has decided to re-institute borders Yeah this is the Schengen accord So there was this agreement that, and by the way it's always been bullcrap because I've flown all over Europe. And you always have to show your passport. It never was really instated except Spain interestingly if you flew to Spain or Portugal it was funny you walk right like hey no one is asking to see my passport?

Common, White House Poetry Controversy

Right-wing media outlets, led by Sean Hannity, criticized President Obama for inviting the rapper Common to a White House poetry reading.

1:03:08 because of immigration issues? Well Denmark has, you know they did for the first time in history they put a link between Denmark and southern Sweden with it with the train and car road which is very long. And it's very big this was a huge project was a big deal as first time I've ever done. Mm-hmm. Yeah I've been on the train that's along ways so they go to southern Sweden and southern Sweden has been taken over by Damn them! And they keep coming over to Denmark, you know where all the cute blondes are and causing trouble. Hey hey hey you African...African Muslim lay off our blonds These are our blondes darn it By the way I was just tuning around and one of-and a big news distraction at least on The Right Wing talk shows is this rapper what's his name Commonplace or Commonality? Yeah I saw the story in and i'm like I don't care

1:04:04 But I did care once. I heard this guy by the way used one of our words twice And I'm gonna just play using the word clip and tell me if you can recognize the word Okey-dokey, I believe in inclusiveness but this is abhorrent Yeah abhorrent it's It's a valid word. Has anybody used that before? Well, no... And he used it again like a few minutes later! But what is the uh well it's very possible that he's listening What is the and don't say I don't think so people listen but I don't think he's donating That we can be assured of He's probably a boner and not a donor What um what is the actual controversy about this guy? Oh because he did a rap tune that said kill the cop or something like that

1:04:53 I thought it was kill Bush. No, there was a Bush reference but it was like burning Bush It was hard to really pin it down but as beside the point he was actually in the rap song itself He was talking about what people are talking about and he says we can't be like that To finalize it In other words it was play on killing cops and killing Bush By the way, can I just say one thing? And you should probably take note of it. Although you're excused We don't say rap artists anymore or it's hip-hop Yeah, I know it's a hip hop is what people correct me constantly

1:05:31 So, um... Just want you to be cool. So this guy had this it was just a kind of it was a meta reference It was at least if you looked at the actual song But they made a big deal about it on all the right wing because they had nothing else talk about They didn't wanna talk about the reactor number one in Japan They didn't wanna talk about Greece You're really on about this reactor number 1 in Japan Yeah I think its a big story They didnt wanna talk about Greece They didnt wanna talk about the hearings with AT&T and T-Mobile No no Which is another disaster waiting to happen. Of course not! So they wanted to talk about Obama inviting this guy into the White House for a poetry reading, as though this is the worst thing that's ever happened and Hannity by the way who has turned into the worst of all these guys he is... He's not as bad as Ed Schultz who was the worst talk show guy on all networks because Schultz is just ridiculous and he just seems like an idiot

CHAPTER 23 / 46 Discussion

Condoleezza Rice, Intelligence Community Promotion

Condoleezza Rice appeared on CNN's GPS with Fareed Zakaria to discuss the hunt for Osama bin Laden, crediting the Bush administration for developing the initial leads. The hosts suggest her media tour is intended to bolster the reputation of the intelligence community. The discussion also notes the logical inconsistency in claims that torture was necessary to find bin Laden when couriers were reportedly identified years prior.

condoleezza rice· george w. bush· osama bin laden· torture· cnn

1:06:22 But Hannity cannot get off this, why aren't you thanking George Bush for killing Osama bin Laden? And it's just like ridiculous. And he brought it up again yesterday. You know that's interesting you say that because Condi, Condoleezza Rice is still on the promo tour She's still on the promo tour and I follow a lot of progressive, left-wing liberal websites. And it's great because they have often the same videos and clips that we have except they have completely different take on it

1:07:00 And so everyone is in the liberal, not that we're right-wing by the way. But everyone in the liberal leftist progressive vibe is saying that Condoleezza Rice is now out there promoting the fact that Bush had a lot to... you know it's all because of Bush. Bush! Bush! Bush! I think it's something else and this interview she did with... This is uh.. The guy who has the GPS show on CNN, is he Indian or Pakistani? I don't know what he is. But his show was called GPS which is like dude you know this that what a stupid name for a show nobody watches it why don't you call your show Coffee Maker or something like that GPS listen to what she said I think there's something else going on here President Obama did say that the capture of killing bin Laden wasn't top priority when he took office and moved it to a top priority

1:07:52 What's your reaction? Oh, it was a top priority. We wanted to get Osama bin Laden every single day and there was a unit at the agency that worked on nothing else and I remember actually when Mike Hayden told President Bush that they had discovered this courier and that he had a brother. And we began to hear some of the details about it, and they went on his trail. It took this long but in fact these leads developed quite a long time ago The agency and the military then acted on them. There's one other thing-the capacity of our military and our intelligence

1:08:28 agencies to fight in this integrated fashion is something that developed over a long period of time starting in Afghanistan and 2001. So I think what she's saying or maybe this is what the issue She's been sent out on the promo tour to promote the Secret Service. I think for some reason either they don't feel like they're getting propped enough or The Secret Service? Yes, our intelligence services Well that's not the secret service. No, I'm sorry. I'm sorry the intelligence services and the intelligence community and

1:09:04 And that the... They're not getting props enough? That's all we see on TV. No, no, no! That's not true it's like the Navy SEALs and it's like men and women in uniform that's not true John these are the.. no I don't know I think it's something... Aren't they not supposed to get credit as part of their job?! Yes but that's not that's not the point why is Condoleezza Rice out promoting this And by the way, the courier had a brother. So I guess that's going to pop up pretty soon. Here is the logical inconsistency here by the way You have this courier who knew who it was back when and they have a brother who knows him back then Meanwhile they are pushing an idea...I think it's a mistaken concept I don't know why they're doing because I think its humiliating They are pushing the idea that torture works Why didn't they just grab the guy and torture him?

1:09:55 Because he had a package to deliver He was got the guy they know who it is. They have to wait ten years He was doing that and torture works grab the guy torturing say where book bin Laden isn't go shoot him Yeah, I mean wear some weed. I mean come on deliver though. They're gonna torture that we would this is logical inconsistency now We're starting to hear than an ISI guy turned over the information And we're hearing all these other covers you know It's fantastic great big show however John not quite as big as And now, back to Real News.

