About this episode

President Barack Obama and Twitter Chairman Jack Dorsey are set to host the first-ever White House Twitter Town Hall on July 6, 2011. While the administration frames the digital forum as a breakthrough in transparency, critics point to the event's vulnerability to coordinated social media hijacking. The move comes as the White House faces legal scrutiny over a campaign video recorded inside government property, potentially violating federal laws against soliciting donations on federal grounds.

In the Middle East, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton issued a sharp ultimatum to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, warning that his regime faces increasingly organized resistance. This rhetoric coincides with reports of the U.S. State Department partnering with Microsoft and Facebook in Lithuania to train foreign activists in bypassing state censorship. Meanwhile, the International Monetary Fund faces a leadership vacuum following the collapse of the sexual assault case against Dominique Strauss-Kahn, as Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr. deals with allegations of a politically motivated setup involving Nicolas Sarkozy.

Mainstream media outlets continue to push scripted narratives, exemplified by a robotic BBC interview with Ed Miliband regarding UK public sector strikes. National security contributor Fran Townsend appeared on CNN to warn of Yemeni terror threats, while Yemeni citizens face a manufactured energy crisis at the pump. The show also explores the bizarre intersection of celebrity culture and economics, as Lindsay Lohan reportedly receives thousands of dollars to tweet sponsored warnings about the Federal Reserve and rising food prices.

Lindsay Lohan and Celebrity Sponsored Tweets

Lindsay Lohan posted a tweet criticizing the Federal Reserve and rising food prices, which appears to be a sponsored advertisement for the National Inflation Association. Celebrities like Lohan, Kim Kardashian, and Michael Vick are reportedly earning between $700 and $10,000 per tweet to promote products or political agendas. The National Inflation Association is identified as a group that uses economic fear to funnel subscribers into penny stock pump-and-dump schemes.

07:45 And now, back to Real News. Right Lawrence look when a lot of ex-cons get out of prison looking for work it's not easy she can type 140 keystrokes and make $3500 which is you know that's good work if you can get it So who are we talking about? I have no idea Lindsay Lohan my friend! I didn't know she could type She tweeted Now this is astounding and I got a couple A couple of notes from people, they're like look what Lindsay Lohan just tweeted. Here's her tweet Have you guys seen food and gas prices lately? US dollar will soon be worthless if Fed keeps printing money And I mean it shows send me a link to the tweet. I gotta see this What do you think this tweet is all about? I don't know You telling me that it's that bogus National Inflation Association

08:49 Do you know this? No, I'm all ears. Well listen to this and i'll explain who they are It's not as good as Kim Kardashian who can get $10,000 for a single tweet but I am extrapolating from this and I would say that you could actually earn about 50 bucks per tweet perhaps even get a premium because you don't wear an ankle monitoring brace. I will start tweeting right now How many tweets, do we have any sense of how many for cash tweets people like Lindsey and the Kardashians are doing every day? It's hard to quantify but there are websites designed just for this to line people up to do these tweets. Michael Vick if you care about what products he is endorsing You can get him to tweet your product for 700 bucks it is spreading quite a bit down to about three dollars which I think is where I'd be at

09:41 paid ten dollars if I wouldn't endorse something but uh... but uh... lindsey lohan has been doing she did one eight hundred muffins she did a temptations sweepstakes to win a trip to las vegas and my very favorite one was for fashion day she tweeted omg exclamation point an LV bag for a dollar at fashion bay maybe i can get lucky and when something cool here So she getting for this thirty five hundred bucks and so this is worth it for her to go. Wow, there's no agenda shows Yeah So National Inflation Association isn't Alex Jones advertiser by the way And they they're very very smart and what they do is they? It's kind of know agenda ish

10:27 The kind of, you know although it's like would we ever say oh have you seen food and gas prices lately? The US dollar was to me worthless if the Fed keeps printing money. So that's like okay but what they do is they get you hooked in and they sign you up subscribe now for free and you're getting a newsletter And the newsletter is pink slip stock trading pump-and-dumps So they'll tell you about, you gotta buy gold. Yeah so they start off by saying got to buy gold but hey wait a minute look at this stock! You should uh...buy this stock it's a penny stock and the pump-and-dump scheme? Yes!! Oh please. And yeah she's shilling for that But your right $3500 bucks for her to say those guys had no agenda They really assassinate the media We should come up with something for her to tweet

11:19 Yeah, well for that guy. Let's take a look see what else is doing who else is it and you can always follow me on Twitter Who uh? Who's doing what what else else has I got these big numbers that they can you know roll out Quick advertisement What's the caught with how many numbers does she have you ever to it yeah? I'm gonna take a look now she has Where's her what is this? Why doesn't it just say oh she has two million one hundred and fifty-one thousand seven hundred eighty eight followers two million Okay, so we have to watch the CPM. So do that 2 million divided by 3500 Yeah And what is that I don't know how to bring out the cat I can normally use to be able to do stuff in my head

12:02 But it's like I'm brain dead late. Really? 1, 2 ,3 4 5 6 divided by 3500 equals 571... no that couldn't be. Yeah! 571 what?! I did the same thing Oh by a thousand so fifty seven cents per person. Fifty-seven cents is the CPM 50s that's uh, that's pretty cheap actually it is cheap except for one thing. Well, it's actually even taking this into account It's relatively cheap but I think if I'm not mistaken we need to get I don't think that 1 10th of those people actually ever check in on her No motion number bots So you have two she has 2 million followers supposedly But she probably has a lot of how many people actually listen

White House Twitter Town Hall and No Agenda Promotion

White House Press Secretary Jay Carney announced the first-ever Twitter Town Hall featuring President Barack Obama and Twitter Chairman Jack Dorsey on July 6, 2011. Listeners are encouraged to use the #AskObama hashtag to flood the event with questions about whether the President listens to the No Agenda show. The initiative aims to hijack the social media event for show promotion, noting that such digital forums are easily manipulated by coordinated efforts.

I'm sure he's all over that Do you believe prosecutors who intentionally break the law to convict innocent people should enjoy absolute immunity from lawsuit? I can see him just go well this is a good question let's take that one And Jack Dorsey, he's gonna... Remember? Now this is a throwback to like 1994 when we had celebrity IRC chats.

CHAPTER 04 / 34 Discussion

Debt Ceiling Negotiations and Political Theater

The ongoing debate over the United States debt ceiling is characterized as political theater, with August 2, 2011, cited as the "drop dead" date by the Treasury Department. Historical records indicate that then-Senator Barack Obama previously voted against raising the debt ceiling during the Bush administration, a move he now calls a mistake. Jay Carney and other officials are accused of using the threat of unpaid Social Security checks and veteran benefits to pressure lawmakers.

barack obama· bill clinton· jay carney· debt ceiling· treasury department· social security· august 2

19:00 About this August set. This is so I'm you know it. I wish I had a little more time I spent a lot of time doing other stuff like watching C-Span, but you know I think we should we could actually produce an American Idol version of this debt ceiling limit because that's That's where it's really all that It is people just want a good competition You know it's like nothing different than Celebrity apprentice or big brother or even a celebrity rehab. It's all the same You know just want someone to win and let's make it all exciting

19:37 The thing that gets me about this, besides the fact that it's bullcrap theater is the fact and of course nobody brings it up to... I saw a couple of times on some of these shows but there are two things that aren't brought up much. One is the fact that Obama with his stimulus packages is the one who pushed the idea of giving tax breaks to those jet owners Something even more interesting when it comes to that this, uh... This is an interview between the wolf soon-to-be fired blitzer and Clinton because Clinton has his global Clinton initiative America. And this is something I did not know. Free vote When he was senator President Obama didn't vote to raise the debt ceiling Yeah, so He regrets it now. He said that was a mistake Did you know that? He made up... Oh yeah! I didn't know that That's what I was gonna say next oh, I'm sorry I didn't mean to

20:32 The fact is that he not only didn't vote for it during his entire tenure, because I think it was there long enough to not vote for it twice. Because during Bush they raised it every year and all these same guys are saying we can't raise it or the same guys who voted every year after year after year to raise it and Obama not only voted against it but he gave a long-winded speech about how it shows lack of leadership that you have to do this in the first place! It wasn't a mistake No. No, it wasn't a mistake and Clinton actually went on to say you know that's just what you do listen to he acts I love Clinton now that he's little senile You know this is like all those operations all the drugs and everything whatever it is Listen to this Since its never happened before It's impossible to be absolutely specific but it's nutty What your really saying when you don't raise the debt limit? Its Nutty

21:31 It's just nutty. It's nutty I tell ya! So anyway, so Carney gets posed the question and I think that because it was such a small crowd some woman snuck in she was actually quite good and she got in his face and he wasn't like actually like... I don't know whose talking points you're repeating here She's like excuse me? Oh yeah. What a cl- Yeah douche But she said, look now I hear there's noise that August 2nd might not even be the ultimate drop dead date. They moved it to 22nd. What i can tell you is that treasury career people at the treasury department. Oh career people at the Treasury Department. Oh I like the meme! Career People as opposed to just your everyday schlub. Yeah career people smart people in other words you slave dumb

22:24 evaluate the data and this is obviously a big economy and government that takes in a lot of money and has a lot of obligations to me. And their assessment is A, we already surpassed the debt ceiling but because things that we can do other previous administrations have done it we've been able to they were able to say that the deadline where we basically run out tools in toolbox. Tools in the tool box! To keep this going uh...is August 2nd If they make changes in that, you know that's for them to do. But I think we're talking about a narrow margin here whether it is August 1st or August 2nd or August 3rd We are up against the wall

23:02 I think August 1st, August 2nd, August 3rd. Advertising Yeah whatever you want to call it and then he goes right ahead and propagates the whole meme which i just need to get back too because beginning to annoy me And it is not at all reasonable to play chicken with a full-faithing and pay interest on the debt, to pay bondholders. The Chinese government or others who hold treasuries but not pay something else maybe social security checks for veterans benefits I mean that's just not acceptable that is not a good alternative and there is no question according to outside economic analysts that the markets would not view decision default charitably

CHAPTER 05 / 34 Discussion

Corporate Jet Tax Loopholes and Obama's Rhetoric

President Obama is targeting tax loopholes for corporate jet owners and hedge fund managers in his recent weekly radio address to address the national deficit. Critics point out that Obama himself signed the legislation in 2009 that provided these specific tax breaks for jet manufacturers to protect jobs in Wichita. The rhetoric is framed as a way to guilt-trip wealthy donors while threatening cuts to education and medical research if taxes are not raised.

barack obama· corporate jets· hedge fund managers· tax code· oil companies· deficit reduction

24:06 uh... and i think that again uh... it's a go ahead always worth reminding those lawmakers on the hill who think somehow that this is beginning the president ronald reagan did not think so thank you yeah we got run as a whole ronald reagan quote but all of his own rate guide there's a brown or a game in going around like about later so what does that mean just are begun a second because i'm on the floor here So this is really, what I've noticed is that this is only about one thing. This whole debt ceiling thing it's being mangled from...this is all about corporate jet owners and hedge fund managers which by the way I'm convinced Obama is continuing to propagate this meme to guilt them into paying you know giving him money for his campaign. I think you actually came up with that initial assessment but this is really all about taxes

25:06 and how we're going to, you know taxes are just gonna have to go up. And he's greasing the wheels as it were and this is from his radio address as broadcast on YouTube from this weekend. And nothing can be off limits including spending in the tax code Oh I'm sorry military can't be touched but everything else that can't be off-limits particularly the loopholes that benefit very few individuals and corporations Now it would be nice if we could keep every tax break but we can't afford them because if we choose to keep those tax breaks for millionaires and billionaires or for hedge fund managers and corporate jet owners, or for oil gas companies pulling in huge profits... Hold on a second. Did he do this since the last show? Yes! This is new. He's still harping on this?! But listen how he positioned us so

