1:48:03 It's just depressing. Well anyway, I get Al Gore's back in the news is bad enough. Well, they got it They got it. Yeah, really this the sex crazed poodle. They got they got to stop this woman in Australia I mean this is as far as I know the first country that is actually just like boom carbon tax and people are pissed off Yeah, well, maybe they'll vote her out instead of just grousing. This is the problem Everybody grouses and grouses or they go online and Twitter a complaint. Yeah, you know this is do anything So now I have a little round of my favorite person in the whole world. Actually three of my favorite women. If you could name my three favorite women in politics, who would they be? Janet Napolitano. No, okay, four. Lucy? Lucy's not a part of this. Really? She's one of your favorites. She's not a politician. What? She was a governor. She's not a politician now, she's a servant.
1:48:58 Try three others. Okay, let me think. How hard could this be? The chat room... Well Hillary would be one of them. Lucifer is one, yes. She's not a politician by your same standards that you just gave Janet. Okay. So who's... Alright, so we got one. We got one. We got one. Let's see. Oh, Michelle Bachman. No, no, no, no. Come on, she's one of your favorites. Nah, my favorite... the ones I love to hate. Michelle Bachman. Sarah Palin? Is she in there? No, no, no, no. Oh, please. No. High Priestess Baroness Lady Ashton. Oh yeah. Of Gitmo Nation, United States of Europe. And Susan Rice.
1:49:39 Buses in power no no no I only got the clips from these three I hate them all I hate them all I hate them all so I've got to know Lucifer and Kathy the high the high representative the high representative they did a press conference together and by the way it's like when you see these two standing next to each other please check it out in the show notes 3 2 1 dot NA show notes calm it's like I understand you can't see the reflection in a mirror. Neither of them. So my first clip is not from either of the women. This is actually from some representative from the State Department and he's at the New America Foundation.
1:50:25 Are you familiar with the New America Foundation? Yeah. What do they do? I don't remember. Well, they're either a right-wing or a left-wing promotion group. Right. Well, they're promoting... I think they're the right-wingers, aren't they? Well, Farid is on the board, Farid Zakaria. Oh, and then they're a bunch of douchebags. Yeah, total douchebags. And so they send some representative from Lucifer to go talk about what he's doing with the techno experts and a new meme! Another one a new technology and so this is a two minutes This guy blows the lid wide open on everything how we are actually training people to infiltrate the tweeters in the Facebook's and We're implementing all kinds of cool technology to do it, and he's just sitting there and saying it I get a lot of invitations to speak these days But most of them are a lot less cool than this one cool usually the cool invitations go to my colleague in Schuller Who's our resident techie in the Bureau of Human? Haki Takiocracy and labor
1:51:28 Ian's going to be speaking later this afternoon on a panel with Sasha Minrath about the Internet in a Suitcase program that we're doing. Have you heard of this? What? The Internet in a Suitcase program? Wow! Yeah, he comes back to it, he doesn't end around. There's all kinds of cool stuff. We got Internet in a Suitcase, everybody. Funding, and it's being done here at New America. I want to thank all... So, wait a minute. So New America is taking money and the number 70 million, he'll tell you in a second, and creating the internet in a suitcase. Also Steve Cole for his leadership in that effort.
1:52:08 I'm particularly pleased to be here today because as I look around this room there's so many leaders, policy makers, journalists, techies, activists. So that's everybody, techno experts. I see Rebecca McKinnon in the second row who's been such a leading voice on these issues for so many years and a great colleague. All of you have helped shape this conversation and many have helped governments, including our own, come to grips with the challenges and the opportunities that are posed by this transformational set of new technologies. We're excited about the Internet in a Suitcase project, one of a number of cutting-edge technologies and projects we're investing in. It's part of what Secretary Clinton called
1:52:54 calls a venture capitalist approach to addressing the wide range of challenges that democracy and human rights activists face in internet repressive environments around the world. Now what does that mean? A venture capitalist approach? to stopping regimes from being oppressive around the world. So does that mean they're investing and that there's going to be profits coming out of this? Or what exactly does that mean, investing, a venture capitalist approach? Well, I mean one possibility, I don't know what it means, but one possibility would be like you run a bunch of these scams in as many places as you can and see what happens because venture capitalists tend to... That runs scams, and if one sticks, right? They run 20 companies out there, hopefully one of them kills, you know. Right. And makes it up for all the rest. I mean that might be what they're doing. That's a good point. Listen to some of these, besides the internet and the suitcase, which we're very excited about, there's more.