CHAPTER 24 / 46 Discussion

Eurovision Song Contest, Political Rigging

The Eurovision Song Contest semifinals have concluded, with France, Iceland, and Serbia among the finalists. The hosts speculate on which country "needs" to win for political or economic reasons, suggesting Iceland or Ireland might receive a boost. They compare the contest's voting patterns to other fixed international events.

eurovision· iceland· ireland· france· turkey

1:10:38 It's that time of year when presenters compete with over-the-top television production and viewers cringe and criticize musical cultural differences. Yes, it is the Eurovision Song Contest! The first of two semifinals having been completed we now know 10 of the countries set to compete in Saturdays final Russia will be joined by 9 others including Serbia and Azerbaijan Under the rules five countries qualify automatically Italy Spain France to UK and this year's host Germany Iceland was the last to get through in the first batch of qualifiers. A second semi to select a further 10 countries will be held on Thursday and for Eurovision addicts, the current betting has the French contribution sung in Corsican as favorite So of course this is also completely rigged who do you think it's gonna win John? Who needs the win the most? Who needs... Sung in Corsican?! Yeah that's awesome

1:11:36 Give me the finalists again. Well, it's all this doll... It's Europe! Yeah I know but what country? French are the favorite we have got Iceland we know Holland never wins well that's not true they have won but they're the worst Iceland could use a win go on who else? I don't know I mean someone needs to point Greece no there's no mention of them but just the favorites doesn't mean that that's what No, I'm not looking for the fears. I'm looking for the country that they want to give it to make them feel better Right now...I don't know! I mean, I have not done the research yet but we have to...we're near the semi-final so we gotta like hurry up and get our predictions in which country needs to win the most? How about Turkey? Is Turkey still on...they're still slated to join the EU So... Nah, they won't give it to them No

1:12:27 Now I think Iceland is, they brought him in at the end so they got a special mention because they're their last ones to get in. Right right. That may be a key. They need a little boost because they got screwed? Yeah and then there also fighting with you know... They don't want to pay their money back and maybe this will help. How about Ireland? Ireland needs some, needs a little boost. Is Ireland into finals? I do not know if they are into finals Well they just mentioned who the five were! I wasn't listening! But this does bring me to another scandal which, gee I think we talked about this ad nauseum as a... By the way as i called the winner of the World Cup football We knew it was very easy to deduct who was going to win because all of this is fixed. It turns out John did you know that uh..it's fixed! Have you been following the FIFA scandal?

CHAPTER 25 / 46 Discussion

FIFA World Cup, Qatar Bribery Scandal

Allegations of widespread bribery within FIFA have surfaced regarding the selection of Qatar for the 2022 World Cup. Testimony in the UK Parliament suggests several committee members requested cash, knighthoods, or funding for personal projects in exchange for their votes. The hosts link Qatar's selection to its geopolitical role in the Arab Spring and Al Jazeera's influence.

fifa· qatar· world cup· bribery· jack warner

1:13:17 Well, no but we knew it was fixed. Rigged is the word. But now it's out in the open and they have testimony and hearings going on And when it comes to choosing the country for the World Cup, which by the way we now know of course is for the 2012 cup is Qatar. Coincidentally, the country that runs Al Jazeera, the country that is cooperating with NATO allies in the Arab Spring. They are helping the rebels take oil from Libya

1:13:55 So Qatar, who of course got this huge payoff by receiving the World Cup. Turns out the judges, the guys who vote on this very much like the International Olympic Committee were all taking bribes for their votes One bribe caught my attention in particular Five months ago The FIFA president set blatter revealing the winners and losers in Zurich England were losers of course, but Lord Treasman made a series of explosive allegations to a committee of MPs today about the activities of four of the 22 men who voted. Trinidad and Tobago's Jack Warner – The man Treisman claims asked for two-and-a-half million pounds to build a school that would house his own officers Paraguay's Nicolás Leoz who Treisman says asked for a knighthood Dude

CHAPTER 26 / 46 Discussion

Bitcoin Implementation, Virtual Currency Debate

One host describes successfully implementing Bitcoin for show donations and purchasing real-world goods like coffee and shampoo. While one host views it as a virtual equivalent to the gold standard that bypasses central bank corruption, the other remains skeptical, viewing it as a "grey market" scheme that could attract IRS scrutiny. The debate covers the technical limits of Bitcoin circulation and the move toward a paperless economy.

bitcoin· cryptocurrency· gold standard· irs· barter

1:14:45 It's only a thousand bucks will give you knighthood here on the show. Yeah, well knighthoods are inexpensive. I mean this is where you want to be for knighthoods man This is where it this is where its at and just as valid. Hell yeah! Its just as valid. I wanted to talk about something else John. Um...this actually ended the last show with about Bitcoin Yeah, Bitcoin. No Wow you already have the oh yeah big time Oh, yeah So I've been doing I did the work I did the investigations And I have actually implemented it and I have to say it's pointer. I'm a bit coiner I am as I was a bit curious. I'm a bit curious male and

1:15:28 And I have to say, I'm liking it. Why? Well because in essence you know I am a gold nut and love me the gold. I think that this is really is a virtual equivalent of gold and can be used as money standard Here's the test that I implemented. I said hey you guys want a daily source code? I need 100 bitcoins which by the way, todays exchange is $500. I need 100 bitcoin in my Bitcoin account and i'll do a daily source code. And then I turned so...I got that! I got more than 100 Bitcoins and I've turned around and ordered some real products coffee

1:16:08 Shampoo. Well, I mean, I wanted some real world products that haven't been delivered yet but... Can you get some tomatoes? You know, I think that this is the only so let's just presume and all the experts have kind of weighed in That the system works as described and it's a and it's pretty much invulnerable to To corruption certainly the type of corruption that Ben Bernanke and little Timmy Geithner there propagate with you know printing money As long as I can, the ultimate of course is that I can buy food and pay rent with it. But there are certain products like coffee and shampoo that I need and as long as I can provide value get some bitcoins turn around and use that on real world products I think it works! I have to say I'm a believer more people got to get in and start using it And you know of course It'll come to head somewhere because yeah, I'm sure paying taxes with it will be your problem

1:17:07 coffee and shampoo? Well that's the start. It's a start but it's really interesting because the way these coins are created about 50 are created every 10 minutes, it's very hard to make them although our no agenda lots of our producers out there could probably be generating coins cuz you need like a whole data center full of nitrogen cooled Liquid nitrogen cooled processors to create bitcoins But I you know what here's my experiment will remain valid every week as long as I get a hundred bitcoins. I'll do a daily source code and as long as I can keep using the Bitcoins For it to buy real-world products stuff that I normally spend dollars on it works, I mean nothing wrong with that I think you should take a look at it John

1:17:55 I really do. Yeah, okay. Well yeah, I'll take a look at it. Why are you so... Are you negative? Or are you being sarcastic or are you being...? I'm both! Why?! I don't see the benefit. Well, the benefit is... what if every... salt has been used in history as payment. Anything can be used as a... Right! There you go that's my point so isn't that beautiful though or do you like the dollar? I just don't like idea of it. I mean i thought there was a good reason we got away from private monetary systems but grey market systems because they are corrupt more corruptible. So let's just say this is not corruptible

1:18:33 That's what that's the beauty of it. Well, you haven't done any research because your elite I haven't done any cuz I Gave up on this with the beans and the other but this is different This it's it's really different You have to take a look at this And was it different than what Ron Paul was trying to do with there or they those Ron Paul supporters with the Ron Paul coin? They got all thrown in jail Because no good with the Bitcoin you can't just make them That's the beauty of the system It's just as hard as like mining for gold. You know, it's very expensive and if you don't have the right system There's like six million in circulation The total max that can ever be put in circulation is 21 million which won't be reached until the year 2160 but there's also eight decimal spots in the currency so you can start divide subdividing it almost indefinitely But you can't just go out and make coins This is why it's different. It's not

