About this episode

NASA reports significant uncertainty regarding the reentry of the UARS satellite as sightings of streaks over Alaska and Port Angeles fuel public anxiety. While debris was feared to land in populated areas like Orange County, the event is being framed as an exercise in psychological warfare or a cover for orbital conflicts. The lack of precision from NASA regarding the satellite's impact point highlights a growing disconnect between government transparency and public safety.

Media coverage of the Occupy Wall Street protests remains sparse, though Keith Olbermann and Michael Moore have begun inciting civil disobedience that some fear could trigger FEMA detainment camps under HR 645. In Denver, over 1,500 officers from 100 agencies participated in Operation Mountain Guardian, a massive counter-terrorism drill involving simulated bombings at Coors Field. Meanwhile, the Online News Association faces claims of a pay-to-play scheme after charging $40,000 for Diamond sponsorship status. In Washington, Representative Lee Terry grilled Energy Department official Jonathan Silver over the $535 million Solyndra loan failure, while Secretary of State Hillary Clinton reportedly oversees psychological operations in Syria involving tens of thousands of painted ping pong balls.

Aldous Huxley’s 1958 interview with Mike Wallace provides a haunting backdrop to modern pharmacological propaganda and the transition toward a centralized New World Order. A listener discovered a photo of host Adam Curry being used as a suspect named Larry in a mock CSI classroom exercise during a parent-teacher night. The program concludes with a satirical pitch for Hallmark-style layoff cards and a final review of the Haqqani crime empire.

00:04 Adam Curry, John C. DeVora. It's Sunday, September 25th, 2011. Time for your Gitmo Nation Media Assassination Episode 342. This is no agenda. Broadcasting the voice of treason from high atop the hilltop watchtower crackpot command center in the People's Republic of Southern California in the morning everybody I'm Adam Curry and from northern Silicon Valley where is the voice of raisins? I'm John C. Dvorak I Actually tried to get the domain name voice of treason like that's perfect taken

00:41 Please can't be taken yeah, and then the voice of treason taken like that's perfect name for a show no no go Yeah, John watch out. Yes watch out. What now satellite gonna fall on your head Already fell and they said now that I'm looking at the New York Times today It says they they say they can't figure out where it fell. Yeah, you know it's bull crap. Do you what this is? It is so obvious that they have every and by the way we highlighted this Item two weeks ago. We talked about this on the show and then though even then it was dubious like yeah It's gonna fall somewhere

01:26 So it's so obvious what was going on that we were at war with the grays You know we're blasting these guys out of the sky, and they don't want anyone paying attention to that so yeah look for a satellite You're supposed to say that to the second half of the show So by the way some up in Port Angeles apparently there have been sightings of these streaks across the sky So I think the thing went up looks like it's headed to Alaska John shut up. Please just shut up This is so this is so bogus. This is nothing but an exercise of psychological warfare once again I had Mickey needed new brakes on her car, which is not a happy occurrence by the way a with a with a 99 Range Rover So I take it to my guy Hovic

02:08 You know, Hovick's got like, he's got like the shack over there off of Vineland Avenue. British car, import cars, we repair everything. The whole place is just filled with junkers. And, um, but he's a really nice guy. And he's like, hey! He's from Armenia, I think. Hey, you hear about satellite? I hear it could drop in Orange County. Come on man. Stop. Stop this insanity. I like it. There's no satellite. This thing had already dropped and people are tracking it's still in orbit. It's bull crap. This thing is probably, if any of this is true, it's going to land.

CHAPTER 02 / 34 Discussion

Occupy Wall Street Media Coverage, Michael Moore Criticism

Media coverage of the Occupy Wall Street protests remains sparse, with Keith Olbermann on Current TV being one of the few prominent broadcasters focusing on the 80 arrests made in New York. Michael Moore appears on Olbermann's program to encourage national demonstrations, drawing criticism for his perceived hypocrisy and ties to corporate-funded networks like NPR.

