About this episode

Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak broadcast from a log house in Shickshinny, Pennsylvania, to analyze the appointment of Kroll Associates Chairman William Bratton as a UK government advisor. Curry links the move to potential false flag operations and the legacy of security at the World Trade Center. The discussion connects global civil unrest to the collapse of a quadrillion-dollar derivatives bubble and the Infinite Growth Monetary Paradigm.

President Barack Obama’s Infrastructure Bank proposal faces scrutiny as a potential vehicle for increased toll roads and corporate repatriation of offshore dollars. In the 2012 race, Rick Perry enters the field despite his history as Al Gore’s Texas campaign chairman and his controversial support for forced Gardasil vaccinations. Meanwhile, the Syria Sanctions Act of 2011 is deconstructed as a strategic maneuver to isolate Iran, supported by a flashback to General Wesley Clark’s 2001 Pentagon memo regarding regime change in seven countries.

John C. Dvorak explores the bizarre world of human chimeras and the prevalence of counterfeit Chateau Lafite wine in China. The hosts mock Al Sharpton for a viral teleprompter failure and track the New York Times’ rebranding of Al-Qaeda to Kaida. The episode concludes with a look at electronic skin tattoos and the rise of military suicides at Joint Base Lewis-McChord.

CHAPTER 02 / 29 Discussion

Kroll Associates, William Bratton, UK Riot Provocateurs

Adam Curry analyzes recent comments by Nigel Farage regarding the London riots, suggesting they were a "false flag" operation involving agent provocateurs. The discussion focuses on the appointment of William Bratton, Chairman of Kroll Associates, as an advisor to the British government. Curry links Kroll to security at the World Trade Center on September 11 and presents a whistleblower account from Richard Andrew Grove regarding financial fraud and insider trading involving AIG and Marsh & McLennan.

04:20 Hi, um... There's something that I found John. Actually though- I discovered that Nigel Farage or Farage as we call him was actually sending us code in the previous episode and i didn't realize it until yesterday when I was prepping the show and I was floored! And the code he was sending is that the riots in Gitmo Nation East are partially false flag And certainly there were some agent provocateurs at work. And he told us and we didn't catch it immediately! Well, explain I shall So there's a couple of things that came out You know they have question time on the BBC and i'd actually read a lot about this People saying that the cops were just standing by not doing anything They would just like you know they were told to stand down which by the way sounds a lot like some other

05:19 events we've had in recent history. So this is the first thing I heard and this is from BBC Question Time, this is a question from the audience. I put it to you that decision was taken deliberately to have lax policing in order to after the events that happened push more rules forward stop protests, stop working class having a voice and to... Go on, finish up one. I think that...I drove around many areas of South London on this Monday night where i live and there weren't any police anywhere and I cannot believe in five different quite large areas there were absolutely no police. I saw crimes being committed. I cannot believe they were none. Alright? It was deliberate By the way it's driven not drove

06:05 But anyway, so I've been reading a lot about this and when the first looting and riots started there were some reports of this looks organized etc. And that kind of fell away in the media really quickly But then I read this story yesterday and there was an associated video, also from the BBC. Let me see if i can bring up the story... The story is Kroll Chairman William Bratton in talks with British government to become an advisor on preventing gang-related violence and creating safer communities So let me play this short little clip from this chairman of the Kroll Consultants Inc

06:45 This morning I had a conversation with Prime Minister Cameron in which he thanked me for my agreeing to work with the British government as they deal with the issues of gang crime, gang violence and gang intervention. And looking forward to the opportunity to work with them on those issues. Well I think part of what the government is going to do is take a look at what worked and didn't work during the course of last week My assignment is to focus more on the issues of the American experience dealing with gangs and what we may be able to share with them that might help them prevent similar activities in the future. So then I'm like, oh that's interesting this guy is gonna... where did he come from all of a sudden? so I look up Kroll you can look it up at krollworldwide.com

07:38 I'm like, whoa! Hold on a second. These are the guys that were doing the security for the World Trade Centers on 9-11. These are the guys that were in charge of Giuliani's bunker in the World Trade Center and they also are well known as the spies of Wall Street so... Oh, I'm like wow, that's interesting And then I think, wait a minute. Didn't we three days ago hear the name Giuliani fall? So I go back into the show notes and to the assets and here's Nigel Farage. "...do with them! Do we put him in prison do we let him straight back out again?" Um...and also what will happen is there is going to be debate about policing um..and I suspect that Giuliani tactics in New York of zero tolerance uh...will start becoming incredibly popular amongst people in Britain very shortly." Sooo...whoa!

08:32 Really? He knew this three days ago before anyone was talking about this guy from Kroll Associates. And then I start looking into these guys, oh my goodness John! These guys are the agent provocateurs and there's a famous whistleblower known as Richard Andrew Grove have you ever heard of him? No tell me okay so Richard Andrew Grove He found out that Kroll Associates, back in the day they were owned by AIG actually. And what was the company on the 96th floor of the World Trade Center? The trading firm... I got it here somewhere. Well it's in the clip actually

09:22 He worked for them and they were putting in back doors into, I guess Deutsche Bank. And they were building the software so they could manipulate trades and they could do all this nasty stuff... ...and what he asserted in his whistleblowing is that the evidence had to be covered up of this huge scam which included AIG and Marshall McLennan on the 96th floor And he came out with this big story around 2002 and I have a two minute clip where he explains the entire history of Kroll Associates and their dealings in there involvement around 9-11. Sure, this short and sweet summary if you will would be

10:06 I was working in an enterprise software company which meant that my clients were the world's leading financial institutions. And before they can do anything action-wise in the world, they have to build software projects behind the scenes that facilitate the flow of data and information So what I did was, you know, I was involved in sales and I was involved with clients like AIG and Marshall McLennan and Lehman Brothers and Merrill Lynch. And all these companies Deutsche Bank these were all client of mine. And so before they go out and do anything they come out with plans for software and then we bid on how much the software is going to cost them. Then they actually build these projects well behind-the-scenes I was involved in AIG and Marshall McClennan building some project which were eventually used to defraud their clients

10:51 of hundreds of billions of dollars now i didn't understand the mechanism machinations at the time the reason i found out is because i was being i was being paid very large commission checks and when you're counting on that money every month in you're getting paid a wrong amount that with all i needed to kind of raise my head and say hey what's going on i'm not being paid correctly and after i have these questions the next day other vp of sales flew in and fired me on the spot and i'd close the largest deal in company history and marshall mcclellan and he were a large client and all this stuff is going on but i didn't really realize it time that was june of two thousand one in august of two thousand one my ex-employer came back to me and brought to me and offered me an extension health care uh... which i needed because i just got out of hospital and so i took the bride and i signed his contract in the only binding thing was

11:41 They don't want me to talk about what I did and I thought well who cares nobody gets what we did there anyway It doesn't matter. Well a couple days later 9-11 happens and before 9-11 it happened, I thought to myself you know people don't give you money for nothing So I contacted some friends of mine at Marsh and in a return phone call through voicemail, I was directed to go to the World Trade Center on the morning of 9-11 to deliver the documents and evidence that I had to the 96th floor. And that's where the explosion occurred. So I was actually sitting in traffic in a Porsche Cabriolet with the top down and you know, I witnessed the events and it wasn't until about a month later that I caught onto

12:23 Some of the money laundering aspects and the coincidences that couldn't have been done by Muslim hijackers. And when you take these insider trades on American Airlines and Marsha McClennan, and they track back to the CIA, and they track back to Deutsche Bank which was the first client we installed this special software, This internet portal where they could do all sorts of things behind the scenes as far as information transactions that they could never do before So in a short story, that's kind of how I came to be involved so I don't want to digress into the 9-eleven stuff but obviously there's a lot going on with this firm and this guy Bratton who was

13:00 With the police in New York, but also in Los Angeles So I go looking for someone who's willing to spill the beans on him from the LAPD. I figured you know New York LA There's something going on between them two and this really lays it all out as to why? There is I think a very valid theory as possibly telegraphed to us personally by Nigel Farage about these provocateurs enraging in an Arab Spring type fashion the already disturbed youths of Gitmo Nation East.

CHAPTER 03 / 29 Discussion

Infinite Growth Monetary Paradigm, UK Arson Insurance Scams

The hosts discuss the "Infinite Growth Monetary Paradigm" and the collapse of a quadrillion-dollar derivatives bubble as the motivation for global civil unrest. They speculate that the burning of a Sony warehouse and other retail outlets during the UK riots may have been insurance scams rather than random looting. John C. Dvorak suggests that the lack of attacks on bookstores proves the looters were only interested in high-value electronics.

13:53 to provoke race riots. And I'm really worried that that's what's happening, the unrest I've been predicting for quite some time but this is the patterns and dispersion and the incidents and especially with the media are playing them on both sides of the coast suggest that they really want a trigger massive civil unrest You say they, who do you think is behind sort of the spreading of civil unrest that frankly we've seen over the last few months happen around the world? The they is anyone who is in service of the infinite growth monetary paradigm. That would be the best. The Infinite Growth Monetary Paradigm dot com! I love that, I love that! Infinite Growth Monetary Paradigm... I love that. ...would be oil companies. That would be absolutely corrupt financial institutions around the world that are now witnessing a 1.4 quadrillion dollar

14:48 derivatives bubble collapse. That's the they, they can make more money. Well what interest would the banks and oil companies have in triggering this civil unrest? It's more profitable to destroy things now in this infinite growth paradigm than it is to save them or rescue them. The way the stock markets are manipulated with price-to-earnings ratios, with all the derivatives makes it infinitely more profitable to kill than to save and that's just a reality of where we live in. And I'm down with that! Of course, kill them much easier! I mean, and Nigel Farage to be telegraphing because you know why is he for the military? Well of course he's for the military cause he knows that the boys and girls in the military aren't going to immediately go and shoot their own kind. So he wants the military on the street to protect against the provocateurs that are being sent in by these douchebags who crawl worldwide!

15:44 I have like eight links in the show notes at 330.nashownotes.com and think about it, we've got Twitter Facebook RIM Everybody's on board with the government We've gotten 16 thousand extra cops coming back on the beat It's just more of a lockdown and sorry Gitmo Nation East they're doing it to kill you! So well, that's a possibility. Yeah But come on for Farage to say three days before this guy is in the news To say I think the Giuliani guys will be coming in they'll be any actually if you listen to him Say it he says it with a little with like a little chuckle He's here. I want you to listen to it again hold on second yeah You can hear him chuckling like They'll be very interested in the Giuliani guys so my fingers are all slippery here we go

16:37 See that again. We do with them I mean, do we put him in prison? Do we let him straight back out again? And I also think what will happen is there is gonna be a debate about policing and I suspect that Giuliani's tactics in New York of zero tolerance Will start to become incredibly popular Very shortly just a little bit incredibly popular Yeah No III heard dad so I think there was something there because you know users the possibility this could be a coded message I don't have a problem thinking that way with the fact that you're dealing with this.