1:19:28 currency that you can go print or mint somewhere. This is what makes it very different, as a techno expert... I'll tell you this for one thing i do not like the idea of the movement to virtual money where you don't actually have something in your hands like a silver coin I'm not a big fan of that either. Because it's leading to the future of paperless money, you know? Of this virtual... You won't be able to get around and buy anything without a card. Well, I see it differently. I see it more as a barter system

1:20:05 This is a real throwback to the days of salt or water systems are you know essentially the IRS doesn't like them, right? I'm not gonna have anything to do with it. Well that's that should tell you enough the IRS doesn't like him because You know it's great and he said just say well The IRS stinks and I would like to bypass them And I don't I'm gonna set up shop in the Cayman Islands. I'm gonna do this and that to avoid paying any taxes whatsoever saying that oh No, I'm just saying that the IRS sees everything as a scheme to avoid tax paying and when these schemes crop up. I'm...I avoid them! I just uh... Because you don't want an audit? Don't want an audit?! I don't want to deal with it! You got something to hide? No, I've got nothing to hide but what I do have is... Ohhhh! Nothing to hide! See something! See something! I think your suspect! My time!

Joe Biden, High-Speed Rail Satire

A clip of Vice President Joe Biden appearing intoxicated during a speech is followed by a satirical report from The Onion. The parody suggests the Obama administration is replacing its national high-speed rail plan with a "high-speed bus" plan to save billions in recovery budget funds.

joe biden· the onion· high-speed rail· recovery act· transportation

1:20:54 I've been audited so many times it doesn't matter. My my anal cavity is that you could drive a truck through there with these crazy ideas but i'll look into it so i won't be so bigoted yeah, I just want to...I don't mind if you're against it but and I would have hoped you had looked into it a little bit but that's uh.. I didn't bother but I do have a funny clip trying to make up for it okay what you got the Biden clip all right you mean oh biden Biden I was back here on February the 11th to welcome home members of third infantry brigade Combat team Afghanistan 155 you got off that plane in middle of night No, there's more exciting seeing getting off is watching your families watch y'all get off

1:21:38 For our listeners outside of the United States of America, that was funny. He also sounds drunk! He is drunk all the time why do you think he's falling asleep everywhere? That's why he takes a train yeah that's right hey by the way The Onion guys had a great one about high-speed rail and in case you didn't catch it I love these guys President Obama announced changes to his proposed Recovery Act today, replacing his national high-speed rail plan with a national high speed bus plan. The switch to the new buses which cruise at speeds of up to 165 miles per hour will save more than 17 billion dollars from the country's recovery budget. In a press conference today Project Director Alan Peterson called the plan

1:22:23 efficient way of cutting travel times in half. They did a good job on that stuff, man. That was really good. Somebody was pointing out... I was thinking about the high-speed rail bullcrap and the whole rail thing. Hold on a second then as long we're getting to it let's get into it where is the oh my god here we go All aboard trains good planes bad

CHAPTER 28 / 46 Discussion

Train vs Bus, Transportation Inefficiency

A comparison of travel costs reveals that taking a train from Philadelphia to New York or San Francisco to Seattle is significantly more expensive and slower than taking a bus or a plane. The hosts argue that for rail to be viable, it must compete with bus pricing rather than airline pricing. They question the logic of high-priced, inefficient rail systems in the Western United States.

amtrak· acela· bus travel· infrastructure· seattle

1:23:02 I was reading some article, somebody's moaning about this whole thing and they pointed out that taking a cella from I think it was Philadelphia to New York or something like that. And they decided the price is like 110 bucks or some 140 dollars to take the train and its like... The bus is 15 dollars Now, I was thinking about it and the bus is an inefficient product compared to a train which is on rails. Of course the train is empty so not necessarily on the East Coast but especially in the West Coast if I want to take a train from San Francisco to Seattle which I can drive in about 11 hours It would take me 24 hours on the train and it would cost me more money than it would cost to take the plane, which is one of the reasons we think this all is bull crap. But if they were pricing that trip to Seattle at let's say $40

1:23:58 Go to Seattle for 40 bucks and speed it up a little bit, drop some of the... so maybe it took about 12-15 hours to get there. I'd probably be going up and down the coast a lot! It just seems to me that's not gonna happen for $40 obviously Well if you can do a bus trip for 15 bucks, I don't understand how you can't get the train If the train prices have to be less than the bus prices, not the airplane prices but the bus prices which are dirt cheap. Well, Secretary of Transportation Ray LaHood in LaHood baby he tipped his hand on another fine program I watch as much as possible It's Morning Joe everybody!

CHAPTER 29 / 46 Discussion

Ray LaHood, Northeast Corridor Rail Funding

Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood announced that federal rail funds rejected by Florida and Wisconsin will be redirected to the Northeast Corridor. The hosts argue this funding primarily benefits politicians and elites commuting between Washington D.C., New York, and Boston. LaHood's comments also reveal that the infrastructure improvements are heavily tied to the interests of "freight rail friends."

ray lahood· morning joe· high-speed rail· florida· freight rail

1:24:41 So morning Joe is without a doubt the elitist program in the universe of course that whole what's that girl's name Malika Leticia? What's her name? Brzezinski Brzezinski his daughter as co-hosts of the show yeah, so no so LaHood is on and he's doing an energy or because you saying well That money that Florida rejected near was giving it to other people. So you kids didn't want our lollipop We're giving the lollipops two other kids me And here's the memes, or here is his hand tip really. Trains are safe. Trains are only for elites And it's really for freight. All in one little handy clip!

1:25:37 I, it's either compound mansion house hiding place you know no one uses the same word. Well somebody they should use the right word which is hellhole. Piece of crap shantytown compound compound looking at the possibility of targeting passenger trains is there anything else you can tell us about that? Boy, this is a really sharp journalistic question set up right right in front like all right Here's what you do You lay out the whole shooting knows Simon Schumer thing Right out in the bat and I'll just deal with that real quick and they'll move on to the real agenda Okay ask the question. Here's the answer well look at we're gonna look at the information from bin Laden's house and see what's in there and see if they're

1:26:20 were any threats that they were thinking about. Oh, we don't know if there are any threats apparently. ...trains but and we'll work with Congress on this... We'll buy them off! I'd say this morning you know what we need to really look at the information carefully and just see if there are any threats for... Oh, we haven't looked at the information John it's not true Well that doesn't make sense everybody has been telling us that they've gone over this with their fine-tooth comb Noooo! We have to look at the information to find out if its truee It's not true. It's not happening, not with my train. You know there should be one script Yeah well unfortunately you know we got a lot of writers there in Washington now uh Riding trains is safe based on what you've seen and what you've heard over the last week Wait wait maybe I should say I ride the train it's safe encourage people to continue using the train absolutely I took the train here last evening. Oh yeah? I took the train