02:45 On the 27th, it'll crash into something right when the president has to go into his movie coming out It's always about a movie. Yeah, of course abduction. It's in theaters now Okay, yeah, it just came out abduction of course. There's a movie out about it. They should but at the whole thing I mean, it's um it was just unbelievable. We got 80 people arrested on Wall Street and And by the way, that story is still ludicrously undercovered. Yeah, you know, again, it's the only guy who I've seen... Actually, I did see a small piece last night, late, Don Lemon on CNN. Everybody, I'm Don Lemon! I'm gay! And I wrote a book about it. Now, here's the news. Is the guy on Current TV, what's his name?

03:33 Oberman. Oberman, yeah. Yeah, Oberman is harping on, he's making hay with this while everybody else snoozes, Oberman is kicking ass. How can that happen? Because no one's watching. It's easy to kick ass when no ass showed up to the fight. As we well know. That's real easy. Now, but there's some bad stuff going on with this. And Oberman had Michael Moron, which by the way, sounds right, doesn't it? Michael Moron. Michael Moore on the show who was doing the rounds again. I don't know what why a guy is he the voice of the people I don't like this man. He was the fat man. Yeah, he irks me in so many ways. Yeah, I find him extremely annoying and he does to very fact that he's a phony. Yeah. Well, yeah

04:18 He does two very very... By the way, did you know that when he was doing that movie about me and General Motors or whatever the heck it is, that he had nothing but he had a million meetings with that guy that he couldn't have a meeting with. He's a liar. He makes, you know, he makes entertainment. So he does two very dangerous things in his speeches, in his little cross talk here with with Olbermann. Two very dangerous things. Well, actually one dangerous and one just shilling for the president. I can't speak for why the networks have not covered this. This is really the very first down on Wall Street in the financial district. By the way, what kind of idiot are you? I don't know why they're not covering it. Are you an idiot, Michael Moore? Are you a total dick?

05:05 They're not covering it because all these networks are paid for by banks. NPR, Ally Bank is their biggest sponsor this year. Are you kidding me? The very first attempt since the crash of 08 to take a real stand and it's been powerful. And I gotta believe that even though it may only number in the hundreds right now, this is gonna grow. Not only on Wall Street, but in communities all over America. And I would encourage people watching... It's not in the hundreds, he's wrong. Keep listening. Listen very closely to what he's saying. to think about okay you can't make it to New York City but there's a branch of Chase Bank in your town there's a branch of Bank of America and there's nothing preventing you from organizing a demonstration outside that branch with signs with possibly even civil disobedience. Now this is very dangerous what he's doing here so first of all the left is co-opting this this what I really truly believe is a grassroots

HR 645 Detainment Camps, Civil Disobedience Warnings

Concerns arise that activists like Michael Moore are inciting civil disobedience that could lead to the activation of FEMA detainment camps under HR 645. References to Ron Paul's warnings about emergency centers suggest a setup for domestic violence, while corporate cash reserves and warnings of street riots from Mayor Bloomberg signal economic instability.

hr 645· ron paul· michael moore· detainment camps· civil disobedience

06:04 Revolt because you know people got nothing to do so that I got I think I'll go down and hang out at Wall Street You know beat some drums and let people know how unhappy I am, but he is now inciting violence Which all things considered we I totally believe that he's he received the call from the administration Hey, man, go out there and rile him up Ride them up and let us just remember what Ron Paul said when asked about HR 645 Do you think Americans are justified in thinking that HR 645 could lead to detainment camps for American citizens during? I don't know this number you have to tell me The emergency center established. Yeah, I know that's their goal. They are setting up the stage for a bomb

06:48 violence in this country. There you go, they're setting the stage for violence in this country and Michael Moore is now a part of it. He's riling people up so that they can be sent to the detainment camps. and now he comes in and shills for the president's job bills to make your voices heard they think they're gonna get away with this these people stole the pension funds of the american public who stole their money who stole the future of our kids and grandkids they think they're kleptomaniacs and they think they're gonna get away with it they are they have taken our democracy and formed it into a kleptocracy uh... and if if if we don't stand up if we don't have our voices heard