26:01 Here's that he's putting imagery in your head corporate jet owners. He's not mentioning bankers Why is it hedge fund managers specifically because hedge fund managers don't necessarily donate to campaigns banks donate to campaigns I think that's the main dare? He's not saying bankers of course not a hedge fun manager, so it sounds like it sounds more evil too But now listen to what you say venture capitalists Gordon Kleiner Perkins just the thoughts without our help then we'll have to make even deeper cuts somewhere else. Oh, okay so let me just understand if we don't tax corporate jet owners oil companies and hedge fund managers what is going to happen John? Uh they're gonna have the shut down the police department the fire department and kick your kid out of school yeah Timmy's not going to go to school that's what it's all about We've got a say to a student you don't get a college scholarship Shut up slave! They don't anyway

26:56 We have to say to a medical researcher, you can't do that cancer research. This is bad! Why are you saying it? What if the guy's independently wealthy and he's doing the research or if some big pharmaceutical company is paying for it as most do Yeah You might have to tell seniors. You have to pay more for your Medicare. John, you might have to pay more for your Medicare! Oh no! That isn't right and it isn't smart. That's not right? It's not smart We've got to cut the deficit but we can do that while making investments in education and research and technology that actually create jobs Uh-huh We can live within our means while still investing in our future Alright turn this guy... This is making me sick And its gonna ruin the point I'm going to try to make

CHAPTER 06 / 34 Discussion

Obama's Leadership and Personal Anecdotes

A discussion regarding President Obama's perceived lack of leadership skills includes a mention of him reportedly getting his daughter's age wrong during a speech. This is interpreted as a potential future political callback to show how the presidency distanced him from his family. The segment concludes with more suggestions for the #AskObama hashtag regarding the President's smoking habits and his wife's fashion choices.

barack obama· leadership· malia obama· twitter· political strategy

27:41 The guy's terrible. By the way, I think he's acting like a dick Do you know that he got his daughter's age wrong during his speech? Yeah! I heard that And i'm like wow That's... How do you do it? Even if its being washed away as well You know her birthday was coming up in the week so No no I don't say to anybody my daughter is 21 She's 20 No no no your missing this one He did that on purpose, that way he can always use it as a callback when he doesn't run for the re-election. And say you know even if I remember I couldn't even remember my daughter's birthday! That's how far away i'm getting from my family. Oh very good very good okay

28:23 I believe that this whole thing that's going on with the debt ceiling is classic Washington payback. He made such a big stink about lack of leadership and everything else when he voted against raising the debt ceiling during the Bush administration, that they're just paying him back! You can dish it out but you can't take it. They're just waiting for the lack of leadership thing to come. Well Obama has got no leadership skills here I mean the whole thing is a payback. I don't think that Republicans or the Democrats or anybody in there care about taxes one way or another, as far as they're concerned they can ruin the public as long as they stay in office. I'm not buying any deeper analysis than that but they're doing a really crappy job about it because there's...I did not know that he had voted against it and it's, it's not really being propagated well no they're not trying this just between them is not always how do you know really let's even dumber like we're giving it to yet were given you the needle see how much you can take what beg for mercy may have mercy be my bitch

29:24 And the other one they're not talking about much is the fact that he's the one who instituted those private jet tax deals. It was him and now he's railing against what he put in! Explain that, how did he institute that? If you look at 2009 there was a bunch of articles the AP has a huge bunch of stories about how when they did TARP and bailout there were specific provisions for the small jet... Oh I remember that yes i do remember that! For the jet manufacturers because it was going to create jobs in Wichita Because the bail out guys were flying to Washington with their jets wasn't that how it started? No, that's how it started but then it was kind of covered up because the jet guy said hey you're ruining our business so Obama says okay here is what we are going to do in the bailout we are going give the jet owners a tax break which will encourage sales so Wichita and Beechcraft

30:16 can sell more jets. He's the one who put it in, now the right wing is kind of torn about this because they were mocking it when it first came out and now they can't say because they're gonna look like a bunch of hypocrites too so they're not saying much about that just bitching about it But they're not making this connection. I've only heard it twice on any of these TV stations that somebody mentioned that this is Obama's tax break! He's the one who created the tax break for the jet guys and now he's complaining about it? This whole thing stinks. Dorch McGurkin, by the way we have a new hashtag which is Hashtag Number Sign AskObama Do you realize while you attack corporate jet owners your flying around in our jets

31:00 Hashtag ask Obama why does your wife wear her belt so ridiculously high? At Barack Obama you were mentioned on today's no agenda show yeah I'm sure he's clicking away or as we speak by a hashtag Obama by the way are you still smoking keep it up guys keep it out but you know it's at the six is when it all kicks into gear but uh... a lot of people will be looking for this hashtag number sign And it's good promotion for the show. So I think that's good anyway, so that was going on here and get my nation United States of Brokeness and Miss Mickey and I were kind of decided that we're after the hot pockets tour which I might remind you kicks off in 11 days We are gonna move out of the great state of California yeah well

CHAPTER 07 / 34 Discussion

Dominique Strauss-Kahn Case and Cyrus Vance Jr.

The sexual assault case against former IMF chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn is collapsing, leading to intense media scrutiny of Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr. Connections are drawn between Vance, Nicolas Sarkozy, and the CIA, suggesting the case may have been a setup. The resignation of sex crimes unit head Lisa Friel and graphic descriptions of the alleged assault by the victim's lawyer are highlighted as evidence of the case's "fishiness."

dominique strauss-kahn· cyrus vance jr· nicolas sarkozy· lisa friel· nypd· sexual assault· imf

31:57 not a wise thing as far as I'm concerned. State's ridiculous. Yeah, it's and corrupt that too talking about corrupt now we have before we go into our little producer segment of course we did get a lot of kudos on the tweeter for the fact that we called the Dominic Smith con so this stuff means from now on he's He's Dominic Smith-Kahn. That's it. Smith-Kahn man and so uh, and it looks like... And I got a little analysis of because the New York Times has some various writeups that are obviously out to get Cyrus Vance You know it's funny because I was looking at this I'm like where is the connection? What's going on? By the way its Cyrus Vance Jr

32:44 Right. He's also an old man, by the way. This is the only connection I could make and he is son of former Secretary of State during the... was it Carter administration? Maybe. Yeah yeah here it is Cyrus Vance secretary of state for the Carter administration but you know there's a Sarkozy connection there did you know that no so Nicolas Sarkozy his stepfather Frank G Wiesner II was a prominent CIA official who married his stepmother Christine de Janais in 1977 served as deputy executive secretary of state under Cyrus Vance. It's a stretch but that's the only one I could really find there is a Sarkozy-Cyrus Vance connection which kind of threw me for a loop because like well maybe it partially was about

33:41 the presidential elections. But maybe, from that level it's a little interesting. Who are we kidding? The guy gets accused they perp walk in and it's huge like he was ripped off the plane He immediately loses his job. The Chicago 25 alum, Chicago law firm shill from Baker McKenzie. Don't be fooled by the French accent. She's the managing director of one of the oldest and very prestigious law firms in the country from the Chicago cabal. She takes his job two days later. Oh man. Damn I'm sorry we gotta let you go. Really? You have to do what you gotta do Well did you have any analysis

34:29 Well, I'll do it after the major break when i go to the New York Times for my little segment. Oh that's right! I have to get your... And in regards to Cyrus Vance, I don't have any real major analysis about why you know what he has really is connected too all I know as a parent by reading The Times that they're out to get him Do you know that the woman who was running the sex crime unit for the past 10 years resigned yesterday? Why?! Well, the bogus thing... so she resigned but now they're saying one of these she was fired because she appeared in an HBO documentary on the 20th. Her name is Lisa Friel and by the way she's kind of milfy looking not that it matters but just interesting And there are now people saying oh you know you talked about evidence about some case it wasn't related to Dominique Smith-Kahn

35:33 and Nicole Smith-Kahn. But that's why she was fired, now this is not anything official she of course said she's leaving to pursue outside interests but I have to say the coincidence of her resigning a day after this case falls apart. There's just too much fishiness going on. No, the whole thing is fishy and then they're blaming this Vance character because apparently he fired a bunch of district attorneys that I guess are very popular? I don't know...I think the New York Police Department has got to be a web of corruption in all kinds of different levels I mean, as any giant police department would be. Well then who's in charge of the police at the end of day? It's Bloomberg!

36:17 Yeah, and Bloomberg would be yeah right. I think that Vance is not playing ball or whatever he's doing wrong and he was targeted. I think this was the whole thing to set him up because you know they were blaming him then people say well they should fire him Well he just takes the cases that the police give them and they give a solid rock solid case on his silver platter Did he say wait a minute this cases bogus? No! The police gave him a solid case supposedly and then when they started to put the investigated a little further at the DA level they found that thing was bullcrap my favorite one is they've translated a phone call from the woman, the rapee. But they knew about her! Calling her boyfriend in jail in Arizona when apparently record

37:01 the calls in Arizona, in the prison and she's talking to some weird language that took this long to translate apparently a couple days ago. And she saying don't worry honey this guy is worth a lot of money! Yeah I know yeah But then her lawyer came out and he said some really shocking things. My favorite thing by him was where he called the district attorney Vance a coward for not doing the case! Now this is what I thought was shocking, I was listening to this and like wow it's just shocking... By the way remember her first attorney with some ambulance chaser? He got pulled off real quick and then they put this guy in

37:42 When the victim walked into that suite, she did so for one reason and that was to clean that suite. She was told no one was inside that room and she went into that room believing that no one was inside that room. And then Dominique Strauss-Kahn came out running out of one of those rooms naked towards her And he grabbed her breast first and started to attack her. He then grabbed her vagina with so much force that he hurt her! He grabbed her vagina with so much force that he bruised her vagina!" It just goes on and on about the vagina, I was like wow...and you listen to the whole thing and you can find it at 318.nashownotes.com

38:47 It's shocking! This guy really pulled out all the stops. He bruised her vagina, he hurt her vagina... ...he grabbed her vagina with so much force that it was like, oh okay? By the way that is not a clip you're going to see on your nightly news. No Because we can't say vagina You can't say anything. It has deteriorated to an extreme So let us thank our producers for todays show After that little depressing bit. Well, they're the guys who make it so we can actually play clips like that and discuss probably angles to stories that other people just simply won't even consider because they don't have enough time A and they got a cut to a commercial and then there at the mercy of the people that are playing the commercials

CHAPTER 08 / 34 Discussion

Executive Producer Credits and Karma Requests

The show acknowledges high-tier donors, including James Briscoe, who is knighted for his contribution. Dylan Longworth is granted Executive Producer credit via a gift from a relative. Other donors from Arkansas, California, and Belgium receive "karma" for job searches and health issues. The segment also touches on a local scam involving car cleaning products at gas stations and mentions health documentaries like "Fathead."

41:17 with respect to the karma it is appreciated I just don't want to dilute its value to others as karma for my plight is secondary to those who need it for a job and the bit about handwriting, I was referring to my handwriting on the envelope not on the note itself adios mofos Jim. So does he want some Karma? Do you give him Karma or not? He doesn't specifically ask for it he just wants us to transfer the ownership of the executive producer to Dylan okay then oh Let me just put it in there then.

CHAPTER 09 / 34 Discussion

NBC Nightly News Critique

A review of the NBC Nightly News lineup with Brian Williams criticizes the mainstream media for focusing on "fluff" stories. Topics included a minor airport security breach, China's high-speed rail progress, and the British Royal Family's trip to Canada. These are contrasted against the more substantive political and economic issues covered by independent media.