1:27:10 from Washington DC. But you know they have the dogs. big announcement which I think will be very exciting to a lot of people who do use the trains. Well we're announcing today that the money that came back to us from Florida, that was refused from Florida is going to spread around the country but most importantly it's gonna be used here in the Northeast Corridor. Okay now this is very important because I finally figured out

1:28:06 All this money, all these high-speed trains is only for the fricking politicians who want to get from Boston to New York and their place in the Hamptons. It's not about any other person and the rest is all about freight! The whole thing John is about giving more room for these elitist dicks like this guy and making that trains go twenty miles an hour faster. That's what all of this is about. ...except tracks, uh... and to get to higher speeds in the Northeast Corridor which members of congress have been asking us about we've already put eleven billion dollars out over the last two-and-a-half years This 2 billion will actually go to fix up infrastructure and buy new equipment And it's a great announcement It will really deliver people in a much quicker way

1:28:49 And it'll be done. I love that, it will deliver people in a much quicker way to the FEMA camps But you know what I'm saying? It's like the Congress is asking for the Northeast Corridor. They want faster trains to get their ass back and forth from home to Washington! Yeah, because they all commute from those areas now... The freight thing is coming up though it's very interesting Pretty quickly we're not talking about 10 years We're talking about over the next few years that we're going to get people on trains that are safe convenient and will go a little bit faster so you're talking Bob Boston, New York down to Washington. What does that mean exactly? How fast can we... If you want to produce the show, you can start and stop. You're interrupting the clip at every sentence I want to get the gist of it! I'm telling you the gists! 150-160 miles an hour. ASL goes what right now? 125-130

1:29:43 A little higher in some places, but average that's about it. But it is also going to make investments in upstate New York. We're going to take and make investments all the way to the state capitol. Exactly! Thank you very much. All the way to Upstate New York where all of the elites have their country homes. Buffalo, Rochester... And our goal is to go the way all the way to the Canadian border so that people really do have access and then all the way south, all the way to the Carolinas. We just signed agreements with our freight rail friends. Oh! Freight Rail Friends in North Carolina So people are really going to have good access to very convenient trains that they can afford There you go The guy's an idiot You know he blew it when he said that Yeah we made deals with our freight friends

1:30:32 Of course, it's all about the freight. And no it'll be about the freight and the trains that they're gonna be running that have passenger service will obviously just for those you know... For the elites! Probably guys who work in Washington DC Meanwhile the Florida thing of course The guys rejected because they did the math like I think Wisconsin did the same thing Yeah like five states They said yeah you can give us money then we're going to go broke maintaining the rail beds cause were gonna be responsible for that Which is the joke of it Yeah, hilarious. I think it might also be done because i think you know the places where they were they got rejected like Wisconsin and Florida and there are probably some other ones we don't know about those are places that are run by Republicans who they knew would reject it and they probably may gave him the deal saying here's what we're gonna offer you and you're gonna have to do this and so we can't do that we can afford

John C. Dvorak, See Something Say Something Ringtone

A custom ringtone featuring John C. Dvorak's voice is presented, mocking the "See Something, Say Something" campaign. The audio suggests that staying home to record a podcast is "suspicious behavior" that should be reported to authorities. The segment satirizes the culture of neighborhood surveillance promoted by the Department of Homeland Security.

1:31:25 Knowing that we're gonna reject because there's no reason to put high-speed rail from Milwaukee to Madison I mean, there's just no reason for it. It's just ludicrous and you know So they would rejected out of hand but I think is so they could point the finger and can get four negative Political points to these Republicans who rejected the free money Look what? They're doing next for giving their one of them free give him free money. They don't want to take it Yep someone sent in a ringtone of you John A ringtone, a John C. Dvorak ringtone What am I just going... I don't remember but i have it uh... Queued up? Queued up and its like if you want to uh... John C. Dvorak ringtone start your recorders now. Well ya know he didn't leave the house in two days says he's doing some sort of a podcast is pretty suspicious if you ask me

1:32:17 That needs to be attached to you should play it again, but attached to see something say something. Oh wait a minute Yeah, so hold on this is a mega ringtone So people can but we said boy the payoff is see something say something right right okay? Let's try it again. Wow You know he didn't leave the house in two days Says he's doing some sort of a podcast. It's pretty suspicious if you ask me. If you see something, say something! I'm gonna show my support by donating to No Agenda Imagine all the people who could do that Oh yeah that'd be fab! On No Agenda In the morning

Craig Peters is officially knighted as "Sir Craig Peters, Knight of the No Agenda Roundtable" for his cumulative donations exceeding $1,000. He is also designated as a Black Knight. The hosts describe the fictional perks of the roundtable, including "hookers and blow," as a reward for high-level production support.

So

AT&T CEO, Skype Innovation Claims

AT&T CEO Randall Stephenson testified before Congress that the Microsoft-Skype merger and the AT&T-T-Mobile merger would drive innovation in "wireless operating systems." The hosts debunk these claims, explaining that Skype's primary innovation is a closed-loop Wi-Fi connection system rather than a mobile OS. They argue that the mergers are monopolistic moves intended to stifle smaller competitors.

1:40:58 and the rest of the show is mostly material, and then we try to bring you insight that you can't get elsewhere for some reason. I don't know why...I mean if everyone did this we wouldn't be doing it And we hope that you would appreciate that and keep supporting the show because you, the audience is what pays for this show. Yes and of course we have noagendastream.com which has a never growing list of producer produced shows from the audience itself which is running 24-7. And the brand new Show Notes system. Show notes have always been big part of the show it's great research resource And we have the new site, nashownotes.com and now added to the mix by the time you listen to this program on the podcast, you can go to 303.nashownotes.com it will take you right to the show notes has everything that we discussed and more.

1:41:47 So all the stories that we've prepped for you, that we just didn't get to or weren't relevant to the conversation whatever since John and I kind of do this on the fly. But also all of the clips, all of the assets right there in handy format and it's also all structured in XML data so you can search it, you can download the entire file. And you know what? I put a lot of work into that but it's kinda cool because I can multitask now while watching C-SPAN So watch C-SPAN and I'll be working on the system at the same time. It's kind of because C-SPAN is you know watching C-SPAN is like watching paint dry Well talking about C-SPAN, I do have a few clips here

1:42:32 I've tried to keep these short. There's one long one that, oh actually the AT&T CEO in the future is not to be played. I sent it you by accident. That was the CEO of AT&T going on and on about some technology. I'm sending it to a guy who is one of the top networking characters in the country to have him fact check the bull crap that the AT&T guy said. Well if you want to hear bull crap from AT&T, listen to this bull crap about Skype when the AT&T CEO Stevenson is like going on about innovation and how becoming guys that own the whole place will be better for everybody because it's gonna increase innovation somehow even though we know that's bull

1:43:16 But listen to this, nobody calls him on this because apparently nobody that's in Congress knows anything. OSes you're seeing Microsoft with new OS and don't forget or don't miss the importance of what you read yesterday, of Microsoft buying Skype. They run a very important wireless operating system that they have developed combining that with a voice over IP capability now this is going to be a very exciting and dynamic manifestation here we're seeing applications hit the market at hundreds of thousands at a pace being downloaded billions of times and so when I stop and just think about this kind of innovation cycle by virtue of T-Mobile and AT&T combining.