07:28 they believe me they're not done yet there's a reason why corporate america and i think you've pointed this out before it they're holding two trillion dollars of cash in their bank accounts they've never done this before which is this is bull crap by the way never held on to that much take it they've taken that money out of circulation and they're waiting they know the other shoes gonna drop in his mayor bloomberg said last week he said there's going to be riots in the street bloomberg another shill riots in the street they're riling them up right now if we don't Provide jobs jobs. Oh, we need some jobs. That's what it is jobs bill pass it now pass it now pass this bill Which I've still not sent to Congress pass this bill now. This is bad, and I don't have any clips of it Maybe you do but there was a whole bunch of news yesterday about the president speaking at the black congressional Congress caucus yeah, and You know I I'm very worried. I'm worried about race riots

Craigslist Protester Carpools, NYPD Pepper Spray Incident

Protesters are organizing carpools to New York City via Craigslist backdoors to join the Wall Street demonstrations. Video footage captures NYPD officers using orange netting to corral participants and pepper-spraying several women, sparking debate over the enforcement of designated free speech zones and police conduct.

craigslist· nypd· pepper spray· occupy wall street· free speech zones

08:27 I'm worried about... Race riots are in the cards. Yeah, but this is predicted by the White House insider. Race riots. It's not going to be... It's one way to get the blacks back out and to vote for Obama's re-election. Get some race riots. Is it really come to that point? You really think that's what's... Meanwhile, yeah it has. And meanwhile, of course, the Mimi unturned the information that The Craigslist postings, we have a backdoor to Craigslist so we can do universal searches. For trannies. I don't know where you go for your trannies but I don't think Craigslist. Craigslist is awesome. So anyway, the point is that there's a backdoor that you can do these and you'll find these carpool searches

09:20 are putting ride shares up there for people to make it to New York from all over the country. Well, and this is very good. Unfortunately, mainstream not covering it. Not good. And I really don't believe this is a leftist movement or a right movement. I think it's just a movement. I'm seeing all kinds, I'm watching this live stream all day. Well, you start looking at the stuff online on YouTube where this stuff keeps getting taken down but you run into a lot of, it's a variety of people that are bitching and moaning on Wall Street is extremely varied. It's diverse for sure. Very diverse. But you know, as you pointed out on the last show, this was not set up by the State Department, so this can't get any coverage. It's no good. You can't, hey, hey, hey, slaves, you can't just start like a riot without us controlling that. That's not good. You can't do that. And that's exactly what's taking place. Well, I'm all for it. I keep thinking that this is going to start to spark more. I'm going to start to occupy Wall Street radio or something like that and just,

10:21 It's an idea. This is Occupy Wall Street Radio. The cops are on the move. I got one clip if you go to Dvorak.org slash blog you'll find a couple of clips about this that are from various postings. The only broadcaster that covered it in any to any extent is RT. Yeah. It's kind of embarrassing but anyway they show a lot of people in the street with some of this b-roll that they just have posted all over the place and one guy's moaning about how come where's the lawyers we need the lawyers where's our leaders we need this movement needs leaders. Wait is that a call?

10:58 So it's that same old, it's that same old need to be, you know, nobody can really think for themselves they need a leader. So I don't know. Well there was one, so the one thing that was very disturbing and I saw the the raw video footage and not not being there makes it rather difficult to actually see what's going on but to me the action of the New York City Police Department were unwarranted in what they did. Here's a 18 second clip of the report. Police arrested at least 80 people in New York City demonstrating against bank bailouts. Officers tried to corral people who were being unruly with orange netting. This video also shows one woman getting pepper sprayed. Police said the reason they used that force was because of protesters' disorderly conduct. So, I don't know if you saw that video. There's like three, four chicks, you know, with bare midriff outfits on. It's kind of cool.