17:23 It's kind of a spook company. They also protect all of the they do all the armored cars for president usis They have a company called us is which is specialized in providing information security services to government agencies and commercial enterprises Around the US and elsewhere headquartered in Falls Church, Virginia hello delivers background screening and risk management solutions that not only protect national security but also support the, and help empower decision makers the world over. It could have also just been a very elaborate sales job Like no, I was thinking that too. Yeah, it's like hey what can we do to get a really good consulting? I know let's go stir up some kids make them burn and We're gonna just a multi-million dollar deal sold I Can see the meeting right now aye Hey We need we needed to close this this gap in our revenues our revs aren't quite what they're supposed to be for 2010 we got to get in for q3

18:25 What are we going to do? I actually lean toward that knowing these companies, especially if they're public. And this must be one because it's got investor relations tab. No, I say publicly This is company so that me and so those companies have to do anything to generate more money Yeah, yeah We should keep an eye on them for the next two quarters and see what we should invest now It's a clear buy signal no but you know it just it's creepy to me But, on the other hand when you think about those buildings that were burning... Those weren't buildings filled with Playstations. That was just actual arson! You know? So maybe these guys had like a secondary sales job for some insurance scam Like hey we're coming into town We got a sales presentation to make

19:20 I understand that with the one billion was a Sony warehouse for CDs, which has got it Burning that thing down is gonna give you more income than selling the CD and let's face it Sony has had a couple of problems their revs are way down they could certainly use some Some insurance payoff because yet CDS. That don't sell or just pieces of plastic But if you can say well You know we had 10 million pieces of plastic burn at a retail value of 1495 Now you're talking some payout, baby. And there's also the other one that was seemed to be targeted because it was mentioned a number of times over and over again I don't know if...I know one store was burned down for sure but i don't know if there was a targeted effort because even though I say it with I keep reading about it lady selfridges Lady Selfridges? Yeah that's it! I think lady selfridges is some dead end that selfridges tried to promote and those stores were specifically burnt out

20:18 Interestingly, I saw a couple of polls in the British press saying why do you think bookstores like WH Smith were not attacked? Like do you think it's because people respect books? No! It's cause there is no plug on the book. There is no joystick attached to it So...you know..I really have a feeling that there is something going on here Undeniably The police state is cracking down Undeniably And everyone's on board with it. So, um... Whether Cameron and Camerlot and all those guys were in on it or not is uh- remains to be seen But I think the idea of a sales job A sales presentation Hey! It beats PowerPoint Here's our- Well this is kind of like one of those Bond movies where you have to show a demonstration Mr. Bond that will blow up the moon Yes for 1 billion dollars

21:19 So we'll keep our eye on that. And we have to keep our eye on Kroll worldwide, see how they do and what was the name of the company? Actually Altegrity I believe is the stock. Altegrity okay What's the ticker symbol so he can enter that into our Bloombergs? Good old Nigel good! I mean truly i'm thinking like he's like if only in Karine Dvorak can pick up on this... I'll add a little chuckle just so they get tingled To be honest, it happened when I was listening to the Lone Squirrel remix of episode 329 which i'm going to post in all the show notes now. What a great way to catch up on a show! You get two and half hours chugged into 20 minutes is great. And like wait did I just hear him say Giuliani? So this magical...magical magical magical not so nice obviously but magical nonetheless and what were you doing? Was I doing when? I don't know yesterday day before

CHAPTER 04 / 29 Discussion

Reverend James Manning, Al Sharpton Teleprompter Fail

Adam Curry plays a clip of Reverend James Manning criticizing President Obama and the media. The hosts then mock MSNBC host Al Sharpton for a viral teleprompter blunder where he misread a script and failed to correct himself. They predict Sharpton will be fired within months due to his performance.

22:25 Trying to get on Skype! This thing's turning into a turd.

We have them in Syria, we may or may not have had him in Tunisia but we have them basically everywhere and now let's say that we have the the commercial guys getting in on it a

23:10 You know, there's enough tension in the United States to have this exact same thing happen. What if Kroll says hey we've got a market here that is untapped? Well Reverend Manning would know! You think that... and those black people ride it you haven't seen anything I'm not advocating killing and murder and stealing and robbing That's no what i am advocating I'm just telling you what people are going to do People are sick of this. People are tired of the long-legged Mac Daddy, you know, kicking them in the face every time he gets up lying to them. Then you got a bunch of I don't know suck ups like MSNBC News and ABC News and all these media types and everybody who's looking to be popular getting invited into the White House sucking it up to him all the time. It's sickening!

23:57 I mean is downright sick watch this how come? Jesse Al Sharpton has a show, but this guy doesn't he's perfect well We know one thing for a fact al Sharpton can read from a prompter. Yeah There's another gg actually so I got to see the clip with with him doing that you know on TV That bet botch oh John Stewart did so those guys are listening to our show again No, I'd stay never listen or show Do you have that clip, Hanny?

Anyway so i'm watching this and he's just keeps his straight face throughout the whole thing as though he's like covered his ass

24:40 He means as if whatever this save was at the end actually worked. Oh, yeah No, he thought it's like yeah, I thought he nailed it Yeah, I nailed is the measure man whether of the country begins in the state of Wisconsin a national drive to push back or whether we have more to go to build a movement of resistance. But resist, we much! We must and we will much about that be committed. Joining me now- Nailed it! Now onto the next item He didn't even... he didn't wink, he didn't smile, he didn't back up. He thought he nailed it Yeah What an idiot Hold on a second Let's give him one there

CHAPTER 05 / 29 Discussion

Iowa Straw Poll, Ron Paul vs. Rick Santorum

The hosts critique media coverage of the Iowa Straw Poll, noting that Ron Paul's near-victory was overshadowed by Rick Perry's entry into the race. They highlight a debate exchange where Ron Paul corrected Rick Santorum on the history of U.S. involvement in Iran, dating back to the 1953 coup. Paul argues against trade sanctions and military intervention, while Santorum characterizes Iran as an existential threat.

ron paul· michelle bachmann· rick santorum· iowa straw poll· c-span· iran sanctions

25:29 Yeah, it's pretty funny. So the news is out that Tom Castle have him fired by the way I guarantee you. Oh yeah of course. Prediction prediction put it in the book put it in Sharpton within 90 dwell He has a six-month contract I'm sure so this the Iowa straw poll came out and very interesting for those who want to know how The media works so as I understand it Michelle Bachmann had 192 votes more than Ron Paul. Yet even on C-SPAN, on the C-SPAN homepage it says Bachman wins Iowa Straw Poll Rick Perry enters race Like you have the closest finish ever in the Iowa straw poll which is remarkable and all they can say is oh Rick Perry entered the race

26:25 And Ron Paul at a certain point he was, uh... He did his um... His kind of his straw poll speech. and C-SPAN lost the connection We're sorry we're having technical difficulties. They didn't have any technical difficulties with anybody else I Was like the world is out they cannot let this guy get any further although it was dangerous This guy's too dangerous and all the stooges i'm looking at on twitter There's a bunch of these people that blasting Ron Paul out of the blue now I want you to listen to the opening of his Iowa straw poll speech, and you can hear well

27:04 Well, I won't tell you what it is. Listen. The next speaker is Representative Ron Paul the congressman from Texas and he's seeking the Republican nomination for the presidency. Representative Paul Thank you very much Did ya hear that? I clearly heard an in-the morning No play it again Yeah hold on a second let me rewind it for ya there was an In The Morning! I can't believe you didn't hear that I gotta go back further sorry The congressman from Texas and he's seeking the Republican nomination for the presidency. Representative Paul Thank you very much.

27:46 I'm not so sure all of the in that when they had the debate by the way all of the Ron Paul people were put in the absolute last row trust. They were thrown into back you yeah, this your middle racket? I have a number of Ron Paul clips. I'd like to get do later No You want to it now or you want to rock it later we can do it well We don't have my list of clips in front of me. I do Okay, well play the one that did when it's initializes the whole scene where he gets exactly and He essentially gets into various debates with these stooges Santorum is the worst of course. He got nobody voted is that where is that where you pwned Santorum?

28:23 about his history? Yeah, I think this might be the clip actually. By Joe Biden nonetheless and Barack Obama once we got it passed and i can tell you if Rick Santorum and when Rick Santorum is president Iran will not get a nuclear weapon because the world as we know it will be no more by the way what's up with this new bill That's that could it be any more game show? You know the funny thing is about the they did Santorum complains about it, and I have to admit watching what I watched the whole thing. I have to admit They gave Ron Paul a little more leeway because he was so much more entertaining absolutely you can tell like people on the panel that were they were just smiling and yucking It up when Paul got on and they let him go a lot longer and Santorum They cut him off. They'd ring the bell and come to shut up

29:11 It's hilarious. But that bell is outrageous! Ding ding! Hello, hello? Do you have your Final Jeopardy answer? Congressman Paul 30 seconds You've heard the war propaganda that has labored to lead us into the sixth war and I worry about that position Iran is a threat because they have some militants there but believe me they're all around the world Excuse me They're all around the world and they are not a whole lot different than others Iran does not have an air force that can come here. They don't have, they can't even make enough gasoline for themselves and here we are building this case out please please they're building up this caselike just like we did in Iraq buildup the war propaganda there was no Al Qaeda in Iraq and they had nuclear weapons and we had to go win I'm sure you supported that war as well it's time we quit this its trillions of dollars were spent on these bombs

30:07 That wasn't actually the part- I pulled one or two clips. Was this the lead in versus Santorum Mind Your Own Business clip? No, but you didn't ask me for that one. No, I said the lead in clip. Oh, I'm sorry and I'll play it for ya. It's in a Chinese... Wait wait wait stop! This is now the leading clip Okay what was the one you played so I don't call out? That was Ron Paul vs. Santorum. Oh okay Sorry Alright so lead in now Yeah. Weapons we tolerated the Soviets, we didn't attack them and they were a much greater danger They were the greatest danger to us in our whole history You just played the same clip No! no no no no no

30:45 I'm not playing the same clip. You're playing lead in versus Santorum mind your own business Yeah, that's what I'm playing right now 1.8 megabyte clip yeah Yeah, well was the one you just played then I could have sworn it was the same one It was Ron Paul vs.. San here okay? Let me a be it for you Then here's the one I just play by Joe Biden nonetheless and Barack Obama once again That's the one I just played all right play the other way But you don't go to war against them I mean this whole idea of sanctions all these pretend free traders there are ones who put on these trade sanctions this is why we still don't have trade relationships with Cuba it's about time we talked to Cuba and stop fighting these wars that are about 30 or 40 years old.