1:43:57 Okay, he sounds like a wireless operating system. Are we talking about that Skype has invented? Well I don't know what it is but it's not gonna work with global warming none of that shit's gonna work brother It's all gonna go to crap. I would like to know could somebody said in the chat room tell me what this Wireless operating system is that skype has innovated that is also combined yes over IP well no I think What he's saying although it has nothing to do with an operating system That is bullcrap Skype has a built-in feature That when you're an airport or other public places where there's public Wi-Fi available You can actually Get on that Wi-Fi with your Skype account and with your Skype Your Skype monies that you have in your Skype account. They have kind of like a closed loop system, and it's fairly automatic I've seen this happen It's quite amazing when you open your laptop if Skype is running Skype will detect the network Of course you have to have your Wi-Fi on it'll detect the network

1:44:54 up and say, well would you want to connect to this network and make calls? And then they charge some nominal fee for it. I think that's what he was talking about. Oh! Thanks for clarifying this. Well I got a letter from the president of AT&T You know, we've had... We have AT&T because that's just what we've been using and it has gotten really bad recently up here in the hill on the Hilltop Watchtower Command Center. And you know its like I actually had to open a Google Voice account because it was no longer reliable. I mean I would miss text messages that is worst actually people who call me tough

CHAPTER 34 / 46 Discussion

Cell Service Outages, HAARP and Seismic Activity

Widespread cell service dropouts and atmospheric interference are attributed by the hosts to potential HAARP activity. The discussion touches on a recent earthquake in Spain and a false prediction of a major quake in Rome that caused residents to flee the city. The hosts note a general increase in global seismic activity according to USGS monitors.

at&t· haarp· earthquakes· spain· rome

1:45:32 But, you know my daughter texts usually. My daughter will actually result to tweeting saying hey answer my text message and that's like reboot the phone and sound like completely crap I get the letter from AT&T from the president yes we are upgrading in the California area i hope the upgrades are going well for ya how insulting is that? And it has gotten worse because they're moving all of the antennas around AT&T blows. The whole cell system blows, everything sucks and now we'll only have two guys to compete and the ham operators can't even communicate. Were you on? Did you have your ears on this week John? I had my... no i was watching C-SPAN. Well you should put your ears on because there's some kind of atmospheric crap going on and the ham guys can't communicate

1:46:26 Oh, that's interesting because that might explain some of the crazy dropouts I've been getting when i was watching the CNN reportage. Well you know what they say... It was like clear skies beautiful out there is nothing going on it wasn't storming and I was getting a lots of digital failure well you know what they say its from? Tell me! Yeah, Harp! Of course No, the harp activity is crazy. Well they had a little earthquake in Spain Yeah and it was of course it was predicted in Rome which was quite hilarious I guess some you know that somebody it was like uh It was probably on Snopes Propagated through Reddit its true Some guy predicted In his manuscript that there would be A big earthquake in Rome yesterday And people were leaving Rome

1:47:20 Which is great. They were leaving Rome, but then of course it hit in Spain It was bad like a minute yeah Yeah, they missed the target, but I was looking at the USGS seismic Monitors page and there's a lot of seismic activity going on. I mean just everywhere it's like Stuff is off the chart. It's really who knows um Let me do this real quick. Shadow Puppet Theater! Because otherwise we'll miss it and get to the end of the show, and then forget about it So there were two shadow puppet theater announcements this week One was very clear And the other one not so clear The first one is Meredith Atwell Baker She was a FCC commissioner She actually helped

CHAPTER 35 / 46 Discussion

Meredith Atwell Baker, FCC Revolving Door

FCC Commissioner Meredith Atwell Baker is leaving her post to become a lobbyist for Comcast, just months after voting to approve the NBC Universal-Comcast merger. The hosts cite this as a blatant example of the "revolving door" between government regulators and the industries they oversee, despite administration promises to curb such practices.

meredith atwell baker· fcc· comcast· nbc universal· lobbying

1:48:13 shuttle through the NBC Comcast, NBC Universal Comcast deal and well guess what? She's now leaving and she's going to become a lobbyist for Comcast. Yeah we got a lot of notes on that one Isn't that amazing? Isn't that great. This wasn't gonna happen with this Obama administration, they promised a revolving door bullcrap you know your regulator you give these guys the wink-wink nudge-nudge I vote yes yeah you're all fired! Yeah and she looks like a douchebag too just give her a douchebag

1:48:53 with a Hillary coat, but it's the wrong color. She has to have one of those Hillary red things on but its not quite the right color you know she got at the cheaper store they've got like kind of the Hilary Duh going on and everything these people make me sick to my stomach because you know that this is a payoff its a total pay off he just sat there and helped get this deal through which was probably no good for us and uh... none of that does not know this is good for us to appreciate the show that were producing his shows not gonna last now because we're going to take it off the air i can see assure you yeah way when i have one more shadow puppet theater well actually there was two things one as a sheila bears going to leave the fdic on july eight though that will be her last day uh... she'll bear of course is uh... you know was was supposed to be on the lookout for us when she was at the sec

CHAPTER 36 / 46 Discussion

US Postal Service, Military Personnel Shifts

The US Postal Service reported a $2.2 billion loss, which the hosts argue is a result of government bookkeeping maneuvers rather than actual operational failure. Meanwhile, Robert G. Taub, a former Army official, has been appointed to the Postal Regulatory Commission. The hosts speculate this move integrates the postal service into the national intelligence and surveillance apparatus.

usps· sheila bair· robert taub· surveillance· bookkeeping

1:49:43 And by the way, she has one of those pooper necklaces on with like boulders. I mean it's like huge rocks on this necklace and these are shells you say? No these are like shiny rocks not like diamonds but like you know...I can't see how she can keep her head up by the way She must be walking with a like a like Quasimodo this thing is so big So we have to see where she turns up We gotta keep our eye on Sheila Bear Shes' a total elitist douchebag Now this is the one that was not so obvious. So first of all, the US Postal Service is in big trouble They posted a 2.2 billion dollar net loss I don't see how you can... it seems really simple No, I talked about this with Horowitz and we talked about this on the show before because we had some testimony and I think came from C-Spend that shows us the post office actually making money Oh really?