11:55 And they're yelling and they're hooting and hollering on the sidewalk. And then the cops bring up this orange meshing, which is kind of like, it almost looks like construction mesh that you use instead of a fence just to put something up there for a second. Or maybe in Hollywood Hills you'd use it for stuff that's rolling down the hill. And they start to wrap them in that and all of a sudden one cop just like maces these chicks. Like, yeah. It's not like they were throwing any, not that I can see, Disorderly conduct, well because you weren't in the free speech zone. That's the problem. These people aren't playing by the rules. You have to go to the free speech zone, which I think is somewhere west 190th Street. That's where you can go be in your free speech zone. That's the problem. That's why it's disorderly conduct. Good on these people. Mickey actually said yesterday, should we go to New York? I think you should.

Online Journalism Awards, ONA Sponsorship Costs

The Online News Association (ONA) held its 2011 awards in Boston, naming Randy Carvin the "Chuck Norris of Twitter" while granting top honors to major sponsors like the BBC and Al Jazeera. Analysis of sponsorship packages reveals that "Diamond" status costs $40,000, leading to claims that the awards are a pay-to-play marketing scheme rather than a merit-based journalism competition.

HP Technology Genius Awards, Ray Lane Controversy

Ray Lane invited guests to an HP award ceremony just as the company fired its CEO and appointed Meg Whitman. The event required high-priced table purchases, mirroring the expensive sponsorship models seen in other industry award ceremonies where QR code placement and exhibit tables are sold for tens of thousands of dollars.

21:13 buddy of that persuasion and the whole thing was hushed up and it was a very interesting story. You'd have to hear the whole thing but it's an indicator that you just set me up for a great story and it fizzled right there. That's no good. Come on what happened? So the card was... I'm not here to demean anybody. Chuck Norris is a good Republican. Oh my god. Now you've dug the hole even deeper. Wow. So what does a silver sponsor pay, I wonder? And a bronze? No idea. We were laughing the other day about, I got personally invited by Ray Lane to join his award ceremony, the HP, like, what was it, the Technology Genius Awards or something? And, you know, there's like 50,000 to 35,000. You can't go unless you buy a table. What timing, eh?

I have the sponsorship packages in here Oh, okay, $40,000 for the top Online Journalism or a banquet package if you're a diamond sponsor. It's 30,000 bucks And there's various levels you depends on how much free stuff you get and there's only so many There's a $25,000 one that was sold to Boston University. And by the way, why is the university dropping $25,000 of money that could be used for student activities or whatever on something like this? It's PR. It comes from their marketing budget because it puts them in a good light. The Platinum Awards is $20,000 and you get a QR code placed in the conference area. Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute. Whoa, hold on. I smell opportunity. How much for this QR code?

23:10 You spend $20,000, you get 20 for $20,000 ESPN did this by the way, you get a specified number of scannable codes placed in conference area accessible to 1000 attendees.

25:01 The terrorists set off bombs and tossed bodies from a light rail car near Coors Field. They opened fire on officers trying to rescue hostages from an RTD bus. At the same time at Denver's Smedley Middle School, terrorists shot children, took hostages and set off bombs. Forcing SWAT units to work in conditions where communication was almost impossible. At another school, Community College of Aurora, the attacks left mass casualties. The SWAT team has moved in. We are now seeing the Hazmat group go in.

25:42 And it all started at 5 this morning at the Park Meadows Mall. Today is a exercise to test our capability and our capacity to react to the unknown. How many are there? 1,500 officers from more than 100 agencies took part in the test. part in the exercise. More than 500 volunteer actors helped set the stage. None of them knew what they were going to face and had to deal with each crisis as it unfolded. At the end of today our community is better off because their first responders have tested themselves. I gotta tell you I was watching this video and it looks so real. It really did.