CHAPTER 11 / 34 Discussion

National Strategy for Counter-Terrorism and Matthew Olsen

The Obama administration has appointed Matthew Olsen, a former NSA lawyer, to lead the National Counterterrorism Center. The new "National Strategy for Counter-Terrorism" document is analyzed for its heavy use of legalistic language, defining "adherents" and "affiliates" in broad terms. Discrepancies in the spelling of "Osama" vs "Usama" bin Laden in official documents are noted as potential indicators of "shadow theater."

matthew olsen· al qaeda· nsa· counter-terrorism· osama bin laden· whitehouse.gov

58:26 You know we have a new douche who is in charge of counter-terrorism. Yeah, I saw this guy. Did you see by the way they did a special on one of these shows where they actually brought you into the counter terrorism area? Where apparently he manages with all the computers and screams... What was that about? What a waste of money! Well here's what my beef, so this guy is named Matthew Olsen. The guy who was in there was like a military guy and I think if you're gonna have someone who in charge of counter-terrorism and terror of course big deal these days then it should be someone knows about combat and terror This guys a lawyer! He's a lawyer from the NSA

59:17 and a former prosecutor. He's really, a lawyer is now going to be in charge the chief of counterterrorism? That doesn't make it... It must be worried sick about getting sued Yes! Now so they released a brief it's on whitehouse.gov that is the National Strategy for Counter-Terrorism and I just wanted to mention a few things Because it's a... I understand why they brought in a lawyer, because it is a lawyer document. The whole thing has footnotes and caveats and so the principal focus of the National Strategy for Counter-Terrorism Is the collection of groups and individuals who comprise Al Qaeda and its affiliates and adherents And even says here definition

1:00:05 Adherents, individuals who have performed collaborative relationships with, act on behalf of or are otherwise inspired to take action in furtherance of the goals of Al Qaeda. The organization and the ideology including by engaging in violence regardless whether such violence is targeted at the United States its citizens or it's interests It's like don't they call that broad and overreaching in the court isn't that kind of what they say Absolutely, but I have a bigger question. Okay specifically once you ask you specifically What are the goals of Al Qaeda? Specifically ah okay is it in there yeah as so he there's a couple things So there's a footnote here one first it says affiliates is not a legal term of art

1:00:59 Although it includes associated forces, it additionally includes groups and individuals against whom the United States is not authorized to use force based on the authorities granted by the authorization for the use of military force. The use of affiliates in this strategy, in this brief, is intended to reflect a broader category of entities against whom the United States must bring various elements of national power appropriate and consistent with the law to counter the threat they pose. Associated forces is a legal term of art that refers to co-belligerence of Al Qaeda or the Taliban against whom the president is authorized to use force... Oh, they brought in the Taliban! And then they go back to the use of authorization for use of military force 2001 which George Bush signed. Let me see

1:02:01 I think i can answer your question here. This is, yeah this is our principle of creating a culture of resilience in other words rat on your neighbor is reflected in more detail in presidential policy directive 8 now these are the these are the big deal this came out may 2011 and there's a link to it in the show notes not going to talk about it now but you should read This PPD is aimed at strengthening the security and resilience of the United States through systematic preparation for the threats that pose the greatest risk to the security of the nation, including acts of terrorism cyber attacks pandemics and catastrophic natural disasters. Yep! A natural disaster? Oh yeah because that's the earthquake machine they're covering their legal ass there

1:02:52 Two more points. The United States deliberately... I thought you were, before you make these points, I thought you were going to tell me what the goals of Al-Qaeda were? It's long it's a whole introduction and it can't make you can't I can't sum up no but down two sentences the goals of al Qaeda are to kill Americans okay well that that's at least simple so there's two things that uh it's like 40 pages The United States deliberately uses the word war to describe our relentless campaign against Al-Qaeda. However, this administration has made it clear that we are not at war with the tactic of terrorism or the religion of Islam We are at war with a specific organization...Al Qaeda Which is beautiful because now its belligerents and everyone adherence It's great! No wonder they brought in the lawyer Now let me ask you this question Who did we kill in Pakistan?

1:03:49 I think there was a guy named Bin Laden. Seriously, what was his name? Who did... The president said his name What was his name? Osama or Usama bin Laden Now the president clearly said Osama No he said Usama didn't he I think he said Osama. I thought he said Usama, we debated this on the show about the Usama versus the Osama one being code for something Well because here it says specifically you never see this spelled anymore with a U It's always with an o Every news organization The New York Times look in The New York Times if they spell it Osama or Usama Because there are two different guys

1:04:32 Seriously! And here in this document it says the death of Osama bin Laden. So who did we kill? Osama or Usama? Oh sama, oh sama, sama, sama hey, sama hey, sama ho, SAMA! So anyway so that's our... Shadow Theater! Bring in the lawyers because that's exactly what's gonna be happening We're just gonna be arresting people left and right based upon their adherence belligerence. So while you were doing that I was listening to the CIA mouthpiece that comes out of the woodwork to do every she's on CNN, she's on Fox, she's everywhere this Fran Townsend very attractive woman

CHAPTER 12 / 34 Discussion

Fran Townsend and Yemen Security Crisis

National security contributor Fran Townsend appeared on CNN to discuss the deteriorating situation in Yemen and the threat posed by Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP). The discussion highlights the presence of American-born cleric Anwar Al-Awlaki and a supposed master bomb maker. Meanwhile, BBC reports show Yemeni citizens waiting in gas lines for over ten days, suggesting a manufactured energy crisis to disable the public.

fran townsend· yemen· al-qaeda· anwar al-awlaki· gas shortage· cnn

1:05:20 And when you hear her introduction, you go my god why don't we just read a press release. But I want to play because she talks about some of this especially about the Yemen stuff going on and I want to just deconstruct a little bit but before we do that so people can get used to the fact that she stammers before she's trying to remember her script I have a Townsend's medley of stammer so we can get into the pacing of it. Oh hold on, I queued up your...I didn't know there was three okay oh we have a medley John lovely! You know Jessica Yemen is and referred you know the vice president of Yemen for the outcome in Yemen and helped the remaining Yemeni look well it's incredibly and look at this they helped they have provided some help

1:06:06 Wow! Wait, hold on. First of all I'm looking at her now Sorry she does not qualify for a MILF shot and she has very thin lips because she's been lying all over life You know people who lie are out there very thin lips They're the most British so... Wow that was That was a lot of stammering. Yeah, well here she I got two clips from her one is on Yemen and the other one over Pakistan in this the stammering really kicks it up a notch when she talks about Pakistan but we I consider when she speaks always pay attention to her because

1:06:44 She's got a pipeline to something and when you listen to her introduction, You'll kind of have a clue as to why she should be listened to. Now let's get some analysis on the situations in both Pakistan and Yemen with Fran Townsend CNN national security contributor and former homeland security advisor to President Bush She is also a member of both the CIA and DHS external advisory boards Okay, her hotness just kicked up a notch It's like, I don't care baby just turn off the light. Hi Fran so first let's start with Yemen we heard Nick Robertson describe a pretty frightening picture there what are your sources saying about what's really going on in that country?

1:07:25 You know, Jessica, Yemen has been a top priority and huge concern across two administrations now. When I was in the White House, I had responsibility on the counterterrorism issue and John Brennan, President Obama's Homeland Security and Counterterrorism Advisor is struggling with this issue now and referred... you know, the Vice-President of Yemen refered to John in his interview with Nick Robertson Look, the United States has put tremendous amount of capability and resources there to try and help sort of stabilize the situation. There's no question we have every form of human intelligence technical intelligence were trying to target and help the remaining Yemeni government target al-Qaeda but I think what we hear from Nick's report in from others in the region is that we're losing that again and Yemen is losing its ability to control

1:08:13 key provinces, key regions of their own country. In Yemen al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula which is the main al Qaeda affiliate there is the strongest of the affiliates they are the most capable they have the most capable bomb maker remember we've got Anwar Al-Awlaki the American born al qaeda cleric there and so this really is probably the single most important serious threat for the ability to launch an attack into the United States there in Yemen. And that threat's getting worse, not better. Okay here we go... every meme in the world!

1:08:50 First of all, why is this guy so? Why is he the whoever this guy is the bomb maker guys and one none of his bombs have ever exploded He's the bomb maker. So they got the best bomb makers affiliate affiliate program going on Hey, that's illegal in California You can't have an affiliate for al-qaeda in California unless you say affiliate program And I saw I guess everybody gets a nickel or dime for every new recruit. I don't know sounds like like a pyramid scheme So they got an affiliate program and then they got this is the they get our cleric the American cleric bullcrapper And then of course, this is where all that did all the attacks only attack. Oh, which Yemen is going to be attacking us tomorrow Yeah Are there is the public so stupid? This country these guys haven't got enough money to do anything in fact They have a report

1:09:43 about which is this if I have it on well it's in the you know it's in the in the counterterrorism report that's the number one thing Arabian Peninsula Al Qaeda and al-qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula a qap And it says right here, this is the first after all that bull crap legalese. The United States faces two major counter-terrorism challenges in the Arabian Peninsula... ...the direct threat posed by Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula and a large quantity of financial support from individuals and charities that flow from that region to al Qaeda its affiliates and adherents around the world Hey! Can I be your adherent? Is that like a dependent?

1:10:27 Well, I don't know if i get a tax write-off. You're all...I'm all for it So meanwhile of course there was the BBC report this reduced memes are about Yemen or everywhere The BBC had a really funny report about play them play the wait 10 days for gas clip Oh, It's a little intermezzo here Another line of cars The only way to see it properly is by car We're gonna drive down the line this way now It's just car after car after car some of them have been lining up for days And here's the checkpoint here people tell us there's an impromptu checkpoint protesting They say that there's no fuel and they're closing the road But it situations like this would have led to recent gun battles breaking out The front of the gas line is about a couple hundred yards. Just down the road there

1:11:16 So how long have people been waiting here to buy gas? They've been waiting for 10 days. Ten days to get gas? More than ten days And how are people beginning to feel about that, is this making them angry? Is this Liverpool?! Is this making them angry? I've been here for 10 days! Are you pissed off? I love that question. They were waiting for gasoline for ten days, the line is a mile long still and then you ask this idiotic question... Is this making you angry? I just thought it was beautiful Was this Yemen? Yeah, Yemen is out of gas Wow And so they got everybody lined up This is one way to disable a public

CHAPTER 13 / 34 Discussion

Global Petroleum Economy and Geopolitics

The global economy's total dependence on oil is discussed, noting that petroleum is essential for everything from fertilizer to computer parts. The hosts argue that US military interventions in seven countries, as predicted by General Wesley Clark, are driven by the desire to control oil resources rather than spreading democracy. Specific mentions are made of horizontal drilling in Yemen and oil refineries in Libya and Sudan.

oil· wesley clark· libya· syria· sudan· energy· horizontal drilling

1:11:56 You just take their gasoline away. I mean why would all of a sudden there be no gasoline in Yemen? What's changed because the guy got, it was a bomb threat or something this whole thing is rigged Well this is what we do continuously and maybe we just need to... And I'd love to hear the stammering woman some more Yeah have her on Pakistan next So what I'm seeing happening and I have a couple Lucifer Clinton clips To confirm this It's very simple what we do. First of all, without oil we die okay? Sometimes we have to revisit that John people don't understand that oil is not what just goes in your car and in the airplane

1:12:36 Everything in it without oil wouldn't have packaging fertilizer refrigeration. I mean paint Monitors computer parts motherboards, but how about food stuff? I mean fertilizer I mean the alkalizer all kinds of stuff there is no world petroleum economy There is no world without oil It just isn't And what do you think the percentage is that actually goes into producing energy, John? Do you have a handle on that? No. I should know that actually believe it or not. Yeah. I admit to it and I don't but I would assume its probably less than half

1:13:19 I think it's probably more like 30%. I'm just guessing. I have no idea what i'm talking about No, we can look at that We'll look it up and maybe somebody else can dig this up for us too So without that... We should know this This is a top of the head thing That's stupid Stupid we don't know that so Maybe someone could consult The Book Of Knowledge for us So without that you die Everyone dies It's..we need it So whoever has the most of it wins And that's why we're doing seven countries in five years as General Wesley Clark stated right after September 11th. That's why we're doing it is It's not to like, it's not to save people from their evil dictators We're doing it because we want to win