31:31 Senator Santorum, I got a question for you. As the author of the Iran Freedom Support Act which he's criticizing... Yeah, I had this one too. Because when I was in the United States sanctioned that would actually impose sanctions on Iran because of their nuclear program. Iran is not Iceland Ron. Thanks Rick! Well, just so we know why does he even say Iceland? Where does that come from I don't know. It's not ice and Ron run since 1979 Mr Paul to you Iran is a country that has killed more American men and women in uniform In Iraq in Afghanistan than the Iraqis and the Afghans dance half Afghanistan is happy The Afghanistani is the afghani the the Afghans how about that?

32:18 The Iranians are the existential threat to the state of Israel Yes, you Israelis what keeps them up at night? It's the Iranians funny enough a monster Stimming shut up. What keeps him up at night that they can't pay for food They are sitting out with the guillotine in the square because they're so angry at their government. That's what keeps them up at night, douche! Okay, the senator is wrong on his history.

Executive Producer Credits, No Agenda Formula

Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak read through a list of high-tier donors and executive producers, granting "karma" for various personal requests. A brief tangent occurs regarding Dvorak's ruined Ugg boots after stepping in a puddle. They reiterate the "No Agenda Formula" of hitting people in the mouth and explain the value-for-value funding model.

Military Drone Proliferation, European Defense Spending

A clip from a Brookings Institution panel reveals that the U.S. military now operates over 7,000 unmanned aerial systems. The hosts discuss a speaker's criticism of European allies for cutting defense budgets and failing to integrate their forces during the Libya campaign. The speaker warns that the era of Europe being a "free rider" on U.S. military spending is ending.

46:29 I didn't hear it, sorry. Tanked my bad. Ha! There you said it again. Yep and I keep saying it Why? Because it's a cool hip thing to say Joe It's so clichéd and old What should I say? I'm sorry? No you can say anything You should just go on move Move on Yeah I got a question for ya Just a little side note This is the question for you. It's a clip I want to answer the question do we have it, you know floating around? You know We have a bunch of these drones in the air Yeah Do we have 70 or 700

47:08 Let me think about this while we play the clip capacities that will be needed more in the 21st century versus the 20th century So, you know another reason why we can't sort of just go back to the 2001 budget as well back in 2001 You didn't have a cyber command back in 2001. You didn't have Over 7000 unmanned aerial systems and the force back in 2001. He also didn't have 44 other nations also building unmanned systems wait a minute It's 7,000? We got seven thousand what floating around America So so the 7000 drones, this is one of the things you know during this year was this for who was it? This is that. This is one of those little things that they show during the offseason when Congress is out and they put their cameras in places like The Brookings Institute. Oh yeah. And they fill it up with a bunch of spooks talking to more spooks and a couple of journalists. It's always good. It's always gold. Yeah because there are stuff in there you know that you didn't know

48:07 So this is the guy who's some one of the Brookings Institute guys and there were just whole speech was about why we should not be cutting any military budgets. In fact, we should be increasing them! We need more drones And he drops his bomb about 7,000 drones. I go home. I didn't know. I've never known it where did this come from? You know because these guys are so casual amongst themselves right that they occasionally let these little bombs go and it's always quite interesting but here's the guy that was the ex I can remember his name but he was the X NSA guy for Bush This is the Brookings panel Europe threat clip and what he says here, this guy. He's really a promoter of taking over the world basically he's like a Roman emperor this character and he makes it idle thread about Europe. He says look these guys are screwing up they can't even deal with his Libya thing we gave him to them on a silver platter they can do anything with it They're not upping their ante on military And they don't shower

49:07 They're not going along with a free ride from us. That's ending, you know you're gonna get a bill in the mail. You can't look at this as just going back to 2001 levels Steve? I agree with that Australia has been a terrific ally when we really need someone to be with us Australia is a country that has been there I think some of our European allies Europe has really got to decide are they gonna have a real military force or not because they have so cut their budgets, the forces are shrunk. They don't work together in an integrated way and you're seeing that in Libya. And I think Europeans are going to have to make some tough choices about where they go on their defense establishments even while they deal with some very severe economic crisis. They have a tendency to benefit...I'd say it's like a free rider! Those days are over." That's right, and they don't shower enough. Damnit!

Infrastructure Bank, High-Speed Rail, Obama Manufacturing Push

President Obama's proposal for an "Infrastructure Bank" (or I-Bank) is analyzed as a public-private partnership that may lead to increased toll roads. The hosts discuss the president's push for American manufacturing and his comments on Koreans driving American cars. They also touch on the legal challenges facing high-speed rail projects in the California peninsula.

50:02 Those days are over stinky Europeans not with the program not pulling your weight Wow, that's pretty cool. Yeah It was interesting it was a briefing wasn't the most you know I mean I watch these things and it's like I'm also looking for some little gems in there But this one is a little much of us news except for the 7000 drones yeah, it's funny because Maybe for a little bit later in the show. I've been trying to get Some information about this investment bank, which is now coolly named the I Bank it was the eye bank That's the same before Apple gets yeah from the people who brought you Winning the future we bring you the eye bank. Yeah, they're gonna get so you apple will sue the government for that I'm sure oh yeah well Apple don't forget has more money than the government and more money

50:56 C-SPAN there was a that was a budget hearing on c-span 3 which I don't want to get into it right now because i'm just Got a ramped up gotta get ramped up to talk about it And it had you know the guy from Goldman Sachs JP Morgan all the douchebag bankers are in on the panel and I'm getting tweets about this like oh, You gotta watch c-span three which of course. They can't watch while we're on the road and And it's not up on their video library. They have not put it up yet, and this was almost four days ago now So either they're never gonna put it up or the interns are running the shop during this downtime and they just confused You know playing games and not putting it up so unfortunately Maybe I'll have it by Thursday But if anyone has a- If anyone by chance recorded five hours of C-Span just spin that off onto an mp4 and Dropbox is for me will ya?

51:54 I'd appreciate that. President had his weekly address, actually this is from the West Wing Week, his reality show which i'm a big fan of. What kind of cars does Korea make? Korea? Yeah. You mean what brands? They make cars don't they? Yeah there's Kia, the Hyundai Among I think there's another brand that shows up and would you say those are pretty good cars actually the? Hyundai, which I think now owns Kia Is that is considered by many in fact according to most of them testing it's going on one of the best cars You can buy right now for the price especially and they have great warranties. I'm It's a lot people are looking seriously at the Hyundais day woo. They was the other one yeah That's the one

52:44 So the president is out on the road and he's talking about, you know how great we are. We're going to get our manufacturing back together and uh... He had a little message for what he wants with American cars I said it before i will say it again You cannot bet against the american worker. Folks in Korea driving Fords and Chevys and Chryslers! He wants folks in korea driving Fords and Chevy's and Chryslers Are you kidding me? It's not likely. I can just see a Korean going, what is this plastic piece of crap?! No well actually it's also the size! Although Koreans make pretty big cars surprisingly They can't park in a Chevy But yeah some of our cars are little... but no it's not gonna work Nooo it's totally stupid And I mean I could see the Chinese going for American cars because they're into this prestige thing

53:40 So, um... on the same West- How about getting Americans to buy Fords, Chevys and whatever? Yeah. There's an idea for you Let's do- You know what why don't we do something where you can trade in your old piece of crap And will give you like $5,000 for it there's an idea Oh wait We did that Those days are over so in the same west wind wink at West Wing week he's out in Milwaukee and He's uh He's talking about the infrastructure This is a plan that will be fully paid for. Paid for! I love it, by the way when he's out talking to a crowd he so much better. Paid For! Ha ha gotta tell ya It will not add to the deficit over time We're gonna work with Congress to see to that We want to set up an infrastructure bank To leverage federal dollars and focus on the smartest investments Oh an infrastructure bank which is a great idea

54:37 We're gonna continue... Oh, that's the I-bank. Yeah? Listen to it though this is he's pushing this real hard. ...our strategy to build a national high speed rail network reduces congestion and travel times and reduces harmful emissions. And you won't have to take your shoes off! So did you, not to interrupt but apparently all the little towns on the San Francisco peninsula have sued the state of California to keep high-speed rail off the peninsula? Out. Of course they don't want that. And so meanwhile now you have a train that's going to be leaving San Francisco to head to LA and it's not gonna go down in the peninsula how is it going to get there

55:12 anti-gravitational machine? It has to somehow, what's gonna happen is there going to be a bus. It's gonna pick you up in San Francisco and drive you to Oakland. You'll get off the bus Get on the high speed rail in Oakland Straight to the FEMA camp Unbelievable We want to cut waste and bureaucracy and consolidate And collapse more than 100 different programs that too often duplicate each other So we want to change the way Washington spends your tax dollars. We want to reform a haphazard patchwork way of doing business. We want to focus on less wasteful approaches than what we've got right now, we want competition and innovation that gives us the best bang for the buck. Bang for the buck! But the bottom line is this Milwaukee this will not only create jobs immediately This will bring us better Kardashian episodes

56:08 It's also going to make our economy hum over the long haul. It is a plan that history tells us can and should attract bipartisan support. It is a plan that says even in the aftermath of the worst recession in our lifetimes, America can still shape our own destiny." So...the concept of an infrastructure bank is not new? Was it FDR who did this initially John? I have no idea that he did that. Well, that's what is being touted and I was googling around because this infrastructure bank keeps popping up and it's you know 30 billion 50 billion private public partnership which always ends in disaster so the way i understand the idea is you get private companies to invest and then the government will make money available at 2% loans

57:08 with an independent committee who will then determine what projects are viable. How about, I got one for you the potholes on highway US Highway 80 Interstate Highway 80 Well you'll get that? The only problem is it'll then turn into a toll road Because that's how it is set up. You get the 2% loans, you go and invest the other 50%, you invest yourself as a construction company and then you get to charge toll on it so of course its tax money America pays. Oh you mean like Rick Perry would be doing? Totally what Rick Perry would do So President Obama asked the truck builders... You should see this video because it funny these are guys with pink ties on sitting there in the White House with a pink tie Hey nice fashion sense

57:57 And the president's like, you gotta invest in this. It's almost like he called the bankers to the White House only now he had the cameras rolling for his reality show. I think by having one standard, having the stuff we're shooting for because we're all going to start making investments to get there. It's a stretch but it's doable. You mentioned the infrastructure and couldn't do it better throughout our history. Infrastructure workers produce jobs so I think we'd all agree using roads is an investment not a spend.