26:24 Well, they're just practicing for the false flag. Yeah, well, but these types of, you know, so the false flag, it could also just be pure exercise. You and I have talked about this actually when we were in San Francisco that some of these things you really don't know anymore. I mean, you watch television like, you know, and they threw a doll out of a light rail train onto the tracks and like the doll's head smashed into the third rail. It looked very convincing. I'm like, my goodness, this is horrible. Practicing for the real thing whenever these drills take place something bad happens. I'm my fear I fear happiness recently except this ONA award Yeah Let me go I got hey everybody look at the satellite and don't look at the Chuck Norris of Twitter

27:10 So, I want to thank a couple of our executive producers, but before I do that, I want to bring up, I want to discuss the Diamond Award. This is what people pay. We get like a hundred bucks, fifty bucks from people. Here's the $30,000 Thursday night opening reception sold to. This was paid for by NPR and PBS. This kind of money, people give them money. This is where it goes. Yeah, this is what your money, your donations to our national treasures is going to this. Yeah, here's what you get for $30,000 opening night reception. You're the diamond guy. Introduction remarks. You have the opportunity to address the audience of more than 700 people.

27:53 You also get for keen it for the keynote logo signage you acknowledge you get acknowledges sponsorship placed on live streaming of event so you have a little bug there somewhere. Three count them three full conference passes. Now ten thousand bucks a pass that's a good deal. Six ONA memberships three with full conference passes an additional three to attend conference at the member rate which is a fortune. One full-color ad in conference program guide premium placement, whatever that means. Logo name listed as diamond sponsor on signs at conference. Exhibit table at job fair table. Nice. Insert and promotional item in attendee gift bag. You get to give them something. Wait a minute, job fair? Was there a job fair? Apparently. I mean, I could have gotten a job? Yeah.

28:45 Logo placed in conference email newsletters, logo and link prominently placed on conference website, logo linked and 60 word description on sponsors page on conference website and in program, sponsorship acknowledgement during live streaming, we want to thank PBS, and other considerations negotiable. Alright, John, how did we do today on donations? Terrible. It's because all the money went to these guys. We actually have, I did open the mailbox and I picked up a couple of extra executive producers but let's mention who we have. Sir Lenart Eichermedia, and his last name is cut off by my spreadsheet which is... Erencus I think it is. Renkema. Renkema, right. And Groningen. Groningen. Groningen, the northern part.

29:37 Groninger, the northern part of the Netherlands. Groninger. $399 and with no real explanation of what that money means. Was that a check? No, that's real money. Oh yeah, that PayPal digit, that's real money right there for you. The check comes from James Howard from West Lafayette, Indiana. 345.67, I want to thank him for that. That's awesome, thank you. And then he says, $1400, holy crap, I thought Adam just liked to do to whine a lot, or I thought it said whore a lot. Get out of that, what does this say, extortionate state of mind. Oh yeah, is he talking about my electricity bill? Oh yeah, your ridiculous electricity bill. Yeah. So I looked at the bill by the way, and the graphs, the usage graphs are exactly the same as June.

30:29 when you were yeah, so I wasn't there it's bullcrap yeah so I tweeted it so I see that LADWP Los Angeles Department of Water and Power has is tweeting like power's coming on soon yeah we're working on it hey we restored it real quick so I tweet and I say hey how come I was gone for six of the eight week billing cycle and I'm paying the exact amount as last time Uh, at Adam Curry, please call 1-800-LAWP-KALB-BIRB for information on billing and rating Curry's... Pussies. Anyway, according to James, his contribution puts him over a thousand. We have to check that so we'll give him a knighthood next show. Please don't wave that sword around my middle finger. I need it to tell people what I think of them. Finally, please send some karma to my friend Tim Wang, the American Borrowed and Cloners.

31:22 He's probably depressed after hearing about the other Chinese in episode 339. Alright, here's some karma for you there my friend. You've got karma. And then a associate executive producer ship goes to Sir Michael Miller for $200. It's his birthday yay. And coming from, and then a check comes in from Glasgow. from, let's see who is this, it's not on the check, it's actually a, looks like a bank check, Mark Wilson. So wait a minute, so what you do is to make me not be like bummed out, you see that the PayPal is low, you go to the post office box and you're like rummaging in the corners to see if anything was stuck there, is that what you're doing? Yeah, a couple of checks came in.