1:14:03 And I don't agree with it, but that's what going on. And the people who do this they really believe it is necessary They really do So we go and stir up some crap in all these countries who have... What does Yemen have? Well, Yemen is a pretty poor country. They don't really have a lot of oil. Come on! We've been through this sideways drilling into Saudi Arabia. Oh yeah no they have the sideways drilling right? Sideways drilling right into Saudi Arabia. About a year ago we talked about it. Yeah we're sucking out all the oil from Saudi Arabia with sideways drilling or horizontal drilling whatever its called. You can go long ways with those drills. Libya... Oil Sudan.. Oil refineries and shipping Syria... Shipping Of oil

1:14:42 It's all about the oil and it's not just what goes into your car. So that's why this is happening as long as you know, it's warm in here today I'm sweating well You know the idea of living in an petroleum economy doesn't never bothered me? It's just so I think they're just handling it poorly there's just I think you do without badgering everybody and causing this sort of... Oh yeah, well the problem is people like to get extremely wealthy in the process because we're not educated on how it works. You know we all could get along and we all could figure it out And we could be paying like a buck? I think We could be paying a buck for gasoline Yeah take me back to Fran cause she's funny

CHAPTER 14 / 34 Discussion

Pakistan Bilateral Relations and Media Scripts

Fran Townsend's analysis of the "precarious" relationship between the US and Pakistan is criticized as a scripted theatrical performance. While the US claims relations are at an all-time low following the Bin Laden raid, the Pakistani ambassador suggests backroom deals are still being made. The segment notes "tells" in Townsend's delivery that indicate she is reading from a pre-approved intelligence community script.

pakistan· leon panetta· china· cnn· media tells· bin laden raid

1:15:26 Okay, well Fred so she finished her little thing on Yemen. So they ask her about Pakistan and she's less secure on this one And this is kind of interesting because as she's giving this little stammering pronouncements about Pakistan the Pakistani ambassador to the United States is giving a speech on C-SPAN really funny guy great guy and he's discussing the fact that it most of the world is all this negative these negative means about pakistan are all bogus he says is all kinds a backroom deals an agreement center made that you know the pakistani set to say one thing for their public in any do something else in here was very uh... adamant about the fact that this anti-pakistan move is something of some theater involved and she's right, she's definitely part of it. She's the one who gives the theatrical presentation of our relationship to Pakistan deteriorating which is the meme and I think this at least one part

1:16:21 of the ruling elite's opinion on how the public should be thinking about Pakistan. You've painted a frightening picture in Yemen, turning to Pakistan now! We've seen the Taliban infiltrate nearly every federal agency in that country Just how precarious is the security situation there? Well, it's incredibly precarious. And look this comes at a time where one U.S. official said to me we're at the lowest point in our bilateral relationship with Pakistan that he has seen in his many decades working this issue and I think that is right. You know, look Leon Panetta now the Secretary of Defense but certainly wasn't enjoying great relationship with them in wake of Bin Laden raid when he was director CIA

1:17:08 and that's a bit going to be a very difficult relationship to repair this isn't just one incident for those who think this was the relationship really crumbled over the bin laden raid it's been crumbling over time during the bush administration they were serious issues pakistan has not been at the particular particularly reliable partner uh... and nor have they helped as they have provided some help in afghanistan but not consistently and so with it's a troubled relationship yeah aren't all weather friends of china China. By the way, yeah all weather friends of China. China! By the way this woman who's on CNN she is actually reading from a script and she's doing a very poor job of it and Fran seems to be not happy with this script that she has been given because she is stammering as you saying look a lot she said look twice look look look look and so this so the Pakistan thing is very sketchy I'm not

1:18:02 I think it's kind of a giveaway. There are tells all over this particular little bit, but that is what they want you to think anyway. I'll have the clip for Thursday show speaking of scripts just so people know how it works Farid Zakaria, I know he's an annoying man. He had a an author on this morning which is why i can't didn't have a clip yet because it was on you were watching the breakfast nook television and he brings his guy on and this guy isn't new year number one New York Times bestseller as whole thing is to say oh yes you know the revolution is real its people are you know the young Arabs have tweeter and that's why it's all taking place and he says

Hillary Clinton's European Tour and Libya Strategy

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton visited Madrid to coordinate with Spanish Foreign Minister Trinidad Jimenez on the NATO mission in Libya. Clinton dismissed Muammar Gaddafi's threats to attack Europe, insisting that the mission is on track and Gaddafi must step down. The hosts mock the "austerity measures" being forced on Spain despite its 21% unemployment rate.

hillary clinton· libya· muammar gaddafi· spain· trinidad jimenez· nato

1:18:45 As Farik says, he does his whole intro. Good to have you here and the guy replies yes it's good to have you I mean it's good to be here because he's reading the script on the other teleprompter and he read Farik's line that's great and this is happening more and more by the way yeah so what happened on Jim Cramer's Mad Money too with some like There was a pharmaceutical guy, you know CEO from a pharmaceutical. Yeah It's good to have you here I mean it's good to be here Jim like they keep on doing it because they're reading the script Okay, so here's Lucifer now Lucifer is out on the road And she's touring around. Her hair, by the way is a mess! She needs to get back to Paris pretty quick. Oh yeah Because... and by the way I have to say women who are on the road it's very difficult and i do feel for her in that regard of being a hair person you know It's crappy so now she like tying it back and its slick but she looks like a guy

1:19:39 It's really hard for her to, you know... Because she doesn't have the Jean. Jean-Claude or whoever does her hair in Paris where she is going meet all the reporters and we'll have a... Let's have a café au lait and then we'll go to Jean Pierre and have a hard on But everything is good in Libya! It's A-OK We're rocking! We are right on track In Madrid, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton thanked the United States allies Spain for its contribution to the NATO-led force in Afghanistan and sent condolences for the Spanish troops who were killed in action there recently. Her meeting with Spanish Foreign Minister Trinidad Jimenez focused on bilateral issues.

1:20:34 Hold on, here it comes. Minister Trinidad Jimenez focused... Trinidad Jimenez? Don't you know Trinidad Jimenez? ...on bilateral issues but also on regional and global hotspots like Libya Clinton answered Muammar Gaddafi's threat on Friday to take the fight into Europe if NATO forces including Spain don't back off from Libya Now this is a very big deal and I have another clip that follows this So Gaddafi And by the way there are like 100 thousand people on the street in support of Gaddafi Of course you don't see this anywhere except the show notes at 318.nashownotes.com because of course, you know the people in Libya are tired of getting hellfire missiles up their butt all the time for no reason other than to steal the country and so Gaddafi is saying hey

1:21:21 Of course he's dumb, he's playing right into their hands but saying hey if you don't stop that we're gonna like start being terrorists. It's not a very smart thing He may not even be saying it for all I know they could be just a lie But anyway thats what now is propagating that instead of issuing threats, Gaddafi should put the well-being and the interests of his own people first. And he should step down from power and help facilitate a democratic transition that will meet the aspirations of the Libyan people." We appreciate Spain's contributions to enforcing the no-fly zone and the arms embargo. What is, is Spain flying with us? What are they doing? I don't know that they are maybe they're cheerleading, I have no idea Maybe they have pom poms by the sideline Oye! Oye! By the way Trinidad Jimenez is a socialist she's at Spanish Socialist Workers Party hmm she's the current foreign affairs minister

1:22:23 And you see what I mean? She's the same height, and they're shaking hands. You know because-I saw they wanted to like hug in front of the press but let's just shake hands It was weird! It was really it was funny actually The NATO led mission is on track The pressure on Qaddafi is mounting and the rebels have been gaining strength and momentum We need to see this through and we are in complete agreement that we will Stay the course.

1:23:01 And in an awkward moment, and then she like kisses him on the cheek. It was like he was bowing to it The guy broke his ankle or something. Whose socialist government has instituted austerity measures to combat Spain's deep economic crisis with 21% unemployment Clinton said Spain needs time and patience to get the economy back on track Shut up slave! You need patience So CNN had this report, which I think they screwed up. And this is one of the reasons why they're going to have to go into an all hot chick all bogus news format pretty soon We're patenting that all hot chicks 24 hours bogus news CNN To do this report about CNN about Gaddafi handing out a million

CHAPTER 16 / 34 Discussion

Gaddafi's Female Fighting Force

CNN aired a report showing Libyan women, including textile workers and grandmothers, training with AK-47s and machine guns to defend the country. The hosts question the mainstream narrative that Gaddafi is a hated dictator, arguing that a leader fearing his own people would not distribute a million rifles to the civilian population. The segment also mentions Gaddafi's famous female bodyguards and his Ukrainian nurse.

muammar gaddafi· libya· cnn· ak-47· female bodyguards

1:23:51 AK-47s. By the way, I don't think dictators typically do this I don't think so. It's not like the normal thing to do is like, hey you know you guys hate me here's a gun and a lot of the people taking up arms are women assembling a general-purpose machine gun with an unusual accessory at hand The women all the region have come to Banwalid to prove their loyalty and to show off their weapons Which they're not afraid to use These are people's sisters, grandmothers and mothers but in Mama Gaddafi's Libya they are a fighting force.

1:24:33 From a young age, girls get military training in schools here. But with the war on Libya's embattled leader has called for fresh volunteers and women of all ages are signing up like 40-year old textile worker Fatima Masood I train after work at four she says I go to train on using weapons I like it and i liked the training and defending my country now I'm training other women to use their guns So why do you think that the CNA is showing this? Are they really just not on board with the program I think it's a but i think you're right. It was just a mistake and then they talk about Gaddafi bodyguards he has these female kind of hot bodyguards

1:25:16 And by the way, one of them took a bullet for him. It's not they're not bogus and these women... Well he used to always have that hot Ukrainian nurse with him all the time I remember the memos from WikiLeaks which we still haven't heard about since. No because Julian Assange is... Did their job thats why Yeah thats right done Anyway so I question whether a dictator who was hated and needs to be ousted because he was going to massacre his people. I question whether that kind of guy would give guns to all the women, and they would gladly pick them up and go fight against the rebels.

1:25:56 Surprise. Logical! Surprised that this was on CNN Why doesn't somebody mention this on one of these shows? And well, the whole clip is rather long and boring but then it comes back and they no commentary boom right to the next thing And it was yeah I was very sure another wolf blitzer thing Anyway so then... Maybe they slipped in there give us you know let some people say hey think about this and they just throw it in They couldn't say anything Well they definitely didn't It's very subversive So then Lucifer goes to Lithuania, which of course has its own problems with Belarus. Because everything's falling apart because everyone is like getting screwed and there she sat with the Lithuanian I think prime maybe it was also the foreign minister or another woman which is very interesting as he a lot of powerful women today so we got women screwing over countries and women picking up arms to fight back

CHAPTER 17 / 34 Discussion

Syrian Unrest and Organized Resistance

Hillary Clinton issued a stern warning to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, stating that the government is "running out of time." She threatened that unless a transition to democracy begins, the regime will face "increasingly organized resistance." The hosts interpret this as an admission that the US is actively organizing and supporting the rebels on the ground in cities like Aleppo and Damascus.

syria· bashar al-assad· hillary clinton· damascus· aleppo· protests

1:26:55 This is a very interesting development that I, that needs further investigation. It'd be a meme! And Lucifer talks about... and she's- I mean it went in Lithuania and your hair is shit Let's talk about Syria doesn't appear that there's a coherent and consistent message And by the way listen if you if you take our position That this is being set up and the jackals are in and it's all this so, you know And as the Syrian president says hey we've got like armed thugs coming in and riling people up This is not us. This is thugs and the present of Syria keeps saying it I

1:27:33 You know, so you can call him a liar like his dad. He's a guy who is a liar! You also could say well maybe there is something to that but listen how she speaks and if you take our position which is often contrary to what being propagated it almost like she just laying all out. We know what they have to do. They must begin a genuine transition to democracy and allowing one meeting of the opposition in Damascus is not sufficient action toward achieving that goal So I am disheartened by the recent reports of continued violence on the borders and in Aleppo where demonstrators have been beaten, attacked with knives by government organized groups and security forces. Now organized groups and security forces? With knives why does she slip in the knives thing this is new I haven't heard about the knife so something that's coming up with knives

1:28:37 It is absolutely clear that the Syrian government is running out of time. There isn't any question about that. No question, they're running out of time no question They are either going to allow a serious political process that will include peaceful protests to take place throughout Syria and engage in a productive dialogue with members of the opposition and civil society, or they're going to continue to see increasingly organized resistance. Organized by whom?