58:34 Nothing. Yeah, so this is the plan. You have this infrastructure bank you get everybody back to work on stuff We don't really need like high-speed rail by the way I know except for California's part of Route 80 everything else seems to be groovy These roads only need any rebuilding that i've been on they're great

59:15 Yeah, but you're in the parts of the country where there's less people and they get money from the... California is a net loser. We get taxed to death and then they send a bunch of money to the feds because you're supposed to do that part of the deal And then they stay redistributed back for different projects when we get like In California, you get like 60% of it back and the rest of it goes to Alabama. I mean so we could totally scammed? It's ridiculous! And so I have a road here that's covered with potholes and is an interstate highway! So you need a sales guy for this and at first you think, you think this guy is right on the money and he's awesome but then the payoff comes in it turns out that Dylan Radigan who works for I guess he's MSNBC right? Yeah. He's The New Morning Guy

CHAPTER 10 / 29 Discussion

Dylan Ratigan MSNBC Rant, Repatriated Offshore Dollars

The hosts play a viral clip of MSNBC's Dylan Ratigan "freaking out" about the extraction of wealth from the United States. They argue the rant was a staged effort to help the Obama administration sell the Infrastructure Bank concept. The discussion explains how the bank would be funded by allowing corporations to repatriate offshore dollars at a lower tax rate, citing Microsoft's purchase of Skype as an example of offshore cash usage.

dylan ratigan· msnbc· infrastructure bank· offshore profits· microsoft· skype

1:00:08 He is brought out to sell this and he does it in a very interesting way. He goes on... I don't know if this, this is not the Dylan Rattigan show. This-he's on a panel on some MSNB-it may have been Morning Joe but something else And he starts freaking out And then he brings it, very good by the way. Then he brings it home to help the president sell this scam I'm not here to talk about plans to deal with this till 2017! I'm saying we've got a real problem and I'm tired of Republicans and Democrats who either want- Republicans who wanna burn the place to the ground and Democrats with all due respect Who wanna offer a plan that gets through their end of second term in their presidency and then screws me and my kids when its over! Until we do that we have to deal with the extraction that is at foot

1:00:52 It is the reason that financial markets are behaving where they're behaving. That is a mathematical fact! This is not some opinion, this is a mathematical fact. Tens of trillions of dollars are being extracted from the United States of America. Democrats aren't doing it, Republicans are not doing it an entire integrated system, financial system trading system taxing system that was created by both parties over a period of two decades is at work on our our entire country right now. And we're sitting here arguing about whether we should do the $4 trillion plan that kicks the can down the road for the president for 2017 or burn the place to the ground, both of which are reckless irresponsible and stupid! The fact of the matter is until we actually... I'm sorry to lose my temper but i tell you what? I've been coming on TV for three years

1:01:43 And the fact of the matter is that there's a refusal on both the Democratic and Republican side to acknowledge the mathematical problem, which is that United States of America is being extracted. It's being extracted through banking, it's being extracted through trade, and it's being extracted through taxation. And there is not a single politician that has stepped forward, Susan to deal with this." So that's pretty good right? The meeting was like this... Like ummm listen man we got the call from the White House We need some shit to go viral dude You gotta like freak out a little bit And this was actually on his show as far. I guess it was on Morning Joe, but this was a No, I always either on the show or morning joy what difference does it make no doesn't say? I think ran last Tuesday or something yeah, I hadn't seen it so oh Yeah, I saw it I was I thought better of running it because it just seemed like a Self-serving rant that Dylan Rattigan did on purpose to get a bunch of viral action well That's exactly this is exactly what I'm saying then he goes and works yeah Then he goes into blame Congress

1:02:45 By the way, he says something in there. I thought if I was a little annoying what's that? He first he blasted Republicans and then he blessed the Democrats but when you blast the Democrats he says with all due respect Yeah, hey They don't get no respect So now he's going to tell you that your Congress is bought, which by the way is kind of the message that the president sending all the time. Except he calls it our country isn't broken our politics are broken but again in a meeting, hey Rattigan man! You gotta like freak out about congress! I would like him go to people United States America and say People of the United States

1:03:22 your congress is bought. your congress is incapable of making legislation on healthcare, banking trade or taxes because if they do it they will lose their political funding and they won't do it but I'm the president united states and I won't have a country that is run by a bought Congress. So I'm not going to work with the bought Congress and try to be Mr Big Guy, I'm working with the bought congress. I am gonna abandon the bought congress like Teddy Roosevelt did. And i'm gonna go to the people... Oh please! Okay stop it! I can't take anymore of this bull crap You have to listen to the payoff Here comes the pay off and here's where he sells the message which is completely

1:04:00 Idiotic bad does it have to get how much money has to be extra? How many things are the brass tacks okay physically what do you do go and give a speech right now yeah, right now Tomorrow what happens is you begin the process of actually investing in solving the problem So I come out and say how I create an infrastructure bank with 2% blending immediately Once I explain to people the problem once. I explain to you you have cancer The re once you understand how screwed up your trade tax and banking policies are believe me You will have no issue when I incorporate an infrastructure bank that I fund with repatriated offshore money That I bring in and then use to create 2% direct lending to every business in America because when you realize that the banking system is fully corrupt and Defrauding us. Okay, he'll be sleep guy in a hook He'll be sleeping in the Lincoln bedroom

1:04:54 Well, he did definitely put a big plug in for the iBank. Yep. At 2%, he had their talking points down so obviously they had a little notepad in front of them and it was pathetic pandering! Now the other thing is what he did mention which was kind of interesting was repatriated offshore dollars... Yeah like we're gonna... Which is the money by the way that Microsoft used to buy Skype. We're going to take this Skype thing and turn into a railroad! So Microsoft had a bunch of profits overseas that they had buried in their various divisions, that they didn't want to bring the USA because they'd have to pay taxes on it at a ridiculous rate. And so they bought Skype with it instead and then you didn't have to deal with the tax issues but you can't repatriate that money unless you give some sort of a tax break. I guess which hasn't been mentioned which Obama hasn't said...I haven't heard this

1:05:45 is to fund the I Bank. He's gonna offer all these corporations a deal. Of course! Hey, you guys if you bring your money we'll put it in the bank and he won't have to pay taxes on it so he's going to give tax break to the corporations while his minions... See? I don't believe that he really wants to do that because his minions are out there and there has been a number of reports they're going after mostly Romney Right.

CHAPTER 11 / 29 Discussion

Rick Perry Presidential Campaign, Democratic Past

The hosts examine Rick Perry's entry into the 2012 presidential race, noting his history as a Democrat and his role as Al Gore's Texas campaign chairman in 1988. They criticize his record on the Trans-Texas Corridor and forced Gardasil vaccinations. Donna Brazile's comments on Perry are used to illustrate how the media is framing his candidacy.

rick perry· donna brazile· al gore· gardasil· trans-texas corridor· tea party

1:06:28 And if we are ultimately, not just this year but over the coming decades going to be able to balance our budget and not spend more than what we take in. We have to make sure that the promises we make in social security Medicaid and Medicare are promises we can keep. There's various ways of doing that One is we could raise taxes on people. That's it! Corporate tax rates! Corporate tax rates! Everything corporations earn ultimately goes to people. Where do you think it goes? Soylent Green is corporations!

1:07:10 Yeah, I caught that too. And so Obama's got his boys out yelling at Romney wherever he shows up He's toast and i don't know what they're gonna do because here's the kicker of all this political stuff That's going on with Rick Perry coming on board And as soon as I heard this, Donna Brazile was on one of the CNN shows and she makes this comment on Rick Perry. I said wait a minute! And then she kind of lays it out here you but this is something i didn't actually for some reason until I looked him up on Wikipedia. Who's Donna Brazile? Donna Brazile used to be one of Clinton's henchmen She worked in various departments of his government and she's a black tough woman who does a lot of campaign work for people. America and it darn sure doesn't work in Texas Size him up

1:07:55 Well, first of all I knew him when he was a Democrat. That was back in the 1980's when he ran as an agriculture commissioner He is someone who is quite personable and can relate to a lot of people. He comes from West Texas. Does he worry you more than any other Republican you saw up there on stage last night? You know I'm not worried John. I am just trying to let Democrats know that this one Texan they better take seriously just like they took you know, George W. Bush seriously look he knows how to run he will run to his right as you saw with that clip to try and out Tea Party even the most extreme tea party member so... He will be a crowd pleaser initially but once you get to see his record as Texas Governor I think people will run away from him In a sentence how would you run against Rick Perry? Oh! I would just totally take on this so called Texas miracle because once you get away from all of the myths

1:08:50 You'll see that Rick Perry is a big government guy. And a douchebag! And a douchebag, and here I saw you look him up and heres what some of the things he ran into He was a democrat until 1989, that means during the entire Reagan administration. He was not only a democrat which kind of puts him as far as i'm concerned disqualifies him as a republican He was the head of Al Gore's election campaign in 1988. He is the guy who wanted to put that big road through Texas that comes out of Mexico, he is the one who did forced vaccinations... This guy is a total phony! No, he's totally on board with the Gardasil, with the transcontinental Texas highway? The Transcorridor what it called? Yeah, the Corridor. Oh yeah, people in Austin are like this guys a douchebag!!

1:09:39 And he's been trying to get all the votes told. And the fact that he's getting all this attention from these Republicans who should know better, especially the Tea Party people... This guy was a Democrat! Yeah but John, the fix is so in on it- The media is already done I mean this exactly what I said Michelle Bachmann wins Iowa straw poll Rick Perry jumps in the race It's set, its fixed By the way, I think that I think he will win the nomination. I really actually there's a there was an op-ed and written in CNN that claims the same thing when and has all the rationales for it if this guy wins the nomination I mean Why don't we just? We should just stop doing the show no no no no like snay on the ops day Anyway angry hey um

Hugo Chavez, Twitter Diplomacy, Fidel Castro

Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak discuss Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez using Twitter to govern while receiving cancer treatment in Cuba. They marvel at his verified status and large follower count. The hosts joke about the possibility of the accounts being run by the U.S. State Department.

hugo chavez· twitter· fidel castro· venezuela· verified account

1:10:33 Need to eat a. Hey, here's the little side thing. Play the Hugo Chavez clip and tell me if there is anything in here that just strikes you as a little strange. Castro did not show up last night for a special birthday concert held in his honor today it is 85th birthday Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez who was in Cuba for cancer treatment sent a Twitter message saying he was celebrating with Castro Wait a minute what? You can find me on the tweeters Of course Castro uses Twitter.

There is Chavez and Nanga on Twitter Yeah, let's see Alejandro Chavez, maybe he's not on Twitter It says right here in the Guardian Hugo Chavez uses Twitter to run Venezuela from hospital He doesn't get to run the government according to The Guardian Wait a minute That's probably one of Lucifer's techno experts like hey, I got it. Got me a cool tweeter handle Watch this

1:12:19 Twitter name. Let me look and see if we can find this, maybe someone in the chat room can find it for us He's running the government from- he's probably private then if he's running the government from Twitter Here, Twitter verifies Chavez' account Does he have a checkmark?