1:50:42 Yeah, they're actually making money and the reason they have this two billion dollar loss is because a bunch of the profits that they normally make go into the general fund and they get to bill from the government which is higher than what they do make so they come in at a loss constantly. They keep having to jack their prices up but there's number... if people look into this they'll find out that it's just bookkeeping bull crap that gives them this big loss. They're not losing money! Oh really? Interesting Well, the shadow puppet theater move here which is not really shadow puppet Is that the president made a lot you know when there's turmoil and lots of stuff going on and we're all really interested in pictures of Osama bin Laden's eye blown out then you got to be very wary and watch stuff

1:51:31 There's a lot of personnel changes that were announced. A lot of judges I don't know, I just have the time to follow up on these judges being oh yeah No they're gonna slip it past us right but he also announced the appointment of Robert G Taub as commissioner of the Postal Regulatory Commission and this guy was the He was an assistant secretary to the army And I thought that was really an interesting move And it's one of two things. Either the army needs to be wary because a lot of guys are going to go postal and start killing people, or maybe we're turning the postal system into an arm of the Army. Well it could be an arm of the intelligence arm of the Army

1:52:17 because they you know the see something say something requires postal workers to now be on the lookout for suspicious behavior so they're essentially now going to be which is probably the reason you want to cough up the negative two billion dollars to give them more money so they won't, think on the fact that they're now just walking spies or essentially cops on the beat when they're delivering mail. That would be my guess. That's not, I'll take that one Of course we have the see something say something jingle and someone pointed out to me on email that we really should be able to sell this to the Department of Homeland Security and $50,000 may be low-balling considering they pay 18 million dollars for a website. Turns out one of our producers did some work and he says hey that's see something say something they actually stole that themselves! This is not original thought

CHAPTER 37 / 46 Discussion

Starship Troopers, See Something Say Something Origin

The "See Something, Say Something" slogan used by the Department of Homeland Security is revealed to have appeared in the film Starship Troopers 3. The hosts compare the government's current public service announcements to the satirical, fascist propaganda depicted in the movie franchise. They mock the idea of citizens receiving "big fat rewards" for reporting on their neighbors.

starship troopers· homeland security· janet napolitano· propaganda· satire

1:53:13 See something say something comes from a 2008 episode of Starship Troopers 3 and I think you know wait hold on a second starship troopers had an episode. I thought it was just one No, no they had three it was an entire So you had three of those movies about the bugs? They had to recoup somehow. I guess they sold... That movie was the worst! Yeah, it's horrible. So I guess they re- The producers recouped their money by selling See Something Say Something to Lucy Napolitano Have a listen Federal council members were called together today By Sky Marshal Enoki for his weekly report How are ya doing sir? Good to see you Then Disaster

1:53:59 a bomb carried by a member of the Ghana Peace Coalition explodes. Among the missing, Sky Marshal Anoki and his loyal aide General Dix Hauser Each and every one of us has been attacked By a man who would demand peace at all A man who calls himself a citizen He is no better That man is Elmo Gonniff, a self-proclaimed pacifist turned terrorist. And today he and other members of the Gonniff Peace Coalition are wanted in connection with the council bombing. And hey citizen you can help! Know your neighbors? Take another look citizen

1:54:50 You could be living next door to a big fat reward. If you see something, say something! Would you like to know more? So I'm waiting for the commercials from Lucinda Palitano that says Hey citizen, you could be living next door to a big fat reward! That's a great catch Hey everybody hey citizen hey citizen you can be living next door to a big reward If you see something, say something. Hey citizen! You gotta work on it still. I don't think you're working on it... I don't have time! I'm watching C-SPAN and programming the news network! I think you should at least spend a couple of hours with a bunch of videos or a bunch of those things that you like to watch. Yeah but just a couple hours? I don't have a couple hours! Well you like to watch the Obama speech in their weekly address while you're watching it

1:55:43 follow the cadence and you're gonna watch it anyway. When I see something say something that's what you're telling me right here yeah if you see Obama, say Obama! Okay... I really want to do it. Believe me, the only reason why I keep pushing is because you sound exactly like him for that one moment not only that but I look exactly like him It would be perfect. That was the first question Maynard asked yesterday He said, so how you doing with your Obama impersonation? Like really. Hey citizen! You could be living right next door to a big fat reward if you see something say something hey citizen yeah I gotta work on it but i will work on it. You say that okay okay look let me be clear

CHAPTER 38 / 46 Discussion

Cellular South, AT&T Roaming Disputes

A representative from Cellular South testified that AT&T has refused to negotiate data roaming agreements despite FCC mandates. AT&T CEO Randall Stephenson dismissed the complaint by claiming technological incompatibility between CDMA and GSM networks. The hosts argue the hearing was "rigged" and that major telecoms use patent-style tactics to lock out smaller regional carriers.

cellular south· at&t· roaming· fcc· gsm

1:56:37 There's a lot of work going on knowage in the news network calm and a show notes comm knowledge into stream.com What are you doing? You're not your yeah, thank you. You're building PCs so Here's a clip that this is again back to the AT&T hearings I finally listened to this whole thing and realize that the whole deal Of course This is obvious when you just think about it for a second The idea is for AT&T basically shut out all the little guys even though they claim that they're not gonna do that but to shut out the little guys from being able to get roaming agreements and what you have to do too. You know, the way you do that is you have to make sure you don't need roaming agreements yourself right just like it's like patent portfolios in tech business if you have a you know big patent portfolio and you're locking everybody out of those patents then you got some little chip company that wants to make a

1:57:27 that uses any of your patents and they're competitors, you can just tell them to screw themselves. They don't get any of your patents. Oh wait a minute if they have one loan patent that you need, you're screwed! You have to give them a deal so you have to let them use your patents this is what happens with AMD and Intel. They are both big enough that they have enough patents each that they have to share technology This is the same thing with roaming So there's a roaming guy comes out, some guy from uh... his name is Mena from Cellular South who was in the committee and he's one of the guys. And he bitches about that fact that AT&T won't give them roaming even though they FCC told them to The AT&T guy comes back with some bogus reason and then of course they get into little argument

1:58:11 Grassley, who doesn't seem to care about really this whole thing is rigged by the way. They're going to do this deal he tells them that basically just shut up but play this problem with AT&T roaming and as far as the fees are concerned one of the biggest challenges that we have faced is trying to get a roaming agreement with AT&T, especially a data roaming agreement at the 3G level. Even after the FCC mandated data roaming in their order back in April we've had we've not made any progress toward that now it is you know April's just last month but You know, we've been told the roaming person's out of town. So it is very important for to answer your question, it's very important for carriers to be able to provide service that allows their devices to work anywhere the user goes anywhere in the country rural urban It's awfully important for the voice and data to work wherever they go

1:59:12 Mr. Stephenson? First, in response to the rural roaming we have a number of 3G rural roaming deals around the U.S with rural providers The FCC rules have established how that process should work so we're open for business on roaming for rural 3G services as it relates to Mr. Mina He's on a different technology than AT&T operates on. I don't, I mean he...I'd be glad to talk to you after this and get something going but we do not offer CDMA coverage. We have a GSM property that we've been trying to negotiate about for quite awhile. How big is that? We sure did! We have a GSM property in North Alabama. Can folks negotiate on your own time?!

1:59:49 You know it seems to me that when this little debate began and it seemed a real important element here was the fact that AT&T is only going to do roaming agreements with people that they have to do them with because of this similar situation like with patents. that would be something you jump on if you were in the committee right but no they give they tell the guys to go play in the sandbox someplace else and it was just I thought it was a good example this is rigged. Anyway, of course that was my main complaint about what I spent a lot of time to find that little clip and well You know And I appreciate you doing that because no one else is paying any attention To it the news media certainly isn't paying any attention to it. And essentially It's a monopolistic move by AT&T as they buy up T-Mobile and your right all I mean The telecoms companies would they pay?