1:29:17 So she's threatening Assad and saying either you get on board with our program or you'll see more organized resistance. Now, you can think of it as protesters slash rebels because they will go from protesters to rebels just like Libya Or you can think it's a threat her saying hey You know what if you don't get on board we're gonna have more these that organize guys We're gonna send in. We regret the loss of life And we were so sorry that we killed some people. Regret the violence But this said this choice is up to the Syrian government and right now We're looking for action not words, and we haven't seen enough of that So you know what I mean if you listen the way she says it. It's almost like a threat. It's a threat And now I'm beginning to think that you know when you started the show off You read from this new document

1:30:08 and you know the uh... and that there are counter-terrorism document yeah i think it's a historically syria and libya libya to a lesser extent although he got the bigger publicity for being at terrorist state Syria was in major terrorist state. Yeah, Damascus right? I remember growing up. It was Damascus. Right and they would just everyone had to leave Syria alone it'd be hands-off you couldn't do what's going on now you couldn't do it because you'd end up with a You know the Empire State Building have a bomb in the basement. I mean that's how these guys are all over the place They were very dangerous now What was Lucifer let me let me just finish this one thought

US Tech Companies Training Foreign Activists

In Vilnius, Lithuania, the US State Department teamed up with Microsoft, Twitter, Facebook, and Skype to train 80 activists on how to bypass government censorship. This program, referred to as "CAMP," is part of a broader effort to use social media as a tool for overturning foreign governments. Critics argue this is a "cheap way" to incite regime change by training local populations to do the work of intelligence agencies.

microsoft· twitter· facebook· skype· lithuania· social media· activism

1:30:46 which is that now that we've set up this anti-terrorist mechanism that is onerous, I mean it's like you know anybody looks cross eyed at you they're a gitmo. I think we put ourselves in a position where we can now take on Syria and Libya without worrying about them threatening US interests. I think they are between Iraq and a hard place. Lebanon next! Very nice, Iraq and a hard place So what was Lucifer Hillary Clinton doing in Lithuania? Hairdresser. No no no they don't do good hair there I don't think so yeah From Bloomberg, I report Secretary of State Lucifer Hil... oh sorry i have the no agenda BS filter on uh secretary of state lucifer hillary clinton and us companies including redmond Washington based Microsoft Corp

1:31:38 are teaming up to teach activists how to protect themselves from official harassment as they use social media to organize protests. What? Quote, we have... We have to be willing to keep coming up with new ways of getting over under and around and through the walls and other techniques that are used to prevent people from freely communicating Clinton said yesterday at a training session in Vilnius Lithuania for about 80 activists Clinton visited the training session, which her department calls CAMP as part of a three-day trip to Hungary and Lithuania where she attended a meeting of the Community Of Democracies. A group more than 100 nations that work to promote freedom So we are training Training people you get the ten points for today's show with that find beauty it's pretty amazing isn't it?

1:32:32 That's astonishing. French President Nicolas Sarkozy technology advisor was there to coach participants, wait a minute the guys who are screwing over Libya? His technology adviser was there to coach participants along with executives from San Francisco based Twitter Inc and Palo Alto California based Facebook Inc Microsoft and Luxembourg based Skype Technologies SA This is a beautiful article, thank you Bloomberg. Unbelievable! Techno experts being trained? Are we so stupid? Yeah, trained to cause trouble. It's the cheap way of doing it. You want to overturn the government? Hey put these guys in there and work for free. Meanwhile... We have the phony lesbian blog, the phony Twitter people. Hashtag pound with number sign hashtag number sign. And you know what they should train Jay Carney

UK Public Sector Strikes and Ed Miliband

Over 750,000 public sector workers in the UK went on strike to protest pension reforms and austerity measures, disrupting schools and airports. Labor leader Ed Miliband is criticized for a "robotic" BBC interview where he repeated the same scripted response four times regardless of the question. The hosts describe Miliband as an "MKUltra controlled slave" for his refusal to deviate from his talking points about the strikes being "wrong."

ed miliband· london· strikes· pensions· bbc· austerity· labor party

1:33:38 Because he needs some Twitter training. Hashtag number sign Alright, let me show you some MKUltra This is how... and then we need to thank some more people This is a... Let me get it all set up here So did you know that there were 750 thousand people on strike in Gitmo Nation East In the Kingdom of Great Britain? Actually I did but I saw almost no reports on it Zero You saw no reports anywhere and we know why Because it's one thing to see brown people in the sand shooting AKs into the air with a towel on their head. It's like, I don't identify with that! But when you see white people walking on the street going like stop screwing us because the Brits are now getting screwed with austerity measures work longer slave and this by the way is government workers This is exact same thing as Greece exact same thing

1:34:35 Government workers, no pensions for you. Less money for your pension. Work longer. Take a pay cut and shut up! So here's this report This is actually from Euronews and interestingly enough. They include a quote from the BBC From Miliband as it did David Miliband he He's the opposition he's with labor Yeah, and it's one quote but then I find on BBC I find the entire interview this guy is he doesn't blink And he's MKUltra. Well first, this is a one minute clip of the protest and how the slaves are getting screwed. Sorry Get One Nation East slaves sorry London has filled with thousands of striking teachers and civil servants marching in protest at pension reforms it's day one of a 48-hour strike that's closed or disrupted 85% percent of schools emptied government offices and caused travel delays to airports and ports

1:35:35 Government austerity policies have slashed jobs and wages. Now pensions are under attack, and that's a sacrifice too far for the strikers. There is a bit of anger in the sense that people who got us into this mess are not suffering at all yet You know, people who are committed to society and communities are. I love this quote... Well it's just a bit of anger you know? It's not really quite nice at the moment but pretty soon I'll have to take my pitchfork and shut up your arse! The government says the strike is wrong so does the Labour opposition The biggest public sector union Unizin is not taking part It wants to see the outcome of negotiations even if they are reportedly not going well

1:36:13 These strikes are wrong at a time when negotiations are still going on. But parents and the public have been let down by both sides because the government has acted in a reckless and provocative manner After today's disruption, I urge both sides to put aside their rhetoric get round the negotiating table and stop it happening again This strike involves about one in eight public sector workers but other unions are preparing strike plans should talks break down the government may face a testing summer of industrial action. So you heard Miliband there, right? And he said... Here's his message The strikes are wrong People need to come to the table and negotiate Right

1:36:57 So now this quote, I'm not sure if there's a deal between the BBC and Euronews but it was from this BBC interview. And it's two-and-a-half minutes but it's worth it If you stick with it you just go oh my god this guy is a robot MKUltra controlled slave non blinking robot The interviewer asks him Four questions, his answer consistently remains the same. These strikes are wrong at a time when negotiations are still going on but parents and the public have been let down by both sides because the government has acted in a reckless and provocative manner after today's disruption I urge both sides to put aside the rhetoric get round negotiating table and stop it happening again. I listened your speech in Wrexham you talked about the Labour Party being a movement lot of people in that movement

1:37:48 of people who are on strike today and they'll be looking at you and thinking well, you're describing these strikes as wrong. Why aren't you giving us more leadership as a leader in the labour movement? At the time when negotiations are still going on I do believe these strikes are wrong And that's why say both sides should after today's disruption get round negotiating table put aside their rhetoric and sort the problem out because the public and parents have been let down by both sides The government has acted in a reckless and provocative manner I spoke to Francis Mawr for I Came Here and the tone he was striking was a very conciliatory one. Do you think there's a difference between the words they're saying in public and the attitude they're striking in private, in these negotiations? Are their negotiations in good faith would you say? What I say is that the strikes are wrong when negotiations are still going on but the government

1:38:34 has acted in a reckless and provocative manner in the way it's gone about these issues. After todays disruption I urge both sides to get round the negotiating table, put aside the rhetoric and stop this kind of thing happening again." So this guy now asked three times... This is the exact same answer Wait! Let's do it one more time! It's a statement you've made publicly and you'll make to me and this will be broadcast obviously but have you spoken privately to any union leaders and express your view to them on a personal level, would you say? What I say in public and in private to everybody involved in this is get round the negotiating table put aside the rhetoric and stop this kind of action happening again. These strikes are wrong because negotiations are still going on

1:39:18 But parents and the public have been let down by the government as well, who've acted in a reckless and provocative manner. Wait a minute! Let's try the personal angle maybe we can get something out of him? Well here are some interesting things... One it seems like he has about six clauses that he jumbles He moves the first part to Part 2, but it's the same exact words. If you take the first speech and chop it up and then move Part 1 over to Part 3 and then move Part 4 to the beginning... And then you can restructure the answer but its' the same exact words in the exact answer Why doesn't the interviewer call him out? Well wait a minute he has a new angle!

1:39:57 I'm going to try the personal approach, maybe i can get something new. Why does he give you should have given up and say hey look you've said the exact same thing three times in a row? I'm asking you a direct question! I don't want to hear that these strikes are wrong and people should get around the table into whatever those other four are This interviewer is terrible. He's not jumping on this guy for not saying anything except this one rote... This guy, this Miliband guy is bad! He's a bad person. Your parent or other parents watching this would be parents Has it affected you personally? This action has it affected your family your friends I mean and

1:40:33 What is the net effect of that going to be on parents having to take a day off work? Well, this is great. I mean let me try the personal angle has it affected you as a parent because you've got kids and you know those school teachers are striking what do you have to say about that David Miliband? I think parents up and down the country have been affected by this action And its wrong at a time when negotiations are still going on Parents have been let down by both sides Because the government has acted in a reckless and provocative manner I think that both sides should, after today's disruption get around the negotiation table put aside the rhetoric and stop this kind of thing happening again. Please take a look at this clip in the show notes 318 dot NA show notes dot com Unbelievable! What a douchebag give him a douche bag will ya? DOOCHEBAG You have to look at this clip because he doesn't blink

James Briscoe is officially knighted into the No Agenda Roundtable for his $1,000 contribution. The hosts discuss the high quality of the tungsten rings provided to knights and mention that many producers are now using bank "bill pay" systems to send automated monthly checks, bypassing PayPal. A shout-out is given to Alexandra for creating new CSS templates for the show's web presence.

Whatever you choose

1:51:03 And I got a brand new picture at rings.nashownotes.com that looks really beautiful. These rings are so nice and it lasts, and my finger is not turning black or anything like that? I was worried about that you know it's like you know that can happen sometimes with inferior products. Yeah on brass rings its a real problem yeah but this is...it's a good product and Mickey keeps wearing her she actually likes it as a style statement and thats saying alot. That's interesting idea well maybe it's more appropriate for women Interesting. As a style statement? Well, she's wearing it as a style statement! I remember her wearing big watches now too if you notice this... Oh that's what Lucifer is wearing the big men's Rolex have you seen that? Yeah. You got like the big yeah the big one yeah there's that's uh i think that's the $20,000 Rolex and I feel so sorry for

1:51:52 I want to mention something based on the payments thing. There's a number of our donors, producers and listeners who have gone to the bank they've set up a payment program so they don't go through PayPal and we get these these automatic checks there the Bank of America's that bill processing Payment Center in Sioux Falls sends these checks out and you get this check from the bank pay electronic comm as another thing that apparently does this. And, so when I go to the boxers about then therefore I'm telling everybody one from Michigan is $5

1:52:28 I think it costs more to mail the check, but it's from the credit union. And it comes routinely once a month and shows up and makes it very easy for people so they don't have to deal with PayPal or having them feeling obliged to write a check and mail themselves is all done by the bank. Well that's interesting! Yeah, check with your bank to see if this is doable. Well anyway you can support us its really appreciated and I want to say big shout out to Alexandra Who has been just on fire creating CSS templates and hopefully he or someone else can fix the podcast licenses. Because I hate that people have their license and it just doesn't look right, you know? It's got to be official with our signature and everything... And somehow I screwed that up. Well hey John! You know i think it's time once again...