1:13:59 And this is his follower number? 1921712? Yeah, he brags about it. He's got it on his main website. He's got his follower number. 1921712 Which is probably code for something You know I think Baron Von Pelsmacher should have one of these sites With him like saluting and stuff. Yeah, and have ended showing the areas of Belgium which are under his command Under his barony And there's a disputed areas And there he is with with Castro little picture they're fantastic yeah this tweeter thing is revolutionary isn't it

CHAPTER 13 / 29 Discussion

Missouri Facebook Law, Teacher-Student Relations

The hosts discuss a new Missouri law banning private social media communication between teachers and students. They play a clip from The Today Show featuring Alicia Cattolo, who describes a physical relationship with a teacher that began on Facebook. The hosts debate the necessity of the law and the prevalence of such incidents.

facebook· missouri· alicia cattolo· today show· social media law

1:14:39 These guys might be dead for all we know. Lucifer Clinton's just running this out of the State Department. Could be... That is too funny, good catch I like that Good job So there are a couple other things that are kind of interesting The hecklers There was a bunch- big news this week nothing to see here moment was apparently the Facebook action in Missouri Where they banned, I had a clip last show. I forgot that we ever played but it was about the new law they passed and now every morning show has got all these stories about the evil teachers you know seducing this 17 year olds Oh yeah teacherwithbenefits.com And um...I mean we can play couple of those after the break. I'll play cause there's one that is just like a real eye roller

1:15:37 You don't girl that runs off of their door. She she starts showing up at her teacher's house a something happens Well now you've got me all worked up is this Facebook and teachers on today show well There's that one, and there's another one detail of Facebook whoa student and teachers actually the the one that initiated The thread if you want to play that one first yeah, let's play the jingle first Look Facebook friendship with the teacher took her down a slippery slope. 19 year old Alicia Cattolo, like so many others her age... Hold on a second stop! 19 year old okay? You're legal then right you've been legal for awhile and if you're in France have been legal forever and the Vatican you've been legal for six years

1:16:26 Up to four hours a day on Facebook. I probably have about 400 Facebook friends and most of them are people that I have met face-to-face But just over two years ago when she was a junior in high school, she got an unexpected friend request from her teacher I didn't think anything of it because it wasn't a stranger with someone I knew someone I trusted And it was that trust in him that took the relationship to a different level the conversations became about more than just math class. I remember that we were talking online one night and had to fix a situation that was going on at home when i came back, I was crying and I was really upset and he could tell and then he asked me what's wrong and then I kind of opened up and told him what was going on how misunderstood it felt how alone I felt and thats when it all started

1:17:22 to change into a more flirtatious atmosphere. The relationship became physical and the communication moved from the computer to her teacher's home. Alicia knew she was in trouble I hated myself because i knew i was smarter than that but at the same time being understood by someone finally for once four or five years it was nice and that's probably what kept me you know going over there. After a few months Alicia put an end to the relationship and reported her teacher to the authorities he got sentenced to probation for 18 months and had to register as a sex offender I don't understand why somebody would do that someone else, i dont understand why you take

1:18:08 Vulnerable teenage girl who already has self-esteem issues and bring her down to that point. And although Alicia's story is extreme, the idea of teachers and students being online friends is more common than you might think. In fact a new poll by... What's the point? I don't know what the point is! You played the theme at the beginning it's nothing to see here Geez. Anyway, so they pass a law in Missouri saying you can't talk to anybody and uh and so now in the morning on The Today Show they had a bunch of editors from various like 17 and the other magazines and they were saying about how this is working every

1:18:53 Buddy on Facebook has us as a teacher as their friend, and it's you know It's something I can't do anything about it. It's too late And then they made it they tried to discuss this but this is just like a lame Very popular story in the mainstream media do you mind if we not play the other clip thin because it's like three and a half minutes You don't have to play the whole thing. The, um... But I think this clip is the one that's the key which is this girl just giving her tale of woe and it just like makes you wonder what's, y'know? Well what it makes me is- First she's basically having an affair with a teacher they broke it off so she calls the cops. That's essentially what the story's all about Yeah. I mean I had a crush on a teacher when I was young When I was like 16 or 17 I went to her house once Ooh!

1:19:42 Tell us more! And I met her husband. Ah, yeah! I drove like on my moped like you know for two hours. Hope it's for the best. It was like this is gonna rock And her husband was there like, would you like some spaghetti? Uh yeah. Hi Miss Jenkins I'm here! Don't mind the zits it's just me Yeah come on where was Facebook when i was a kid getting all sexed up with my teacher This is probably going on everywhere Yeah its gotta be I mean your 19

1:20:21 And what is that? Is that still high school 19. No, you'd be out. She's out. So this happens she said it happened a couple of years ago. Oh but now you have a 50 16 how old was J now 15 17 to 70 no time flies yes Uh, so if this happened and you know some douchebag- She doesn't spend no she's not doing anything with us. I know that! You can't get out of the house we got a lock under lock. She got her on a leash. She has a leash. And since it is Facebook time he's got alarm clock on it 15 minutes is up Okay but now seriously If this happened somehow wouldn't you be outraged? Oh I'd be outraged Yeah...you would be on the Today Show plugging our show

Kids for Cash Scandal, Judge Mark Ciavarella

John C. Dvorak highlights a local Pennsylvania story where a judge was sentenced to 28 years in prison for taking bribes to send children to private detention centers. The hosts condemn the "kids for cash" scheme as a form of slave labor and criticize the national media for not giving the scandal more attention.

mark ciavarella· private prisons· racketeering· pennsylvania· juvenile justice

1:21:08 Would be a blow yes, it's like I will have to talk about this outrage on my podcast the best podcast in the world Maybe not Okay. I've got something for you gonna do the Sunday or the Saturday times today What which one is Sunday again Sunday Times okay good? The say I think they did that I think they move it around III think I was wrong with my first assumption The Saturday Times was the coded paper okay Sunday times good. I do have some local news from Pennsylvania. Remember that judge who was taking handouts and payback like a million bucks to put kids into jail? Remember that? Oh yeah, right! Yeah for these prisons... commercial prisons right? Right, right, right. They gave him 28 years in prison Good

1:22:09 And he's saying, these were consulting fees was his defense. Awesome consulting! I think it is good you know they really threw the book at that guy awesome Four times the 87 months and that's not national news Oh, please a scandal these private prisons are a scandal in this country there And what that guy was doing is probably going on elsewhere Which was routing kids into these prison so they could be slave labor? And the prisons get a certain amount of money from the government to do operate. The prison says career It's unbelievable that this is going on and it hasn't nobody's done anything about it So you understand exactly he was found guilty

1:22:51 of 12 of 39 racketeering and fraud charges for accepting millions of dollars in bribes or consulting fees from friends who own detention centers to which he was sending juvenile delinquents. Is that- I mean, and what do we have on the news? Jermaine out with me on Facebook! Exactly That's ridiculous It's actually a little bit sickening Then we have a massive shut up slave moment. Now this happened in your neck of the woods, I'm surprised you didn't bring it up. I guess there was some potential rioting going on at the BART station which is the Bay Area Rapid Transit and they turned off the cell phone network inside the station. Yeah actually we didn't discuss this on the show but we discussed it over dinner table and there's a lot of interesting information here what happened was

CHAPTER 15 / 29 Discussion

BART Cell Phone Shutdown, San Francisco Protests

The Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) system's decision to shut down cell phone service to prevent a protest is discussed. The hosts speculate on whether BART used a jammer or simply deactivated a microcell/repeater within the stations. They criticize the lack of technical expertise in the reporting of the event.

bart· san francisco· cell phone jammer· microcell· civil liberties

1:23:49 Somebody thought there might be a protest because somebody in the BART station, one of the BART stations in San Francisco was killed by BART police which seems to happen every so often. And just you know, boom! So they're gonna... There was a rumor that they were going to have a sit-in or some sort of a protest on this day last week Of course it wasn't not a protest or anything It's just bull crap And BART freaks out and they either, this is where it gets muddy because nobody really knows how this happened. They either talk to AT&T or they talked to all these cell phone providers or whatever the case was there's apparently some service in some of the BART stations and they shut it off so people couldn't get to their cell phone. A couple things come to mind one was this a BART run repeater?

1:24:41 Was it an AT&T repeater? Who owned the repeater? I think it was a jammer. I think it was a cell phone jammer. Well, that was the other story! One they said they turned off and the other one... See, I don't believe in the jammer story. Oh I believe that they shut down the Femta cell, which I believe they had a small microcell inside the station that they just flipped to switch on. That's my guess and i'm not even sure who has responsibility for that this is very unclear The reporting is very crummy because nobody knows how these things even work And so they can't report on them because heaven forbid we have an expert that knows what he's talking about actually asking the questions Because you can't do that

1:25:17 And so we don't know. We don't know who's, you know if it is something that they can sue over or whatever Or just a courtesy that they even have cell phone coverage in the station and I dunno this is just a mystery Well the microcell sounds feasible but don't these microcells aren't They probably have them per network So they have one for Verizon One for AT&T One for T-Mobile That would seem logical Actually producer Michael here has one at his house Because he can't get you get there's no cell service here. He has an AT&T micro cells pretty cool Yeah, yeah and apparently they're you know she uses the cook you can also cook with it so what? With it put a hot plate right next to it and then put in a gun there So anyway, so this so is this story still evolving I tried him bring it up It's like we don't even know what the hell's going on okay

CHAPTER 16 / 29 Discussion

Chinese Counterfeit Wine, Chateau Lafite

John C. Dvorak reports on the widespread counterfeiting of high-end Bordeaux wines in China. He shares an anecdote about a wealthy Chinese businessman showing off an expensive bottle only to serve cheap wine instead. The discussion covers how counterfeiters reuse original bottles and labels to deceive buyers in the prestige market.

china· counterfeit wine· chateau lafite· bordeaux· prestige

1:26:12 Well, there is something and another thing from your neck of the woods that I thought was interesting. Apparently the China- Chiners now are counterfeiting wine! Ah well that doesn't surprise me A bottle of wine is very easy to replicate says Sheng Wen Especially in China where they can replicate anything They can replicate these holograms on expensive drugs Yeah this is from France 40... 2040? 4020 24 That's my French The counterfeiters just search for the original bottles in restaurant trash Once they got a hold of one, they reproduce the label replicate the bottle and put them on the supermarket shelves Yeah, they could do that. Have you ever seen? Oh, it's interesting Well this is not a new phenomenon especially with Bordeaux when they because it was just collectible And so what you can do and it's been done over the years is

1:27:09 I'm surprised the Chinese haven't taken it up a notch, which is to start not to stuff that you can get out of the garbage can but they're really high end wines that are going at auction now. The Chinese are buying up all the first growth Bordeaux's like Chateau Lafitte for example if you have any of it don't drink it just sell to the Chinese because they're spending thousands of dollars a bottle for Chateau Lafitte It's like their favorite wine of prestige wine right now to buy in China and what you do which reminds me, which irks me to some extent because I had some that could have sold. So those wines traditionally have been counterfeited for probably hundreds of years and Lafitte in particular has no fancy maybe the newest vintages might