32:10 That's great. This is the business we do while the ONA charges $40,000 to those douchebags at PBS to give them money. And the money came from the public. So I went and it goes, it just goes around and around. I'm a student by the way, this is Mark Wilson, he gave us $200. I'm a student and thought I'd drop you a line to say that No Agenda is the best podcast in the world. I would like to ask for a de-douching and some karma for the year ahead. You guys rock. Alright, here we go. You've been de-douched. You've got karma. Double shot, tight.

No Agenda Domain Forwards, Global PR Initiatives

Listeners have registered various domain names like opengovernmentpartnership.com and noagenda.dk to redirect traffic to the show's main website. These PR initiatives include satirical domains such as VaginaPunchline.com and political placeholders for a hypothetical 2016 presidential run.

molly wood· denmark· green drones· open government partnership· domain names

38:40 These are domain names forwarding to noagendashow.com, fudfighter.com. It's kind of interesting. And I didn't know, I was trying to like process this, inyette.com, which apparently means the news in Norwegian. So we might get a couple of people going, let's go to inyette.com, and they'll show up here. Hi Adam big fan of the show been on board since episode 1 had the idea of cloning perfect human resources in international waters and selling the offspring to the childless tech elites However, my southern Korean science team is having a hard time pulling it off So until I get it shaken and bacon clone perfect comm is forwarding to no agenda show. I appreciate that This one is from Molly Wood. Miss Molly would send me an email. It's a forwarded me an email from Trina Maria and then your Molly went to Denmark and

39:35 And so this Trina Maria sent an email to Molly Wood and said, hey, so nice to meet you today. Really love it when we have an occasion to bring the girls together. Here's some details. My husband Hans Hansen, he calls himself from Gitmo Nation Lego, not sure what that means, is a fan of Adam Curry. I think he heard every episode of the Daily Source Code. Of course, he listens to No Agenda. About a year ago, Hans bought noagenda.dk and redirected it to noagendashow.com, although he forgot to tell Adam. I still think it's quite funny when I told him I was going to meet up with you, the Molly Wood. He said, cool, Molly Wood. She knows Adam Curry. Awesome.

40:12 I think Denmark is the home of the Lego. That's why it's Gitmo Nation. I know why, she didn't know why. She doesn't understand the whole thing. She's like, I don't know what that means. There was a recent initiative and this was kind of cool. It started, I think, beginning of the week, the Open Government Partnership. Did you read anything about this at all? No. Well, there was a press release on WhiteHouse.gov which I subscribed to because I have nothing better to do in between watching C-SPAN programs. It's about transparency, accountability and citizen participation. Like telling your slaves that all is well. All these countries have joined up, the Open Government Partnership. It's all about transparency, not killing people, being open and showing them everything. I guess showing them the logs to the White House. It was a big Obama thing.

41:03 So one of our human resources somehow was able to register opengovernmentpartnership.com and that's now forwarding to noagendershow.com which I think is good. I'm sure a couple of people, a couple of elites will be like, let me see how our transparency is doing. They might show up here. Charlie registered a whole bunch of them. rfactor-live.com, simcarworldseries.com, controlvideos.com. There's a whole list. None of them really stuck out, but we appreciate the sentiment. And of course, you can always find the full list of now 700 and growing, maintained by Simon Reid, producer Simon R.

41:43 at domains.nashownotes.com. Of course, people listening to the previous programs and registering some cool domain names to help us get some more juice. Greenagendas.org, now registered and pointing to the show, along with GreenDrones.com, which I think is just fabulous. That could be a product for us. Green drones. AdamCurryForPresident.com, PresidentCurry.com, NoAgendaParty.com, all in anticipation of our run for the White House in 2016. And, uh, yes, what do we have here? CrackedSkullAndBoneSociety.com. That's a good one. Along with VaginaPunchline.com. There you go. That's perfect. Vagina Punchline. Love it. FinalElection.com. And then in the show notes, the update to the No Agenda Human Resource iPhone and iPad game.