CHAPTER 22 / 34 Discussion

New York Times Gun Control Meme

The New York Times is running a major feature on the intersection of guns and mental illness, which the hosts identify as a new coordinated meme to attack the Second Amendment. A bizarre sub-story claiming John Lennon was a "closet Reaganite" is debunked by the audience, who point out that Lennon was killed in 1980 before Reagan took office. The hosts suggest this narrative is designed to convince right-wingers to support gun restrictions.

new york times· gun control· john lennon· ronald reagan· jared loughner· mental illness

1:53:16 That's right everybody, on Sunday John hums the Sunday Times as he deconstructs the paper of record of the United States of Vietnam Nation. I have it right here so you can hear. He has got the paper and is going to tell you... I'd just like to look at the front page because there is a new meme afoot! Oh! And I've noticed this huge huge piece in the front page of New York Times that carries inside and inside on Page 12, Pages 12 & 13 are completely entire pages filled with this particular story And I think we touched on this in a show or two ago and I've realized that this is a major meme the New York Times is not triggering it, its being triggered by someone else but it is the following. I just read the headline atop... there's a head and subhead mixing guns and mental illness Oh! Jared Loughner throwback very nice

1:54:06 and as more states restore rights, processes often haphazard. And they show up the inside spread on page 12 it shows all these insane you know kind of... They're not like drooling insane type things just look like people that are slightly about to kill you. I'm going to the online version now let's see if they have the same picture. They got a bunch of these people. I see this guy in the car Yeah but there is just head shots Joshua St Clair just had his gun rights restored after he looks like Loughner with the shaven head yeah oh my goodness so we have this kind of so this meme and by so I was thinking about this new meme about no we shouldn't we got to have more gun control because nut balls are bought. So here's though, here is the interesting one that this story crops up and it gets played big and you've heard it I've heard it didn't think about as part of this structure but now realize that it

1:55:02 John Lennon was a closet Reaganite. Yeah, I saw this! John Lennon was a closet Reaganite... What is it? Who killed John Lennon?! A mentally ill person! Nut ball! So you write wingers who don't have any... You know you've got the same rationale as us left-wingers to do something about nut balls because your... Because John Lennon, you know you liked him he was a Reaganite and he was killed by a mentally ill person we've got to do something about it that the John Lennon story is right in the wheelhouse. I'll kick it up one notch, so what you're saying

1:55:41 All of the right-wing nutjobs who love our Second Amendment and want everyone to continue to have the right to bear arms, they are now being threatened by the left wing nutjobs who are saying hey John Lennon was a right wing nutjob and he got killed by a crazy guy with a gun. Right? Yeah! Kick it up one notch... Hey we're gonna kill you That's what I think they're saying. Hey, i'm gonna shoot you! All right? It was possible like that yeah it was like let's just cut to the chase we're going to shoot you because we're crazy We're all... They're all crazy they're all nuts so uh so this is just another we've talked about this every so often and attack on the second amendment because we really don't want to arm our own public even though

1:56:30 I don't know, if you go back just about a hundred years these guys...you could have a cannon. And of course law enforcement would back off back then and now they're coming with the SWAT team and killing anyway so that you can even be armed enough. Interesting comment from the chat room John Lennon was killed in 1980 that was before Reagan was inaugurated Was John Lennon killed in 1980? So this whole, I never even thought of that angle. Let me just check... So the whole thing, the Reaganite thing was just bullcrap?! Lemme see! You know what, well there's only one thing we can do! Yeah December 8th, 1980 Oh my god BNT good call Wow we should have caught that one ourselves i feel bad yeah well i was uh 12

1:57:27 So you should have caught it and I do the one. I mean, I know but I don't remember when John Lennon was so wait So wait a minute this is crazy number Reaganite When was Reagan inaugurated wasn't it in? 84 81 81 so he was a Reaganite that's correct who was president before Carter Wow So back to my theory, we're gonna kill you. That's what it is like here's his bogus story about him being a Reaganite Wow who wrote that was at the New York Times who wrote that as well? It was all over the place I know but was it The New York Times who wrote it? This is interesting oh I like this Oh my god do we have the best audience or what? No no thats what we do We have a conversation with our audience Yeah on the Twitter We don't ignore these you know its just

CHAPTER 23 / 34 Discussion

Mission Impossible Ghost Protocol and IMF

The recent headlines involving the International Monetary Fund (IMF) are jokingly linked to the promotion of the new Tom Cruise movie, "Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol." In the film's trailer, the IMF is "disavowed" after a bombing at the Kremlin. The hosts suggest that real-world news events are often used to subconsciously prime audiences for upcoming cinematic releases.

tom cruise· mission impossible· imf· kremlin· movie promotion

1:58:19 Anyway, so that's kind of the anyway back to the New York Times front page just to read off a few other things going on they have The crumbled case adds two doubts on prosecutor. This is the they're going after Cyrus Vance at The New York Times So there being kind of behind the attack Mm-hmm By the way can I just interrupt your flow for a second? Yeah, I think I found the true reason behind this whole this whole Dominique Strauss con IMF thing and Alright, I mean what whenever we have news. What is it usually to do cover up something else? No well that and Promote promote a new movie oh yeah, there's always a new movie. Well here it is An hour ago the bomb blew up the Kremlin The president has initiated ghost protocol the entire IMF has been disavowed

1:59:19 Now I've been ordered to take you to Washington where they will hang the Kremlin bombing on you and your team. Unless, you were to escape after assaulting Brandt and me But if anyone of your team is caught, they will be branded terrorists out to incite global nuclear war. There you go! That's Tom Cruise the new Mission Impossible movie The IMF is responsible for blowing up the Kremlin So uh congratulate Tom Good catch Tom good work It just like every- this show that we do it just- it's a ridiculous show This stuff keeps coming up over and over again

2:00:00 It's unbelievable. That's gonna be probably a good movie! Yeah, it's gonna be a hit of course they've got it all set up IMF yeah I heard about that so when there is something with the IMF...yeah let's go to that new Tom Cruise movie cool So, nothing else really. Taking lead Iraqis... Oh this is a good one! This is the only other good front page story. The rest of them are kind of fluffy but the uh..this is a good one. Because we've heard this meme creeping up on us I think we played some clips from last couple shows and but here's the headline taking lead the Iraqis hope US commandos stay

Hawaiian Stargate and Weather Modification

Video from the WM Keck Observatory in Hawaii reportedly shows a "stargate" or expanding light circle in the sky. This is discussed alongside a New York Times article claiming airplanes are "punching holes" in clouds and causing snow. The hosts dismiss the airplane explanation as a cover-up for HAARP waves and other atmospheric experiments.

stargate· hawaii· keck observatory· harp· weather modification· snow

2:00:37 Oh, please stay! Please stay. Don't leave us! Halliburton? Blackwater? Please don't leave- I'm gonna crotch! That's great... Alright that time closing the paper. John's gonna hum the Sunday signs Ah yes John well uh hate to throw it at you but i got some actual video now from the WM Keck Observatory A Stargate has opened up over the Hawaiian Islands. And you can see it on the video. And you know what's gonna come out? Fish?!

2:01:19 fish. No, it's in the sky this is not in the water like the Gulf of Aden. They're going to release some CO2 Yeah there's a couple... you can see that video I got on the show notes 318 dot NA show notes dot com very interesting Well there's another meme going around which I've noticed and there was an article in The Times the other day And by the way it says the Saturday times that seems to have most of the hidden messages and I think that's when my paper was stolen a couple weeks ago because they didn't want me to know about I'll just play a little of that game for a minute. Anyway, there's a bunch of these stories about how airplanes are punching holes! Oh yeah and it's causing it to snow It's causing it the snow and is creating these weird anomalies in the sky Wait a minute... These airplanes have been around for awhile Why is this happening now? Because they are trying to cover up the harp waves that are actually creating these holes

2:02:11 It's like, wasn't it like Popular Science or something who came out with this? Oh yeah. I've been flying, I've flown jets, I've flown props, I've flown turbo props... First of all you don't fly vertically and like pow! I just popped up like a rocket to create this hole and then it starts snowing. It is unbelievable. This is the biggest lie. Airmen around the world are guffawing at this. Like really?! That's what makes it snow. It's cover-up, it's a cover up of harp Alright so what is the deal with the stargate? You can see on the video from the observatory...it's like this big circle and just whoosh! It expands. Crazy. It's in the show notes And whats the point of it? For the fish I can see that we need more fish Tuna So if you are a greenie in Germany

German Green Party and Toxic Dildos

The German Green Party is highlighting the presence of carcinogenic phthalates in sex toys as a consumer protection issue. According to Der Spiegel, these plasticizers are linked to hormone imbalances, diabetes, and infertility. The hosts mock the story as a desperate PR stunt by the Green Party to gain traction by linking sexual health to their environmental agenda.

germany· green party· der spiegel· phthalates· carcinogens· sex toys

2:03:11 and of course we're against all things oil. How do you bring the message home? How do you really say, you know... We've got to stop our obsession with oil What is the one thing that would really get people's attention? Bono Close! Sexual health as a consumer protection issue Many dildos and other sex toys like vibrators and anal plugs contain high levels flatulates, phthalates and other carcinogenic substances and toxic materials according to Der Spiegel. So the government... How do you pronounce it? Phthalates are a class of plasticizers

2:04:04 Substances are added to plastic to increase its flexibility and durability. But some of these substances were suspected of causing disturbances to hormone balances! Yeah, like apparently if you put a butt plug in your rectum... You become bicurious Is that what you're doing? Also it's linked to infertility diabetes and obesity Oh please Hey honey get that out of there I don't want to be fat The Green Ministers of Parliament said in their written... I suppose if you leave it in there and never take a crap, you'll probably gain weight. This is crazy! What are those dildos made out of wood? Who comes up with this bullcrap?! The Green Party! The Green Party's... no wonder they're considered lunatics. I just want to see the PR company who came up with this one. Hello!?

2:04:53 We have a very good idea for the Green Party. Look, we don't have a big budget but we think we can get a lot of traction if we tell people that their dildos are causing them diabetes Great idea France! This is very good let us call Der Spiegel and get an article Crazy huh? That's a great catch I want to say hi to Daniel Wheaton Now Daniel of course is, remember the kid who did the essay and with all the no agenda memes? With all the memes in it. Yeah yeah so he has been accepted to a number of universities including The University of Nebraska-Lincoln and he received an email that I would like...that he shared with us and i would like to share with our listeners Congratulations Daniel on your acceptance to University of Nebraska Lincoln

University of Nebraska Intelligence Recruitment

A listener named Daniel Wheaton received a recruitment email from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln's "Great Plains National Security Education Consortium" immediately upon his acceptance. The email encourages high-achieving freshmen to pursue careers in the 16 government intelligence agencies. The hosts express concern that universities are selling student lists to the government to recruit "moles" and spies at a young age.

university of nebraska-lincoln· daniel wheaton· intelligence community· recruitment· mark warburton

2:05:52 As you begin your academic career, we at the Great Plains National Security Education Consortium would like to encourage you to start thinking about a professional career in intelligence after you graduate. By intelligence we mean collecting analyzing and presenting critical national security information to the president and other parts of the executive branch and military 16 government agencies provide such intelligence and they employ thousands of people in some of the most interesting important jobs you can imagine The University of Nebraska-Lincoln has a special program that finds high achieving students like you, Daniel and helps prepare them for career of public service in the intelligence community. And it just goes on from there... They're recruiting kids as they are... So the college is selling their freshman acceptance... Hello everybody!