2:00:47 Congressman and senators in campaign fund donations is huge. These companies, they spend the most... AT&T and Verizon are the biggest advertisers in the universe! These guys are huge! And they own everybody and everything, and by the way, they track everybody and everything. This is all very important or as that guy says important to him he says important kind of in a weird way. Yeah, they have weird accents so their milieu whatever it is, gives people all these weird voices uh... so some haiti news as you know i i still track uh... haiti very closely because of well not only do i have my thoughts about the the naturality of the earthquake there but uh... when that president uh... presidents bill uh... billy boy clinton and uh... douchebag bush came out and said they just in a sure cash we just need to ask and all our people want us and blankets or water

Haiti Cholera Outbreak, UN Peacekeeper Negligence

Investigations by Al Jazeera and Euronews suggest that UN peacekeepers from Nepal may have introduced cholera to Haiti by allowing sewage from their base to leak into the Artibonite River. While the UN officially denies the link, local reports and laboratory samples indicate the outbreak began immediately following the arrival of the Nepalese battalion.

haiti· cholera· united nations· nepal· al jazeera

2:01:49 Just send your cash. The cholera projections have been up once again. People are pooping themselves to death literally in Haiti and Euronews did go out and try to investigate the claims that the UN peacekeepers actually have spread this cholera, and they way it happens is so they had these blue helmet camps, UN camps which is army camp you know its military because they've blue helmets therefore I guess their not...they don't look as aggressive or whatever

2:02:25 and when they poop it goes from the latrine right into the river. And so the guy went out and tried to investigate We're not being told exactly what's going on here but it certainly smells like sewage there are toilets right there, and the liquid seems to be draining into this river just a few meters away that flows into the nearby town of Mirbalay Local residents said they'd frequently seen sewage from the base leak into the river and that families in the area had recently become ill. It's only people downriver who have been infected, a child close to here died another family had three kids get diarrhea and one died the same day The UN is firmly denying the battalion could be a source of the outbreak

2:03:04 A senior official told Al Jazeera the water had been tested already. There has also been a rumour that Nepalese in Mirabale are a source of cholera, we have taken samples from the river and they've been confirmed by the national laboratory to be negative But downriver from the Nepalese base there are certainly cases of cholera 50 cases have been confirmed in the local prison and the river runs on into Artebonit, the worst affected region. The Nepalese contingents wouldn't tell us when they arrived here but UN headquarters confirmed it was mid-October just weeks after a cholera outbreak in Kathmandu

2:03:40 And on Wednesday, the soldiers appeared to be taking away more samples. Suggesting this investigation may not be over." So that was Al Jazeera I apologize and of course they had the guys actually on their hands and knees scooping up poop This seems to be a theme that we have now in our government Detective Dookie! Detective Dookie! Poop Police! S.D. Unit Special Poopers Unit So anyway, so while that's going on while people are pooping themselves to death President Clinton will be leading the official US delegation to the inauguration this weekend of Haiti's new president. The douchebag formerly known as the guy in the band that no one cared about Sweet Mickey Martelli and who will be accompanying him?

Clinton Bush Haiti Fund, Luxury Hotel Investment

The Clinton Bush Haiti Fund announced a $2 million investment to complete the construction of the Oasis Hotel, a luxury 130-room project in Port-au-Prince. The hosts criticize the use of charitable donations for high-end real estate rather than direct aid for earthquake victims. They question the whereabouts of the billions of dollars collected through celebrity-led fundraising efforts.

2:04:34 Martelli? No, Bill. Billy Boy! He's leading it... Who is going to be accompanying him? Well there has got to be some celebrity. Oh no, it's Hillary of course! Hillary is going along now yeah so I'm of course what we're still trying to figure out his where did all the money go the money that these guys literally shilled for and I can tell you after we remind ourselves how they pitch this to the American public in the world shyster show up and take advantage of people's goodwill and generosity We just need cash. I know a lot of people want to send blankets or water, just send your cash The Clinton Bush Haiti fund that's who you sent your money to announced yesterday it would invest two million dollars to complete construction on a major hotel project in Haiti Ah! I'm glad we nailed that early The 130 room Oasis Hotel

2:05:27 and they will of course have the Bill Clinton suite. Oh yeah, which Bill Clinton will get comped for free! Yeah it's unbelievable UN-BUH-LEAVABLE What happened to the rest of the billions that were collected? Ten dollars type it in your cell phone ten bucks ten bucks ten bucks where'd that money go? Into the Clinton library Well you know they had the big day... Of course the giveaway for these things is always the concert with all these actors and singers, Bono, those types of people. Sir Bob! It's like a giveaway as soon as they do that it's just a scam I know it's nasty but at least when people listen to our show they don't get entirely

High Fructose Corn Syrup, Sugar Labeling Rebranding

The corn industry is launching a PR campaign to rebrand high fructose corn syrup as "corn sugar," claiming the body cannot distinguish between different types of sugar. The hosts argue that sucrose and fructose are metabolically different and criticize the prevalence of corn syrup in basic food products like bread.

2:06:14 do you have to do the show yeah another one we uh... we've been talking about john how long is actually human saying there will come a day when when corn sugar or just because sugar yet it was obvious that that was the idea here's the commercial as that they can't say has come here is the commercial Like any parent, I have questions about the food my daughter eats. Things like high fructose corn syrup So I started looking for answers from medical and nutrition experts What I discovered is that whether it's corn sugar or cane sugar your body can't tell the difference Sugar is sugar! And knowing that makes me feel better about what she eats

2:06:58 That's one less thing to worry about. Learn more at CornSugar.com that come out with this new meme which is sugar or sugar. Yeah, we did play that clip a couple weeks ago... And the point is that it's not and everybody I mean earlier on their earlier pitch that the fructose guy the high-fructose corn syrup people had was its high fructose hello sucrose and fructose are not the same and we always assume that sucrose is sugar because that's what you know we've been over the centuries the eons we've been eating

2:07:47 sugar which is derived from originally from cane and then it'd be started you could get it you're gonna extract your from certain sugar beats but it was a sucrose product and high fructose corn syrup is a completely different thing. It's a combination mostly fructose in a little sucrose and has mixed up with God knows what because comes out of refinery so who knows what's really in there in terms of like the way and the way it operates a weather bond together who knows where does obviously is not good or we think it's not good and with me assume it's not good because they keep covering up the facts and they keep jumping on people who complain about it and they keep putting everything that we don't want it and and anyway that to make a long story short its bull crap that sugar is sugar you're very sure group is poop

2:08:33 It's just unbelievable. Unbelievable! Then why do they call it high fructose corn syrup? Because it's sugar! Just like, it's ridiculous and they are gonna pull this stunt where on the labels is just going to say sugar and it's going to be high fructose corn syrup And I was looking at bread. I was at the store getting some croissants and some other stuff, and i'm looking at this package... Wait a minute! You were getting a croissant? Yeah, I was getting a croissant.