1:27:53 But some of the wineries are putting holograms on the labels or put in special codes, they're doing a lot of anti-counterfeiting methods. As far as I know Lafitte's not doing that and I think the Chinese can copy those bottles and then put them on the auction because most of the Chinese when they have an expensive bottle when they're just showing it off... They pull this stunt especially the... A lot of the Chinese are cheap And as you guys reflected in the amount of money we get from China. Donations, yes. China by the way would you please say it correctly? China! So I'm in a restaurant high end place to be taken out to dinner by some rich Malaysian Chinese guy who is head

1:28:39 head of the South China post group is he's a billionaire. So we're sitting there and he's going to show, uh, he's gonna bring out some great wine for us. And so he brings out this bottle. I forgot what it was, but it was like some expensive really obscure vintage of very expensive Bordeaux and he has it. The waiter comes out and brings it on. He hands it to me holds it says look, look, looking at makes everyone look at it. And then he sends the wine back and brings out some piece of crap that we drank What was that about? It was the show that he had, I don't know. It was like something to show off and then he decided made it as though well you know i don't think this wine would be appropriate for tonight let's get and then he ordered something else and it's just a cheap wine

1:29:20 This China guys, mercy had to show us the bottle that so it's proved that he's a big shot and then we drink the cheap crap. And I'm saying what is this bull? And I realize that the Chinese are buying up all these Bordeauxs right now for that exact purpose or not drinking these wines there just showing them damn sure the counterfeiters can make a fortune. So this does bring me back to my app idea which i think we could still resurrect the John C Dvorak wine recommendation app where you're in a restaurant and if you don't know what to order then you just take a picture with your phone through this app of the wine list that is then sent to you

Sunday Times Analysis, Dutch Multiculturalism, Online Gambling

John C. Dvorak reviews the Sunday Times, noting the coverage of the Iowa poll and a trend toward states legalizing online gambling to cover budget deficits. They critique an article about Dutch multiculturalism, arguing it misrepresents the political climate in the Netherlands and ignores the assassinations of Pim Fortuyn and Theo van Gogh.

1:38:05 House magazines and say they talk about their fire pit where they have conversation with friends in stargaze And they've got the big walk-in freezer. Yes, yeah, but with the hooks Yeah John's gonna harm the Sunday Times. Time once again for John C. Dvorak weekly segment as he takes a look at the Sunday Times Well, pushing... I'm looking at the Sunday Times The Iowa poll goes to Bachman Paul is second they do give him credit and on the top photo they have four photos spread and the one far upper left is Ron Paul and his wife

1:38:46 Cool. Midge, and whoever her name is. And then Bachmann and then below Paul is Rick Perry and then Palenti who's just not getting anywhere I don't know why they brought him on. He dropped out he just announced today that he dropped out Yeah everyone's worried yeah well he should have dropped out he got nothing going on Then now the top left story written by Matt Erichtel for some interesting reason, starved budgets inspire a new look at web gambling states covet revenues. I think that this is going to happen we're gonna see a bunch of states

1:39:23 promote web gambling on the various websites. You know, that's what you do when you're broke, the country is broke soak the public with a gambling scam. Wait a minute so it's going to be like on the actual state website? You'll have a picture of the Capitol and next to that it will be like Texas Hold'em I would think its more to promote... It doesn't really say but uh..it sounds to me as though what they are gonna do is they are gonna promote more lottery games You know, it's like the state of California for example. We put some years ago we were always against it but we put together a state lottery to help education. Oh yeah! All the money is going to go to education and I get 50% payback so for every million dollars that goes in 500 thousand paid out which is extremely low So uh... so I was asking about this with somebody lately

1:40:14 And I said, so what happened? You know, I thought we're supposed to do how come our schools are in the tank. I thought all this lottery was going to push us over the top and make everything great. No, what happened was as soon as they did the budget on the lottery of how much money it was going to provide education, they took the education budget and moved it someplace else. Yeah, It wasn't on top of the education budget. It was a replacement just to keep it going Unbelievable. So anyway, so I go inside the papers because the front page isn't really... you just heard everything and there's a huge article that runs from page

1:40:53 7 to... let's see what does it start on? 6 and it cuts the nut to page 8. It's on, the headline is amid the rise of multiculturalism Dutch confront their questions of identity You know I read this article because someone sent it to me. It is the most inaccurate piece of crap I have ever read It's pretty bad. And it's really, they're saying that because of Geert Wilders that its the next Oslo essentially That was my take away from this piece Well I didn't get that, but when you read and print it you get a different impression But if we get... I knew one tidbit which is beside the point of the overall article Which is somebody complaining and um... I know exactly what your going to say

1:41:37 Oh yeah, I'm sure you do. Let me just quote from this one paragraph... They don't speak Dutch. They don't know Holland and they saw the sexual revolution feminism and youth anarchism as a provocative provocation Mr.. Mark Cooch said he remembers his father saying with contempt He's an immigrant with contempt quote women are the bosses here I thought you were gonna read the piece about the woman who says in the 80s, I could sunbathe topless on my balcony No, this is better. You can still bathe Sunday, well maybe you can't but women are the bosses so is that right Adam? So Mickey's wearing the pants in the family it's disgusting Yes she is! She's the boss of me That's okay I like it Do you know how she wakes me up in the morning? She says, Ak-Toon! He goes like this

1:42:36 She claps her hands, and then she goes like you know how like you lead a horse when you want the horse to walk into the stable? She'll go come here. Come on. She's probably just put some meat under your nose Some oats Oats Good morning! Yeah they failed to mention that Pim Fortan was killed by an animal rights activist They failed to mention it was one week before the election where his party was going to sweep the elections And the fact that there were multiple bullets and all kinds of stuff. And then our good friend Theo van Gogh, who got machine gunned down and then his half-his head cut off... ...and then they stuck a note into his chest with a knife. Yeah I think that's a setup to me it felt like a big set up for some kind of event happening in Gitmo Nation

CHAPTER 19 / 29 Discussion

Al-Qaeda Rebranding, The New York Times "Kaida"

The hosts notice a shift in terminology by The New York Times, which has begun referring to Al-Qaeda simply as "Kaida." They speculate on the reasons for dropping the "Al" prefix and whether it constitutes a rebranding effort by intelligence officials.

al-qaeda· the new york times· kaida· rebranding· media terminology

1:43:30 Lowlands which is sad, but it feels right feels like it's time there I thought the good crazy incident that happened on Queens day a couple years ago where they guys trying to run down the Queen Hey kill date people yeah doing the peak of that stuff. No. I think we're due for something really bad unfortunately Yeah, what can you say did you have any more? No, I think that's about it. Well before we wrap it I found something in a Times article from a little bit earlier this week that I wanted to ask you about if you don't mind me putting That under the humming The Sunday Times. I think there's a rebranding effort at work for al-qaeda well You know by and we've talked about this before the for one thing The New York Times keeps using the word kida yes And they leave Al off

1:44:21 Have we started a kydek Ida kydek, but this has been going on and I mentioned this on the show if you recall about three months ago when? I first when I first got my time subscription. No, I was I started noticing this so I don't know what the point of it is Yeah, I didn't notice that maybe we did talk about it I can't recall but here's the headline is kyde trying to harness toxin for bombs us officials fear and then in the article it literally says You know, CAIDA. CAIDA, CAIDA, CAIDA! Intelligence officials say they have collected evidence that CAIDA operatives... Why is that? Isn't Al-Qaeda how...? I mean you can just say, you know, DAMN instead of ADAM. Damn makes no sense

CHAPTER 20 / 29 Discussion

PBS Advertising, Curious George, Corporate Sponsors

John C. Dvorak criticizes PBS for running what he considers traditional commercials during children's programming like Curious George. He lists sponsors such as Rainforest Cafe and Chuck E. Cheese, questioning why the network still solicits viewer donations while accepting corporate advertising.

pbs· advertising· curious george· chucky cheese· rainforest cafe

1:45:03 It's like calling, uh... I don't know. Maybe you think Al is like his first name! Like Al Capone? Why are we using Al?! Al Capone! There ya go that makes a lot of sense. Al Capone, Al Qaeda. It's the same thing Same thing. Same guy. They've buried al-Qaeda out in the New Jersey Meadowlands Hey talking about advertising so PBS Has decided to start running advertising in the middle of their shows now every 15 minutes Every 15 minutes, but I was watching PBS kids As one brainwashing the kids yeah So I have us this is what this is one of the breaks This is right after The Monkey Show that they have on PBS the monkey show curious George Oh Which I think it's a Steven Spielberg show to be honest about it would anyway

1:45:59 So they break from the show and then they were they started a ran run off Two solid minutes of commercials that are worth listening to because they use kids with the way. I want to use kids with the mofo For example adios mofo They use kids as their announcers and we want to, and you said you were going to get that clip of all the or I guess you do have it. You play it last time? Yeah. The kid's trying to say all our themes but anyway play this so they see what you have to put up with on PBS and then we can maybe comment on the fact that they're making kids go to Chuck E Cheese.

Well that was gonna be my question before we went into that it is It is just commercials and they're selling theme parks and all kinds of other crap. It's ridiculous They always have a thing I think they limit the commercial to having some sort of message well you have to make them boring You gotta miss going to be more like that just boring. That's unbelievable. I mean if there were any good it would be like That would be good

CHAPTER 21 / 29 Discussion

Rick Perry's Israel Pronunciation, Tel Aviv Food Riots

The hosts mock Rick Perry's unique pronunciation of "Israel" in a campaign clip. They transition to news of massive protests in Tel Aviv over rising food costs, noting that protesters have brought out a guillotine to signal their anger toward the government and speculators driving up wheat prices.

rick perry· israel· tel aviv· food prices· wheat speculation· guillotine

1:49:02 Yeah, that would be better. They don't have that. Hey by the way so I got this clip Rick Perry and he says Israel in a funny way and he... So i repeated it so you could really understand try to figure out what... He's gonna... This little clip is mocking the fact that he can't pronounce Israel. He pronounces it....I don't even know how this...what this is! Our president has insulted our friends. And he's encouraged our enemies Come in his nose at traditional allies like Israel. He seeks to dictate new borders for the Middle East

1:49:42 and the oldest democracy there, Israel. He is an abject failure in his constitutional duty to protect our borders in the United States. Israel! Well that's a new name for it so I have a news item from Israel That you know we got a hundred thousand people on the streets now in Israel because there's no food in Israel that anyone can afford and the protesters have brought out a guillotine. Did you see the picture? Yeah, it's great! It is a real one too I think that-that's a new meme This is because spec-there's a known fact that that speculators

1:50:23 or actually speculate. This is always considered one of these forbidden things you're not supposed to do, I mean you can speculate on silver, you can speculate on copper, you can speculate on gold, you can speculate on anything but you cannot speculate except when there's a shortage like the coffee industry say that the whole crop was ruined yeah you can buy up your futures there but just to speculate the way they do with oil on food has always been considered something you don't do, but that's what the speculators are doing. So what kind of food are they speculating on? Wheat mostly and that's why you have these wheat prices going through the roof. They're trying to corner the market on wheat and if you remember when the Tunisian... Cocoa. Well yeah, that too but if you remember where the Tunisian and Egyptian back story was there with the bread was too expensive