2:06:47 Selling their freshman list. What you're saying is in the breath of University, Nebraska and other schools Let's be clear are selling the information to our government intelligence agencies And here's the beers art Here's the Pearson profiles or some kids? You might be interested in yeah, and I told the kid I said Daniel go for it You got a enroll in this class. I know what I would too. I know he's gonna do it oh It's just... Why not? Yeah, no it'll be great. The Intelligence Community Scholar Program a special career mentoring opportunity that helps you focus your academics on national security and intelligence introduces you to the intelligence... If they do their job right he'll now then become a mole spying on us I'm just gotta give you a little injection kid that won't hurt

CHAPTER 27 / 34 Discussion

Pharmaceutical Patent Extensions and Mitch McConnell

The House of Representatives passed an amendment to a tax bill designed to help a single pharmaceutical company maintain control over a blood-thinning drug patent. While CBS News framed this as a failure of the Republican party, the hosts argue the real story is the systemic corruption of Congress extending patents to prevent cheaper generic drugs from entering the market. Senator Mitch McConnell is criticized for dismissing public disapproval of Congressional ethics.

mitch mcconnell· pharmaceutical industry· patents· cbs news· tax bill· generic drugs

2:07:42 So the douchebag who sent that email is Mark Warburton, from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln Great Plains National Security Education Consortium. I find that pretty disturbing...that we're doing that. My favorite portion usually of this show is often exposing the pharmaceutical companies And what have we been saying continuously about, what is the biggest problem they have? Is that all their patents are expiring. That's why they're coming up with new great bonanza revenue streams such as vaccines which aren't really vaccines that you don't really need because you're not sick but you won't get addicted to smoking or something like that

2:08:29 and this is a multi-billion dollar bonanza. However... Right, and because of the government or great government they've made it so these people are not subject to being sued if these vaccines kill you So CBS has a story and it's kind of interesting because they focus on how evil the pharmaceutical companies are but really it's Congress who were just kowtowing to one company, but they kind of go past the fact of what is really happening. That was an interesting clip. The amendment is adopted! Before leaving town for 10 days last week, the House of Representatives found time to pass an amendment designed to help a single drug company. It enjoys broad bipartisan support... The amendment ensures that the medicines company of Parsippany New Jersey keeps control of the patent for its blood thinning drug and

2:09:20 and in the most recent tax bill. But the CBS News poll shows that's exactly what Americans have come to expect, with a full three quarters of respondents saying large corporations have too much influence in American politics. I think that's pretty healthy The findings didn't trouble Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell. If you're looking for times when Americans were in love with Congress, they are few and far between. Ryan Alexander runs Taxpayers For Common Sense a government watchdog... What? So that's his defense? Hey they don't like us anyway so fuck them! It is a hit piece on Republicans is what this is

2:10:19 and uh... the whole thing is what that what is not being discussed here's the fact that congress he's now passing laws to extend patents for drugs it should be are going into the generic status that's really was happening here that's a story yeah but they don't really expose that part this is just like get you comfortable with the idea that it's happening but let's blame someone else well blamed republicans I want to thank producer Patrick Roddy who did a great job on... So he picked up this article from the, oh you're gonna hate these guys.

CHAPTER 28 / 34 Discussion

Organic Food Irradiation and Crop Protection Association

An article in "New Scientist" by Dominic Dyer argues that organic food should be irradiated following the E. coli outbreak in Germany. Dyer is revealed to be the CEO of the Crop Protection Association, which represents major chemical companies like Bayer, Dow, DuPont, and Monsanto. The hosts argue the E. coli scare is being weaponized by the chemical industry to destroy the reputation of organic farming.

organic food· e. coli· new scientist· dominic dyer· crop protection association· monsanto

2:11:01 It's the New Scientist. How do you regard newscientists.com? When I was in college, I used to love the magazine it tends to be a little sensational and it has political agenda which changes over the years so you never know where they're coming from at any given point in their history So they have a piece written by Dominic Dyer And here's what he says, the recent fatal E. coli outbreak centered on Germany has focused attention on the validity of claims that organic food is healthier and safer The outbreak has been traced to bean sprouts grown on an organic farm in Bienen-Büttel northern Germany

2:11:41 As new scientists went to press, 35 people had died in the outbreak and thousands more were made ill. As a result concern is growing over standards of microbiological food safety." And he goes on to say that what we really should do is irradiate organic food just make sure it's safe So who was Dominic Dyer that writes this in The New Scientist? He is the CEO of the Crop Protection Association Who is a member of the Crop Protection Association? I don't even answer it. BASF, Bayer Crop Science, Bayer Garden, Belheim Crop Protection, Certis Europe

2:12:23 Doff Portland, Dow Chemicals, DuPont UK, Fine Agrochemicals, Hedlund and of course our friends you got it. All those companies are interested in the betterment of our health And a new scientist is allowing this douchebag to say organic farming must ditch its irrational mistrust of science or risk losing its reputation There's no mistrust of science The global warmists were kept pushing, oh these people there you don't believe in global warming? You don't believe in evolution. I mean it's bullcrap! Use the broad brush to paint people with this sort of scandalous moniker or whatever you want to call it advertising It's annoying Well its beyond annoying, it is exactly what we predicted would happen

2:13:19 Is they're taking this to say and it's still the science is not exactly still in if this really I mean there's now it's cropping up in Egypt. It was you know from Egypt, like it could be a complete lie we know it was manufactured as E.coli and now its being used by new scientists propagated by new scientists and this fine organization what they called again got to look out for these guys The Crop Protection Association being used to... Hey, you got the Crop Protection Association coming over. Okay, the crop protection there we got a little bit of uh... We've gotta protect ya! Want your crop protected? We's got to talk some stuff here y'know? Um title 18 subsection 607 of US law Law Of The Land John are you familiar with that? Of course not Why not?! You should know this

CHAPTER 29 / 34 Discussion

Obama's White House Fundraising Violation

President Obama recorded a campaign video in the White House promoting a "dinner with Barack and Joe" sweepstakes for donors. This appears to violate Title 18 Subsection 607 of US law, which prohibits soliciting campaign donations inside government buildings. The hosts note that despite the clear legal breach, no authorities are likely to prosecute the President.

barack obama· joe biden· fundraising· white house· title 18· election law

2:14:13 I'll tell you President Obama is also not familiar with this. Title 18 subsection 607 states it is unlawful for the president to quote solicit or receive a donation of money or other thing of value in connection with a federal state or local election while on any room or building occupied in the discharge of official duties that means that this video where he invites you to participate in his sweepstakes Which was shot in the White House is breaking the law. Hi everybody! Hey everybody I've got a pretty big announcement about that contest the campaign is running where you can join me for dinner we're setting another place at the table for Joe Biden he wants to join us so this isn't so much dinner with Barack anymore as it is dinner with Barack and Joe

2:15:02 And to use one of his favorite expressions, that's a big deal. We're both really looking forward to it. Hope to see you soon." I think he said that's a big fucking deal Anyway so he records this in the White House and therefore breaks the law Yeah! That's against the law So who is going to prosecute this offense? Cyrus Vance Junior No one is gonna say anything No. But, you know... What difference does it make? We might as well just admit it we're heading toward a monarchy and I intend to spend the next couple years proving it. I do want to play one clip that relates back to our EU Germany France kind of there's a guy that showed up on Charlie Rose Oh! You mean this guy? Tell me about this sexuality It is in your DNA

CHAPTER 30 / 34 Discussion

European Union Instability and Angela Merkel

Author Timothy Garton Ash appeared on Charlie Rose to discuss the power dynamics of the European Union, describing Germany as the "engine" and France as the "driver." German public opinion is turning against bankrolling indigent nations like Greece, putting Chancellor Angela Merkel in a difficult political position. The segment also mentions a recent incident where Nicolas Sarkozy was physically grabbed by a citizen in a rope line.

angela merkel· nicolas sarkozy· european union· germany· greece· timothy garton ash

2:15:56 That guy, that guy. Yeah tell me about your sexuality The guys name is Timothy Gorton Ash He's British and he has a book out called Facts are Subversive and he has a very good take on the EU And where it's headed and then he also mentions France It just it's a little long the clips I think a minute-and-a-half two minutes But it really gives a good background for people to understand what you know why the EU falling apart? Why its gonna continue to fall apart because Germany essentially will not, you know Germany always wanted to take over Europe right? Now they actually have the opportunity to do it but they realize it's gonna cost them too much money.

2:16:37 and yeah unless they kill everyone with E.coli or they can kill everyone with E.coli, or enslave them and make them work for nothing which is what they'd rather do because that seems to be more of the style And so there's sense...so his thesis is that kind of blowing it cuz I just really don't want to deal anymore with the uh..with the problems and he doesn't say that the end is near but I think well we on our show here say the end is near but its nearer relative So let us see what he has to say. Basically, the markets are not convinced that Germany is prepared to save this thing. Germany is a key to the whole thing it's Europe's economic superpower and they are not convinced that Germany isn't prepared to do what it takes to save it if you had Germany

2:17:31 and the European Central Bank together saying this is what we're going to do whatever it is in technical terms, this is about perceptions about so to speak economic shock and awe then you would have saved it. Where do you think Angela Merkel is on this today? She is also in many ways the key person at the key to this crisis She has been a brilliant party politician. She's magnificent at winning elections, but in this crisis she's been following German public opinion rather than leading it and German public opinion says we have been bankrolling the European Union for far too long if we are not going to pay out these indigent Greeks were not going to work till age 70 so the Greeks can retire in 58 What role does Sarkozy play?

2:18:31 Well, it's very interesting because you know I'm quite apart from the entertainment value which he always has. Because as you know historically in the European project there was a German engine and the French driver right? And what happened now is that if the German engine has so to speak got up into the drivers seat and actually Sarkozy and the French are running along behind trying to keep the show on the road and trying to influence it Yeah, he does provide entertainment value. By the way do you hear that John? That's the last donation we're getting from Getmonation Deutschland after that! I think our listeners from Getmonation Deutschland know what is going on. Our donors from Deutschland are probably aware more than we are of what the problem is over there and it's...I don't think they're voting for Merkel. Did you see what happened to Sarkozy?