1:53:52 By the end of this year, my bureau will have led the efforts within the US government to award $70 million in grants. We're supporting a dozen different circumvention technologies. We're supporting a panic button app for mobile phones. I need me that, a panic button. A slingshot program. Slingshot program. The hell's a slingshot program? They equip rebels with slingshots. Here's a rock, here's a twig with a rubber band. I don't know what a slingshot is. It's another thing. It's like all these cool technologies. Cool. Right. To identify censored content that users are searching for in a particular country. Oh. So it identifies censored content. And then flinging it back over the firewalls where ordinary citizens can get access to it. That sounds cool!
1:54:45 So, I guess it identifies censored content, then slingshots it back over the firewall. Could this guy use any more crazy metaphors? Training programs to help activists operating in repressive areas, to keep operating, thwart surveillance and protect their privacy. To date we've trained 5,000 activists. No, there you go. 5,000 activists. Okay, let's, here's a couple of things we should quickly make clear. Steve Cole's the guy who's the head of the of this New America Foundation. I want you to do two things. One, first of all go grab yourself and put on your screen a copy of the CIA logo. Oh no. Okay let's do it. CIA logo. Okay. Now in the CIA logo there's a star in the middle. Yeah now take a look at the New America Foundation logo. It's exactly the same star.
1:55:43 Steve Cole was a journalist, he was a journalist, professional journalist that apparently was I would assume was Probably offered a deal because he did do a book called ghost wars the secret history of the CIA and as you know You don't do a CIA book without the CIA approval. Yeah approval from an unapproved CIA book in this country or anyplace else or you'll be in the hot tub with the cover on It's not good and his whole background I mean is is interesting because he ends up in New Delhi, you know, and he's doing this so that Washington Post South Asia Bureau chief for some reason and
1:56:19 and so this is so this operation is more than just a liberal think tank is a think tank of some sort they call it a think tank but it seems to be out now front yeah for the CIA yeah and they even have the same elements of the logo. They put the same star on there just so in case you're too stupid to notice. Well I think it goes beyond that. I think there's a subliminal programming thing to it. Well notice the people that are in it. Now first we got the star and then we got Fareed Zakaria who's trying to subvert the US Constitution which concerns me.
1:56:55 tool go one day who now I know who this guy is Eric Eric Schmidt Fukuyama Eric Schmidt well Eric Schmidt makes sense to me yeah you gotta have the Googles on James Fallows of formal Federal Reserve vice chairman Roger Ferguson yeah so total total spoof organization And so this thing here with the internet in a suitcase is fascinating. Did you find anything on the internet in a suitcase? No, I haven't yet. You know what it is. It's just a... It's essentially what NGOs do. They package up an entire process. It's not just a cable modem?
1:57:35 This is a cable mode. There's a book that tells you what to do, how to do it, how to join, how to use... There's a whole bunch of articles here. Yeah? Austrian Funkfeuer helps American Internet in a suitcase project. censorship solution internet in a suitcase internet in a suitcase hopes to send repressive regime's packing oh that's a funny one oh that's a good US funds shadow networks builds internet in a suitcase this is from New America this is from their own website yeah well it's obvious what is the kit
1:58:13 And build your own internet in a suitcase. You think they would call it internet in a box? No, actually that's already been done. It's trademarked. It's trademarked, that's why they had that. Because a suitcase seems like an awfully big item. Does this is a carry-on item or is it like a... It's a disc. It's gotta be a disc with just a bunch of... Here's how you do your Twitter, here's how you do your Facebook, here's what you want you to write. You're checking here at this web address and write this stuff on your Twitter account when we tell you to. I think internet... By the way, if anyone you want to become a fake lesbian, go for it. It really works. Let's say internet in a box. Let's see who owns... You know, I'll bet you internet in a suitcase is so lame, it's ridiculous if we actually got to the bottom of it. Let me see who owns internet in a box.
1:58:56 It's the guys who internet in a box came I think it was spyglass who ended up selling their browser to Microsoft and it became Explorer Funny yeah, there was trademarks. They couldn't use that not so funny douchebags okay, so Now there's there's two clips Lucifer and and Kathy the high priestess Kathy come and they're the same height by the way and And except Baroness Ashton of course has no political background. She's just rich. She's born into the right family. She's rich and she's one of those people who look and you know she can't help it but I have to mention it because screw her. It's like someone slammed on the brakes and she hit the dashboard and her chin just got sliced off.