1:51:16 So people were going out in the streets and they're getting all irked about this. And so now they- food is getting, you know bread mainly it's too expensive It's gettin' expensive there in Tel Aviv and Israel I got a house in Tel Aviv and Israel That's why I'm doin'. John! This being the second half of the show You kind of like...you know? I had to mention something that said The Stargate is open. I have proof. You have proof? I have proof The Stargate is open This is a report from Milton, New Hampshire. The Stargate is open! Well Milton is at least 40 miles from the ocean so you can imagine the surprise when Milton police got the call that a shark had been discovered in town tonight they continue to investigate where it came from as neighbors are left dealing with- It's those fish, it's that Fish Stargate That's right! The fish are now flying out forty miles inland

CHAPTER 22 / 29 Discussion

Hillary Clinton, Norway Foreign Minister, Syria Condemnation

Hillary Clinton is shown meeting with the Norwegian Foreign Minister, who makes a strange comment about teenagers "ending their lives" at a political summer camp. Clinton uses the phrase "crescendo of condemnation" to describe international opposition to the Assad regime in Syria. The hosts analyze her rhetorical style and the shifting "chorus" of international opinion.

hillary clinton· norway· syria· assad· crescendo of condemnation· libya

1:52:17 They're just wiggin' out for a big six-foot shark. I told you! Some guy caught the shark and thought it would be funny to drive it into town 40 miles away It's clearly no agenda producer who is like, I'm gonna get curry on the Stargate Watch this So Lucifer Clinton had a meeting with the foreign minister from Norway And she did her little clippity-clop, coming out on her clogs walking in. She likes that dramatic entrance by the way you should go to state.gov You can see all of her videos it's always the same They have two big doors and then Clippity-Clop, Clippity-Clop here she comes This guy was... He said something weird which maybe was just a The way he speaks English but I didn't like it As a foreign minister I've seen as my task

1:53:17 transmit these warm words to the families. And I've been going from funeral to funeral, you know? To follow young teenagers who ended their lives because they went to a political summer camp." Isn't that weird?! They ended their lives because they went to political summer camp! You think that's just because it's a translation thing? I think it is a translation issue. Okay, well anyway so while I was watching this because obviously you know I'm very interested and Lucifer's out there and she's thanking him for all the work in Libya and its all fantastic And of course we know that my other favorite woman in the world Susan Rice Is working over there at the UN and hopefully will get some What was the word she used

1:54:05 It was like the, I'm loathe- I am loathe to think about Loathe And so Lucifer comes out and she's got a new one. She's working on the marketing, on the marketing... How are we gonna- what is it? We need some words! We need some marketing that'll really work to show how pissed off everybody is at this horrible Assad regime in Syria I mean there's no chance of any techno experts or anything in there and here she is. Hold on second that's not the one I wanted to play. I'm so sorry Here it is. That's the second one I gotta play for you. Oh, come on! Come on Hillary! And there isn't one Scott... This is weird what is this? You have the same clip twice with two different titles Now here it is In addition we discussed Syria where we both remain acutely concerned about the Assad regime's campaign of violence against their own citizens

1:55:06 Norway and our other European allies have been strong, consistent voices on behalf of the Syrian people. And I commend them for their advocacy. The Assad regime's continued brutality is galvanizing international opinion. There has been a crescendo of condemnation." A crescendo of condemnation John! This is good let's hear it crescendos. How does the crescendo sound? Crescendo. What is a crescendo? That's when the whole band cranks it up and goes blast some, you know... A couple of notes out there. That's the way maybe a big piece might end with a crescendo. That's the cymbal crescendo I just played for you So the crescendo bear that one in mind it will come back Not only from the world but in particular from the region

1:56:01 After the Security Council statement, we've seen movement in rapid succession from the Arab League, the GCC, Saudi Arabia, Turkey and others. The United States will continue to work with our partners to turn this growing consensus into increased pressure and isolation for the Assad regime. In particular, we urge those countries still buying Syrian oil and gas. Those countries still sending Assad weapons. Those countries whose political and economic support give him comfort in his brutality to get on the right side of history." Ooh! Get on the right side of history! Those countries? What is she talking about Russia? Well so there was actually a question

1:56:52 Which I don't have because she didn't answer it and was like well, what countries are you calling out Lucifer? What were you talking about so she didn't even answer the question however She did go on CBS News And she actually flubbed it because she was supposed to say crescendo and she came up with something different And then she called out those countries isn't one Scott. So part of what we've been encouraging and trying to facilitate Is for the opposition to become unified You're not gonna say yes to go We are, I think building the chorus of international condemnation. Oh no! Not the chorus! She blew it! Yeah and so this is... Here it is the chorus of international condemnation she totally blew that one

CHAPTER 23 / 29 Discussion

Syria Sanctions Act, Path to Persia, Wesley Clark

Adam Curry deconstructs Senate Bill 1472, the Syria Sanctions Act of 2011. He argues the bill is not actually about stopping atrocities in Syria but is a "front" for targeting Iran and forcing Syria out of Lebanon. He plays a classic clip of General Wesley Clark discussing a 2001 Pentagon memo to "take out" seven countries in five years, including Syria and Iran.

syria sanctions act· joe lieberman· iran· lebanon· wesley clark· pentagon memo

1:57:40 So she meant core is meant a crescendo but now became chorus and here She calls out the country's been very clear in what we have said about his loss of legitimacy But what we really need to do to put the pressure on Assad is To sanction the oil and gas industry, and we want to see Europe take more steps in that direction And we want to see China take steps with us. We want to see India because you know China have large energy investments inside of Syria. We want to see Russia cease selling arms to the Assad regime." She's laughing! That was crazy Russian! So she is calling out China, India and Russia and in the clip that I didn't finish the whole press conference she says there are new sanctions did you know that there are new sanctions against Syria?

1:58:37 No, I knew of none of this. Well so i go and look at the whitehouse.gov and there's nothing from the president. And like well this is weird... you know? It turns out that Ambassador Ford who is the ambassador to Syria has uh is promoting a new bill A Senate bill, oh my goodness how surprising. Joe Lieberman once again is at it now you know that he put in all the sanctions against Libya this is a Senate Bill 1472 serious sanctions act of 2011 Now the way I understand these atrocities have to stop This is ridiculous Assad is a mass murderer We're going to put sanctions in place until he stops

1:59:25 So, first what do you think these sanctions are? You tell me. You are not allowed to make an investment described in subparagraph B of more than 20 million dollars in Syria What kind of sanction is that?! It's not like stopping anything, it's just saying well that's ridiculous. 20 million dollars or you cannot make a combination of investments described in subparagraph b in a 12-month period if each such investment is of at least 5 million dollars and such investments equal or exceed 20 million dollars in the aggregate or sell lease and provide Syria good services technology information or support described in sub paragraph c

2:00:11 Which, and this is subparagraph C has a fair market value of $1 million or more. So there's not a sanction! It's a cap! Not only that but let's go over something else which I'm looking at now from the book of knowledge so she calls out these countries and she mentions the oil industry which is really very minor in Syria it barely has any oil less than 530 thousand barrels I think they have refinery. Don't they have refinery capacity? They might, but here's what the point is she calls out these people that are sending all this stuff to and trading with main export partners of Syria number one

2:00:49 Iraq, number two. Iran? Germany! Oh, Germany. Number three Lebanon, number four Italy, number five France Egypt Saudi Arabia Where is India and China?! China They're not even listed and then the import partners yes Number one Saudi Arabia How come she doesn't mention them but then apparently because China is an import partner in other words China's sending their crap there which they do everywhere Russia and Italy again This is bullcrap. Well, let me now here's where the real bull crap comes in section 9 of Senate bill 1472 termination of sanctions now from what I understand we have a crescendo or chorus of condemnation against these atrocities of people being killed

2:01:37 So, to end these sanctions I would presume that if Assad either got out or ended the atrocities kind of what they said to Gaddafi that the sanctions would be lifted. Right? Doesn't that make sense? No! Oh no... Termination of sanctions in general the requirement to impose sanctions and any imposed under Section 4, shall terminate on the date on which the President, that's Barry, submits to the appropriate congressional committees the following. One, certification described in Section 5D of the Syria Accountability and Lebanese Sovereignty Restoration Act of 2003." Really? Well let's take a look at that! The government of Syria will have to cease providing support for the international terrorist groups

2:02:36 and not allow terrorist groups such as Hamas, Hezbollah, Palestinian Islamic Jihad the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine General Command to maintain facilities under Syrian control. Approximately 20 000 Syrian troops this is from the 2003 document and security personnel occupy much of the sovereign territory of Lebanon under the undue influence of its government and undermining its political independence So what they're saying is, they have to get out of Lebanon in order for these sanctions to be lifted. What does that have to do with anything? Of atrocities against his own people! It's just a front, it's the whole nothing... I wouldn't say nothing to see here but the whole thing is a scam And everywhere in this bill is about Iran, Iran, Iran, Iran, Lebanon, Iran, Iran, Iran, Lebanon This is the path to Persia

2:03:40 It's not at all about Assad killing people because it is not mentioned here. And by the way, the path to Persia which would be interrupted if Ron Paul got anywhere... Oh yeah! ...is the reason you're going to see less and less of him Let's just listen to General Wesley Clark one more time as he talks about that path to Persia and let's see if he mentions some of these countries About ten days after 9-11 I went through the Pentagon and saw Secretary Rumsfeld and Deputy Secretary Wolfowitz. I went downstairs just to say hello to some of the people on the joint staff who used, used to work for me and one of the generals called me in he said sir you gotta come in, you gotta come in and talk to me a second. And I said well your too busy He says no, no, he says we've made the decision were going to war with Iraq This was on or about the 20th of September. I said were going to war with Iraq? Why

2:04:31 He said, I don't know. He said, I guess they don't know what else to do? So uh...I say well did they find some information collecting connecting Saddam to Al-Qaeda he said no no there's nothing new that way they just made the decision to go to war with Iraq he said i guess it's like we don't know what to do about terrorists but We've got a good military and we can take down governments. And he said, I guess if the only tool you have is a hammer every problem has to look like a nail So i came back to see him a few weeks later

2:05:07 and by that time we were bombing in Afghanistan. I said, are we still going to war with Iraq? And he said oh it's worse than that He reached over on his desk and picked up a piece of paper and said... ...he just got this down from upstairs meeting the Secretary of Defense office today This is a memo that describes how we're gonna take out seven countries in five years starting with Iraq then Syria Lebanon Libya Somalia Sudan and finishing off Iran It's on track! Apparently I just found that to be outrageous, that not a single journalist takes the time to look at this douchebag bill and says hold on a second it has nothing to do with Assad. They don't even mention him killing his own people which they did in Resolution 1973 for Gaddafi but now there's like no one reads that crap we don't need that let's go straight to what we really want. Cut to the chase! Yeah we just want Lebanon get out of hell out of Lebanon so we can get to Iran