2:19:36 He got grabbed. Yeah, I know it's a big deal! Well did you see the video? No i did not see the video You see this hand come out of rope line and grab the guy and just pull him over It's funny because his security... SQUIRREL! It's not at all like our president's security that guy would have been dead And he's like, you've been shot in the head. A bunch of guys jumping around... The same thing happened to what's his name over in Italy? Yeah they threw a statue at his head. Oh crap that hurt. Bloody and everything. These Europeans are in trouble. Yep yeah I feel bad but it's not like we're not in trouble No we're in trouble too bud Hey so the TSA hit back blogger Bob did she see that

CHAPTER 31 / 34 Discussion

TSA Cancer Cluster Denials

The TSA's "Blogger Bob" issued a statement denying the existence of a cancer cluster among employees at Boston Logan International Airport. The agency refuses to allow officers to wear dosimeters, claiming the radiation levels from backscatter scanners are too low to warrant monitoring. The hosts compare this to the irradiation of organic food, suggesting the government is ignoring health risks to employees and passengers.

tsa· blogger bob· cancer cluster· boston logan airport· dosimeters· x-ray

2:20:26 No. TSA Cancer Cluster Myth Buster! Oh... And, and uh... Fact! Wait wait myth myth There is a TSA employee cancer cluster at the Boston Logan International Airport related to the back scatter body scanners. Fact. There is no relationship between any cancer diagnosis in Boston and the technology in the airport In fact, there were no body scanners at Boston Airport when the complaints were filed. Thank you Blogger Bob! Common questions... Why aren't your officers permitted to wear dosimeters? Well there's a really good reason for this says Blogger Bob

2:21:09 The emissions from our x-ray technology are well below the requirements that will require their routine usage. To help reassure passengers and employees that the technology is safe, however health physicists with the US Army have been conducting area dosimeter surveys at multiple airports nationwide." I feel safe now! So what he's saying is so as not to worry the human resources being radiated like organic bean sprouts That's why they can't wear dosimeters. How does that sound the logic is odd? Blogger Bob well at least he's got a job yeah Three more quick stories two more actually so And that Monaco guy got married Prince was his name I don't know and it was kind of weird You know there have been so many stories about him prince Albert, and it can hey

CHAPTER 32 / 34 Discussion

Prince Albert of Monaco and Sex Slave Allegations

Rumors surrounding the wedding of Prince Albert of Monaco suggest his bride, Charlene Wittstock, attempted to flee the country before being stopped at the airport. The hosts recall past allegations from supermodel Karen Mulder, who claimed that Prince Albert and Elite Models executives were involved in a sex slave ring. Mulder reportedly reached out to the show years ago, but the hosts declined to investigate further due to safety concerns.

2:22:15 So the woman, Charlene tried to run away and they stopped her at Nice Airport confiscated her passport said get back here. Like Katie Holmes! Yeah I'm telling you but there's been supermodels who are completely messed up and say that they use me as a sex slave that whole Monaco thing stay away from it is bad news over there But it's so funny, he was like yeah she tried to run away and then the French press is saying they stopped at the airport took away her passport. Get back there! You will marry the prince? Really? Yeah. That's a wild story. Let me see if there is anything... Well of course there are all kinds of weird stuff about him. He has illegitimate children you know his whole family of course is messed up

2:23:08 And it was the Karen Mulder who's, she actually reached out to me. She sent me an email but I didn't reply because I felt very uncomfortable. She went on television when she was in her early thirties, she claimed that she and other girls have been used as sex slaves by senior figures in the police and French government particularly in Monaco. She told the host of Toute le monde a parler Thierry Ardisson various people including top executives at our former agency Elite Models and Prince Albert of Monaco had tried to rape her And then of course you know people went now you're just crazy shut up your dumb nuts

2:23:47 Never taken seriously and she actually when we started this show a couple years ago She reached out to me said the show is perfect to expose this and I'm like, yeah. I don't want to get killed It's a perfect thing to get killed over. Yeah, I am okay you know, I don't mind reading reports from the news but I wanna get killed and This thing kind of slipped through Google voice search is now on your if you notice this This is not good. What, that Google voice search doesn't work or what? No if you go to google.com it now has a little microphone Oh it does on the online? Yeah! Oh so its turning on the mic Uh huh

CHAPTER 33 / 34 Discussion

Google Voice Search and Hemingway's FBI Surveillance

Google has introduced a microphone icon for voice search on its homepage, raising privacy concerns about constant audio monitoring. This is linked to a New York Times op-ed about Ernest Hemingway, who was long thought to be paranoid about FBI surveillance before his suicide in 1961. Declassified records later proved that J. Edgar Hoover's FBI was indeed bugging Hemingway's phones and following him, validating his "paranoia."

2:24:30 Uh-huh, so if you just if you go to Google let me see if I can do something now Okay. Well, I'm at Google. I don't see any Mike now If you go to google.com Yeah, I might Google you see that you see the search box Don't you see a little microphone there on the right? I got it. Oh Really? I got nothing. I got a little search box. I don't I said with little microphone Maybe just for you Mac users Hmm. Oh wait, I'm using Chrome of course chrome Yeah, so there might so that I didn't did by the way this computer in the studio Mm-hmm. I've never There's no I have no on the actual Computer that runs the show I have the web browser. I've never said anything else looks. I never wanted to screw it up I've never accepted anything never said yes install something and now there's a little microphone In this box So they are listening to me

2:25:24 Whenever they want, they just go ahead and turn it on. So I predicted this and they're listening to what you have on the TV And they're giving you ads but who knows what else are doing? Yeah I don't like it. No, so there's a good op-ed in the New York Times i think it was on Thursday maybe it was Wednesday whatever advertising anyway its um... It was about this guy who is Ernest Hemingway's buddy there's a lot of Hemingway memes going around including huge special on C-SPAN and the thing was apparently Hemingway his last days was freaked

2:26:06 that the FBI was following him around and they were in cars, and he had his house bugged, his phones bugged. He was getting depressed about it... And then he killed himself! Is he the father of Muriel Hemingway? Yeah. Well, actually I think she may be a daughter of his sister or something whatever the case it's not important but Hemingway is you know Ernest Hemingway the great novelist Oh that guy the old man in the sea That guy So anyway so he kills himself this gay guy who was writing the op-ed says you know I always thought well poor guy was going he was getting paranoid he was going crazy and then apparently did

2:26:43 one of those searches of the public records with the freedom and information act it turns out that he was being followed by the FBI in his phones are bugged. It was absolutely true. Yeah, it's all true because J Edgar Hoover Guy was nutty. Apparently got a hard-on for him because he lived in Cuba for so long, he was afraid that for some reason you know that maybe Hemingway is gonna propagandize the American public in some way shape or form and meanwhile of course I was thinking about this and it's like nowadays when the FBI is listening on a call or doing anything you just assume they're listening in on everything

2:27:23 I don't think Hemingway in today's market as it were would get freaky because it would be like assume that he was being followed and all the rest of it. That is how bad things have gotten How did he kill himself? Shotgun Oh really, you're sure he wasn't in the hot tub? There was no evidence of any wrongdoing It's not easy to kill yourself with a shotgun You gotta do it with your toe Is it actually... No, that's not true. I don't know if you've ever held a shotgun there's.. Yeah! I have a shotgun You could easily stick the shotgun in your mouth and reach down with your thumb and push the trigger It wouldn't- you don't need your toe The thing is not a blunderbuss It's not a very elegant way of doing it No but its thorough He put it his mouth and shot it? Is that the deal? Yeah So he was almost killed in a plane crash In Africa so he was in bad health

2:28:19 Uhh, 1959 moved from Cuba to Ketchum Idaho where he committed suicide. Is there- how come there's no- well come on book of knowledge! How'd he kill- I wanted to say- really shotgun? Let me see if uh... Shotgun. Oh yeah. Uhhh oh! Three months later Mary found him holding a shotgun one morning she called Dr. Savies who sedated him Uh huh. Nuh huh and had him admitted to the Sun Valley Hospital, there was a return to the Mayo Clinic for more shock treatments. Oh dude! Please this is total FBI hit Well it could be I'm not gonna say it's not a possibility We should have been doing this show in 1959

2:28:57 He was released in late June, arrived home in Ketchum. Apparently had three shock treatments Hemingway quite deliberately shot himself with his favorite shotgun he unlocked the gun cabinet went to the front entrance of their Ketchum home pushed two shells into the 12 gauge boss shotgun put the end of the barrel and do is mouth and pull the trigger and blew out his brains twice Wow hmm so anyways so the writer of the op-ed felt bad about about the fact that he doubted him Well, happy 4th of July everybody. That's a nice little... Yeah, that's just stirring up an Independence Day story for the fans! Thanks for the follow-up! Hey everybody that was lovely I do have an end of show clip I can take us even lower than that John I can bring us down even lower This is Peter King he is a congressman I believe or senator? Is he congressman?

CHAPTER 34 / 34 Discussion

Peter King and July 4th Terror Warnings

Congressman Peter King appeared on news programs to warn of potential Al-Qaeda attacks timed for the July 4th holiday and the 10th anniversary of 9/11. He used a recent security lapse involving a man with a wrong boarding pass to call for increased TSA funding and training. The hosts characterize King as a "douchebag" shill for the security-industrial complex, using fear to justify more intrusive government monitoring.

peter king· tsa· al-qaeda· july 4th· homeland security· psyops

2:29:56 He's a, I believe he is a congressman. Congressman and so apparently he's on the Homeland Security Committee Yeah, he's doing all these hearings about Muslims that you know be hiding behind the bed Now what he's doing is getting more money for the shills who are running all this bull crap That's what he's doing. How do we do that? Well, first we put some stupid Nigerian schmuck onto a plane with the wrong boarding pass and then go how could that happen?! How could it happen? Not only did he get through TSA security, when they shine the flashlight on your ticket and on your ID. But then he got on the plane with a wrong boarding pass for the flight from the previous day. How can that happen? Well it doesn't happen unless its all set up but what should we do about it? Oh I think we need more training and more material. And by the way... They're out to get us! In your mind if is what we are now told it is If all of the facts as we know them bear out What needs to happen

2:31:02 I believe there's a severe accident at 7th floor. I thought this was an end of show clip. Yeah, but we got to talk about it Okay, because you'll be laughing and if we just played at the end of the show then all the laughter will be gone okay, and I would believe that the TSA has to implement new training programs have regiments have much more inspections going on having your people from the Administration monitoring what's happening let these employees yeah? More more more more more vote him out more more More, more! Know that they really are being watched. I mean this is uh... This can't be allowed to happen We're talking about life and death here we're not talking about somebody having a cup of coffee Who died? Life and Death Not a cup of coffee This is life and death here No one's looking we're talking about You could have a plane full of people getting killed because the person makes such an obvious mistake Listen there's always going to mistakes made And you could have a forged ID and somehow the screener may miss it

2:32:00 You have, it's an obvious one of a wrong name, wrong date, wrong boarding pass and that's not picked up. That's a terrible sign and it's... A terrible sign of psyops! It encourages the enemy is now reassuring to the American people And part of the way our system works is expected to work Is that you turn to the enemy they have to believe that it's impossible to break through it They see something like this it encourages the enemy to try Let me ask you a broader picture as we head into this July 4th. Okay, this is my favorite! John what are you doing for July fourth? I'll be watching fireworks okay You're gonna have a cookout... you got any of the kids down? I suppose i should cook something on the barbecue to pollute the place. You got any family over? My daughter's here Oh that's nice. So Miki has like she promised me hot chicks in the hot tub Yeah promises promises Exactly if it happens all tweet photos but promises promises

2:32:55 But, you know apparently that's not what we should be doing. overly concerned or more concerned than you usually would be about this weekend? Are you feeling reasonably steady that this looks like a weekend that we're well prepared for?" I would almost say all of the above. I do feel reasonably secure because we have increased security as far as alerting local governments, alerting the private sector and there's no doubt that we do know that Al-Qaeda was talking more about attacking the US on symbolic dates

2:33:46 Also, in the lead up to 9-11, the 10th anniversary of September 11 we know that they are considering or trying to plan attacks. Now having said that I'm not aware of any particular attack that's being planned right now but we do know they are looking for symbolism They do want to do something dramatic before September 11 and obviously 4 July would be a prime time for that so everyone has been alerted to be on extra guards, to be much more careful and so because i feel reasonably secure but candy you know this is a dangerous world of higher is a dangerous enemy and we can never let our guard down there waiting for the weekend or the weekday or any time well we don't let our god now what we're having about the cure in the fourth of july their product somewhere to kill us and then i want to try it's another day these people never stop their evil and they were killed so while you have no barbecue john archives going to kill ya derbderb plotting that they've been ever rest not for a second

2:34:43 Get Peter King out of there, it's chill. The guy is bad Why don't you give him a douchebag? Yeah I'd be happy to. Douchebag! There we go. That didn't quite... Now i feel better Hey uh No Agenda producer update is coming on right after this program ends if you're listening at noagendastream.com Miss Mickey on the show with a Hot Pockets 2008 tour update And I believe maybe even Baroness Maggie Vincent of Virginia.