NA Social Network, Banner Design Request

The show has launched its own social network, nasocial.net, as an alternative to Facebook's tracking. Producers are requesting community-designed web banners of various sizes to help propagate the "No Agenda" formula across the internet.

nasocial.net· facebook· banners· web design· social network

42:37 Now has a new world, the Hilltop Watchtower, which contains 33 more levels. Go ahead and buy that, pick it up from the app store. And there's a link in the show notes, thank you very much Joe, who put that together. It's a pretty cool game, it's fun. Fun to play. And then this is something new that I just signed up for yesterday with all the Facebook tracking stuff going on. We now have our very own social network, nasocial.net. Yeah, it's a real social network. I also have a little initiative for some of our listeners who maintain blogs and post on, or mini-blogs, whatever they do. So people have been complaining about we don't have any banners, so I've gotten out and go to Dvorak.org

43:23 banners and there's at least three banners you can play with but I'm also requesting anyone who wants to design a banner because I do have a link to the definitive page that shows every conceivable banner size available to anyone who wants to design a banner. Yeah we need some help. Look at your page we need some help. Yeah well I said there's three. Yeah. But the fact of the matter is those are usable. Can I just point something out? You have been saying the fact of the matter an awful lot. Oh, yeah, you got to call me on it Yeah, ring the bell every time I see it, you know because this is what all these deuce bags on TV say and I know why you're doing this I'm watching do I know exactly I know that's what happens you pick stuff up, but it's very dangerous. Yeah, okay anyway, so the fact of the matter is

44:10 Anyway, you can go, there's a link there to a site that is fascinating because it shows every conceivable banner including those big massive ones that sit in the middle of certain web pages. And so if anybody wants to design some banners, and I would just advise, I'll post them on this site as they come in and then you can use them and you can link to them if you don't even want to put the art on your own site. And we get some, and they should all be linked to noagendashow.com for now. So thanks to our executive producers, associate executive producers. You know how it works. These are real credits unlike the phonies in Hollywood. If you ever need someone to vouch for you because you know you essentially did exactly what they do in Hollywood. You support the program, the episode, whatever it is and you get a title, you get a credit and unlike the phonies in Hollywood, you know, we'll actually, we'll answer the phone. We'll say, yeah, it's true. You know, here it is. It's absolutely proof and it was a damn good show too.

45:06 Should you not have any chance to do that? Well, there's one other thing you can do. You can go out and you can propagate our formula. It goes something like this. Our formula is this. We go out, we hit people in the mouth. Alright, let me hear y'all shout it for me now. Shut up, slave. So I do have a history lesson coming up later on? Why don't you do it now? Really? You want to do a history lesson? Yeah, I love history lessons. Okay.

CHAPTER 11 / 34 Discussion

European Union Integration, Global Governance Agenda

European leaders Herman Van Rompuy and José Manuel Barroso are utilizing the Greek financial crisis to push for centralized power in Brussels. Historical comparisons are drawn to previous attempts at European unification, with current efforts framed as a transition toward a "New World Order" and global financial governance.

jose manuel barroso· herman van rompuy· g20· greece· global governance

45:48 So I was thinking about of course the big thing that's happening in Europe and my prediction obviously that where we are headed is towards, this is just one more notch in the chain of the one world government, everything being controlled from one central spot and of course The general idea is we have the Americas, we have the Europe's, we have the Asia's. Is there anything else we need? Have we covered it then? I guess we need the Africa's. Yeah. And then we, so this is all the whole idea, the Trilateral Commission and we got the United Nations handling America and so now we have this, what's happening in