CHAPTER 24 / 29 Discussion

Military Recruitment, Video Game Tournaments, The Last Starfighter

A Russia Today report describes how U.S. military recruiters are targeting teenagers at video game and paintball tournaments. The hosts compare this to the plot of the movie "The Last Starfighter," where a youth is recruited by aliens after mastering a video game.

military recruitment· russia today· video games· paintball· the last starfighter

2:06:09 It's just unbelievable. Thank you, mainstream media! Good job everybody! Now of course we're going to need plenty of soldiers... ...to do this Russia Today had a nice little piece about the recruitment of our fine American young men and women into the armed services and how they do it. "...strengths that change the way people see them." They're strong, and then there is Army Strong. From televised ads to Hollywood blockbusters to video games, to American presidents dubbing soldiers the real patriots. Each of them adds honor to what it means to be a soldier sailor airman marine and coast guardsmen The image of the American warrior is portrayed as that of the invincible hero Times Square one of the number one entertainment spots in the Big Apple attracts millions from around the world and across the US Apart from the flashy lights and billboards

2:07:03 center right here, one of hundreds just in New York. The memorizing techniques luring young Americans into serving are more sophisticated than ever before. Sponsoring video game tournaments and paintball tournaments and then going up to these young kids who perform well and say hey the US military needs you we see your skills at this video game and of course to a 15 or 16 or 17 year old This is something that's very enticing. It's a cruel and deceptive type of recruitment they want to use all the hippest tools they can to make being in the military as cool as possible so apparently we have recruiters out there

2:07:42 We're at video game tournaments and then going up to these kids and saying hey, man. You got some wicked skills Yeah, we could use a guy like you ever thought of being a sniper for money yeah, this reminds me of the movie The Last Starfighter which for some unknown reason I don't believe has had as a second version of the same movie And that's who essentially the story was there was a video game set up somewhere and then whoever could beat this game some kid finally did would be recruited by some some space aliens because Everything in the game that if you could do it. It wasn't required in the game You could fight for them, you know The Galactic Army the galactic holds elect to counsel and they hauled him off and I think there's probably not a bad theory

CHAPTER 25 / 29 Discussion

Military Suicides, Tenth Deployment, JBLM

The hosts discuss the tragic rise of suicides among U.S. military personnel, noting that suicides now outpace combat deaths. They highlight the case of an Army Ranger at Joint Base Lewis-McChord (JBLM) who took his own life just before his tenth deployment. Adam Curry uses this to reiterate his support for Ron Paul's anti-war stance.

military suicide· ptsd· jblm· army ranger· deployment

2:08:32 And of course that Russia Today piece would have been much better if the girl was hot. Jeez, hello Russia Today we're ready! We've got inventory for you. CurryDevorahConsulting.com Then of course, just this last piece to put it all into perspective. At this point according to the statistics I've seen there have been more deaths of US military men and women due to suicide than actual bullets from Taliban and Al-Qaeda And in this piece you're about to hear You get part of an idea of why this is happening It's very sad

2:09:16 But when you hear some of the numbers it will just freak you out. Sergeant Kirkland did not kill himself, that he was killed by the Army It's an accusation that has been leveled at the military with greater frequency as more and more soldiers commit suicide while on active duty Derek Kirkland, who tried to kill himself three previous times took his own life at JBLM 17 months ago. By all accounts he sought help for post-traumatic stress disorder but his mother Mary Corkle who traveled from Indiana says the army did nothing they could have saved him on that Friday morning if anybody would have went to his room and seen them bloodstains because he did not kill herself until late Friday night last month he had a gun to his head three times

2:10:00 yelling, screaming. Ashley Hegeman's husband Jared an army ranger shot and killed himself on June 28th at JBLM days before he was scheduled to go on his 10th deployment overseas. Tenth deployment! Oh man... TENTH DEPLOYMENT! Vote for- I'm- please vote for Ron Paul At least he is going to get this crap over with. Tenth deployment no wonder This is crazy. I went to Iraq and within the first night there were big marines crying on my shoulder, they didn't know what the hell they were doing there. It's just outrageous! Yeah anyway... So we got a couple of clips that kind of make us think... Bring us up Johnny boy bring us up Alright well here is a clip from 2004 Obama on importance of experience

CHAPTER 26 / 29 Discussion

Obama Experience Flashback, S&P Downgrade Frustration

A 2004 clip of Barack Obama shows him stating that he lacked the experience to run for national office at that time. The hosts contrast this with a recent speech following the S&P credit rating downgrade, where Obama expresses frustration and tells the public they "deserve better."

barack obama· 2004· s&p downgrade· experience· campaign

2:10:57 that was done on a local radio station in the Chicago area. Flashback to 2004, Barack Obama had just won a landslide victory to become Illinois' next U.S. Senator At the time he ruled out running on a national ticket in 2008 suggesting back then that he lacked experience So why have you ruled that out? Running nationally You know I am a believer in knowing what your doing when you apply for a job And I think that if I were to seriously consider running on a national ticket, I would essentially have to start now.

2:11:39 before having served a day in the Senate. Now, there's some people who might be comfortable doing that but I'm not one of those people." So meanwhile he gives us one of these speeches after the downgrade and all the rest of it and the way I interpret this is that Obama says we deserve better than Obama... And tell me why am wrong with this interpretation of his little chat? It was a self-inflicted wound. That's why people are frustrated, maybe you hear it in my voice that's why I'm frustrated because YOU deserve better! You guys deserve better! Yes! That's right! Go home! GreenGo go home! Is that what he said? He says...you know..I'm frustrated and you deserve better or something. I mean sounds like to me that he is giving up Well he is giving up and thats a prediction that you've made and im down with it

CHAPTER 27 / 29 Discussion

Electronic Skin Tattoos, RFID Syringes

The hosts discuss a study in the journal Science regarding electronic skin tattoos used for monitoring physiological status. They link this to previous discussions about RFID tracking devices being injected via syringes during vaccinations.

2:12:43 I don't want to spend more time with Malika. By the way, all he does is campaign This is ridiculous this guy ever the president? No Well the other guy is The other Obama Well maybe The one that's been rebooted Hey here's a good story for you Monitoring device has a skin tattoo nowadays So this gonna go somewhere I bet Yeah Oh there was a clip, it was a cue Oh I'm sorry What is it called Monitoring devices, skin tattoos is what it's called. Really amazing, Wolf. You know it can sound like the stuff of science fiction. Researchers have come up with a device that they see is blurring the line between biology and electronics It also has the potential to be used far beyond medicine When you think about tattoos medical advances are probably not the first thing that comes to mind But consider this small electronic tattoo of sorts A study in the journal Science says this tiny device can fundamentally change the way patients are monitored

2:14:00 University of Illinois professor John Rogers is the study's co-author. How do you see this device being used immediately? In terms of near term applications would be in clinical use, in hospitals for monitoring health wellness physiological status The beating at the heart brain activity and muscle contraction say researchers You know the Germans tried that tattoo thing in World War II Yeah that was just for keeping track people But I think you'll recall that I spoke about, there's a company out there that is... forget the name momentarily. This was couple years ago and you poo-pooed it at the time but... No! I never poo-poo'd it. That tracking RFID tracking would be put into syringes and you would get in a vaccination for like, I don't know swine flu or something And they would actually inject this under the skin What's the name of that company?

2:14:56 No, no yeah someone in the chat room remember But oh yeah it's all come true that this is a weird thing John is like all this stuff comes true Including the Stargate opening up so the weirdest story. That's floating around I think we have to address us and if some future shows Is the research on chimeras? Chimera yeah CHIMERA Chimera, which is taken from a Greek mythology. It refers to an organism or person that has two separate sets of DNA within itself and it turns out that a lot of fraternal twins in the womb when they're just born and they're sitting there they actually can even see them on the ultrasound one will subsume the other like eat it? Yeah

CHAPTER 28 / 29 Discussion

Human Chimeras, DNA Testing, Obama Chimera Theory

John C. Dvorak introduces the concept of human chimeras—individuals with two sets of DNA resulting from one twin subsuming another in the womb. He speculates that this could explain certain psychological conditions or gender identity issues. The hosts jokingly suggest that President Obama might be a chimera who consumed his brother.

2:15:57 And then when the baby's born, it actually has the DNA from both people. Okay? And this is like for one thing is causing nothing but trouble because DNA testing now turns out to be pretty dubious and there's a lot of these psychos will have like one strand of DNA that's different in their fingers than they do on their saliva or in whatever body part really Yeah, and I was thinking it because apparently and it turns out the most modern research indicates that these types of incidents is more common than ever believed before. It used to always be considered a freak of nature when you had a chimera which was an animal that had

2:16:38 DNA from itself and it had its own brother inside, actually two arguing brains one taking over the other which leads me to wonder about the bisexuals who have the man of a body and woman inside them that has to come out. and bipolar people who have like two split personalities. Wow! And it turns out now that there's a lot of these guys who are getting off because of DNA testing, who may have done the crime because the DNA test was the test of them and not their other part of them that might have a different DNA structure

2:17:15 And this has become huge. This is going to be one of the biggest stories as it develops, and I think it's largely because of this concept that a bisexual or transsexual... not a bisexual but a transexual... you know the guy who... Or girl! Bono's kid Yeah, you know who seems like more like a guy than a girl after the operation and this is a very interesting phenomenon going on right now in research big big story You say with a little bit of disdain like it's like you know. It's like it's what it is right? It's like this is of course no I was no disdain involved they save the disdain because it's kind of weird that one little you know

2:17:54 Micro, baby would eat the other one or they'd stay somehow They did it sound like he's eating it but they two of them merge and then become one inside the womb It's like. It's kind of good kind of creepy. It's not disdain its creepy is where's my slide whistle? Yeah. Anyway, check it out. There's lots of research out on this and we're going to probably hear more about it because I think it's gonna sneak its way into the public consciousness and then now we're gonna start understanding some things that we've never... We can't figure out why people are bipolar So, a couple of comments on this. First of all, this and all the other autism... ...all these things that are happening This is clearly because of Monsanto And when it comes to DNA stuff or perhaps Chemtrails But either way- shoot man! Maybe this is what happened to our president? Maybe that's why we got two of them

2:18:51 Khaimira. Obama the Khaimira. He tried to consume his brother, but decided to let him go and become the second president of the United States of America Alright we'll keep our eye on that Do you wanna do end-of-show clip with uh... uhh... Manning? Oh, if you got one. Well it's a classic one It's all long-legged mac daddy and how the white people are gonna riot No no okay? Well I have it in the show notes If you want to listen to it again, its hilarious he had Harry Belafonte on the other day Manny yeah What did Belafonte say? Left wing crack? Nothing clippable Really Yeah but he says Obama is no good