So anyway, so I'm looking at the bread ingredients in his various bread products and they got high fructose corn syrup in half the breads In your croissant?!

2:09:16 No, the croissant didn't have high fructose corn syrup. But these other products damn near... Why am I buying? Why is there high fructose corn syrup in my bread?! Because sugar is sugar! Have a croissant! I don't want sugar in my bread at all why do I want this in my bread? Would you please say I don't want sugar in my croissant?

Soap Operas, General Hospital Cancellation

The cancellation of long-running soap operas like General Hospital marks the end of an era in television, with scripted dramas being replaced by cheaper reality programming. One host recalls a 1988 guest appearance on the soap opera Another World. The segment laments the loss of traditional television dialogue and storytelling formats.

2:10:10 General Hospital end of an era. I don't want to go overdo this but we are at the end of days and not, I'm talking about the other word but they're taking all the soap operas off the air and we're gonna miss dialogue And people should start watching the soap operas because you're never going to see them again. These aren't gonna exist anymore, so they're all gonna get replaced by crappy reality shows and mediocre talk shows like Ellen's show. So this is uh... it's like the radio plays going away? Yeah this is the end of an era I'm surprised he didn't just keep walking. I'd be lying if said it wasn't my first instinct

Maybe there's hope for us here I really shouldn't be talking to ya I miss you Good Hopefully at some point, you'll miss all of us enough to go to rehab and get help Help The only reason i'm talking right now is because i'm scared You're gonna do something stupid And get yourself killed

No no it was nothing wrong with it but the only people who still talk about are the ones who have no hair and you're kind of thing...

FBI Wiretapping, Telecom Stigma Disclosure

Documents obtained by the ACLU through a Freedom of Information Act request reveal that the FBI is withholding the names of telecommunications companies that provide customer data for investigations. The FBI argues that disclosing these partnerships would cause "substantial harm" to the businesses because customers might cancel their services due to the stigma of working with federal law enforcement.

2:16:31 So this was unbelievable that the, who was it? There was a Freedom of Information Act request. I'm trying to figure out who filed this... ACLU! To the American Civil Liberties Union and they requested a whole bunch of documents from the FBI and they've published some of these documents and this is about the government wiretapping you So here's the document of the FBI sent back this case the FBI withheld the identities of the electronic communication service providers that have provided information or are listed as potentially required to provide information To the FBI as part of its national security and criminal investigation under authority granted by section 702 blah blah blah blah that of course is the FISA Act and

2:17:24 has been asserted because disclosure so they have not they won't tell under the Freedom of Information Act request. They are refusing to tell the slaves Who which telecommunications companies are giving out information about their customers? And here's the reason why specifically these businesses would be substantially harmed if their customers knew that they were furnishing information to the FBI The stigma of working with the FBI would cause customers to cancel the company service and file civil actions To prevent further disclosure of subscriber information. I mean we're doomed

2:18:04 He believes he and T by the way, of course, but can you believe that the FBI will not tell us? Under law they're required to they will not tell us because we might sue those companies or drop our so go to another company And that is the definition of abhorrent right there. Ooh The word comes back Libya has a little bit of a problem NATO uh... admitted earlier this week they don't know if gaddafi is dead or alive so all of a sudden picture start to show up here he is he's live, he's doing well and the president just announced that douchebag from the opposition

Defense Bill Update, Executive War Powers

The fiscal 2012 defense bill includes language that expands the authorization for the use of military force to include "associated forces" of Al-Qaeda and the Taliban. Critics argue this allows the executive branch to declare war on any entity or country without specific Congressional approval. The hosts compare the current US Senate to the Roman Senate in its gradual surrender of power to a central dictator.

2:18:48 will now be visiting the White House and he'll be taking a meeting so they're recognized. It doesn't matter if Gaddafi is dead or not, the EU was opening up an office in Tripoli and London is opening up an office in London for the Libyan opposition. They just pretend like Gaddafi doesn't even exist now. Well that's one way of doing it! Yeah I like it this is like oh it doesn't really matter whatever Huh. Yeah, yeah it's a little disturbing or go ahead and say it what? It's abhorrent! I'm not gonna say it all right I'm gonna avoid using the word unless something really gets to me okay well let me try this one on you then so the there's a we have to fund the military of course because you know we have to other week yes we have to pay the troops

2:19:43 So this is the, and this is like a six hour C-Span chin dig which I have not watched everything but I would like to pull the relevant quote. So they have the fiscal 2012 defense bill and as with most of these big bills which are of course trillions dollars they always slip stuff in check this out what they've added to this bill is an update to 2001 authorization to use military force to reflect the Al-Qaeda of the present day, which is much different than the organization that attacked us on 9 11. So the original authorization tethered the war to those directly or indirectly responsible for 911, which means the president can say you know what? You were directly or indirectly responsible for 911 we could declare a war on YOU

2:20:35 The new language authorizes, quote, an armed conflict with Al-Qaeda the Taliban and associated forces as those entities continue to pose a threat to the United States and its citizens. What this means is with associated forces which of course could be The president now can authorize the United States to go to war with anyone, any country anywhere without going number of these bills going through with there is one that was showed up by i don't remember the number but it's another schumer bill where schumer says let's get your wet white all these senate confirmations that we're doing why why would you skip a minute to present do whatever he wants and other words you know you have to imagine yourself in a position of one of the three parts of our government giving up power to them to be executive branch

2:21:40 just out of goodwill or who knows why the fact of the matter is that our congresses just essentially turning this country because they have spineless group a people that don't want to do it is basically don't do any work It's just like the Roman Senate, you know which is always people complained about when the Romans turned into a from a republic of sorts to a dictatorial oriented dictatorship. Which is what we're slowly turning into and I want to remind people that this show that you're listening to it not going to continue forever because of this uh... and ended the schumer bill and this thing here that they're men these complaining about in all the rest of it is just more indications that are just turning more and more power to executive branch both the republicans and the democrats and course you don't keep you want he'd run paul out of the argument even though he's one every straw poll but don't talk about him running for anything for heaven forbid he won't be part of the game and they just give away the whole operation both parties

2:22:40 to the executive branch and of course the Republicans figure well we'll get back in there someday so we'll get to be Caesar. It's ridiculous, it's a problem. So um uh...to wrap it up when Maynard asked me from ABC Australia they said what can we do? And he was like oh you should be Mayor Curry I'm like no I think the real way to get with a hair yeah he's a guy with the hair thanks hey i saw him in another world he was awesome swamp thing was great now is mayor

2:23:16 I kind of came up with the only way we can get rid of these elites and the only way is to really get under their skin and annoy them because when they're annoyed then they go on television or C-Span which will be good enough in this case. And, they do trip up when... The media this is the only thing that can't control When one of these elites really trips up and does something really dumb that propagates goes viral, and they lose all credibility so The best way we can do that is to keep getting under their skin by calling Hillary Lucifer You know it's Lucy Napolitano It's a shyster shoe Schumer. You got to keep irritating these guys That's what really works. That is my No I'm gonna stick to glad you feel that way