46:31 Europe and I recommend you listen to Dvorak Horowitz unplugged I played it before we started today because you guys always touch on a lot of it and the latest is that the troika which consists of the European Union the United Nations and the International Monetary Fund have now come up with this plan that you know they're not gonna let Greece default because of course that would be very bad and Because then it's just dominoes all the way down I guess they're gonna pump two trillion euros or something into some fund and at the end of this all is Exactly what it what they've been working on for Almost well, yeah since before I was born 1956 is how far this goes back in Europe and it's been tried a couple times Napoleon I think tried it Hitler tried it. They've always tried to put together this big huge Europe and it just doesn't work and

47:20 But the idea is to say, well, you know what? Either y'all are going to starve and die and it's going to be Armageddon or you can give us more power in Brussels. So I went back to 2009 for Haiku Herman. In 2008, actually for Barroso, he's a little bit more egregious. So let's just, and these are short clips, let's just go back to 2009. Heiko Hermann von Rümpel, the unelected president of the United States of Europe, on the BBC, of course he was speaking in French, so the BBC guy is translating what he is saying. We're living through exceptionally difficult times. The financial crisis and its dramatic impact on employment and budgets, the climate crisis which threatens our very survival, a period of anxiety, uncertainty and lack of confidence. Yet these problems can be overcome by a joint effort in and between our countries.

48:21 2009 is also the first year of global governance with the establishment of the G20 in the middle of the financial crisis. The climate conference in Copenhagen is another step towards the global management of our planet. Yes! Awesome! So you can't deny that this is what the guy's plan is. Am I hearing this wrong, John? No, this has been one of the themes of our show since the get-go. So now we have Barroso, who is the... what is his official title, Barroso? By the way, he's all over TV this morning too. Barroso is the president... so Heiko Hermann is the president of the European Commission.

49:03 And Borosso is... Maybe the head of the parliament? I think so, let me just double check. I would hate to... Go to the book of knowledge. Consult the book of knowledge! José Manuel Borosso is the president of the European Commission. So then what is Haiku Herman? He's the... They got so many different things there. Oh yeah, it's a scam. It's just a money grab. It's amazing. He is the full-time president of the European Council, Starfleet Command. Okay. Yeah, so we have the troops down below, that's Barroso, and Haiku Herman is the Starfleet Command. Now this is a little montage of Barroso.

49:51 In the financial crisis, Europe is leading the way towards a global solution. Today, Europe can propose the principles and rules that will shape a new global order. A kind of occasion where the crisis calls into question old certainties and minds are more open to change. These are very special moments. The goal should be to devise a system of global financial governance adapted to the challenges of the 21st century. This is from 2007-2008. They've been waiting for this. I'm looking at his personal details. He was the Social Democratic Party in Portugal and his other political affiliation which just makes nothing but sense to me, the Portuguese Workers Communist Party.

50:41 So then I come across something on... So what he's... So what Barroso is basically saying is this crisis will make people's minds more open towards global governance. So obviously the crisis is set up because that's what they want. This is their big project. This is the big thing they've always wanted to control the slaves of Europe. Right, and then leading to global governance. Of course, now. They want to not control just the slaves of Europe. All slaves. They want us to give up our sovereignty, which is what, you know, there's a lot of people including Obama that are all in on it. They're all in on it. Give up our sovereignty, screw our own constitution and become part of this, you know, New World Order. Which is essentially a global governance system that will prevent, suppose, I mean,

51:30 The internationalists who are behind this, many of them are ex-communists, are behind this because they think it's the only way to prevent some outbreak of another war that can take their property away, which is what always happens. I'm going to disagree with you on that. I think they actually are steering towards war to kill more because there's too many of us. We've got to kill some of them slaves. You know, the Georgia Guidestones say that 500 million people is enough, which is basically... That's a possibility, but it has to be controlled. They can't have a real... War where countries start taking over each other no no no no no that's no good No, and we can't have slaves sitting around my stuff away. Yeah, no we can't have slaves sitting around not working either They can't be non-productive right well. That's what we try to throw as many in jail put them to work there in America We do it so on no agenda news network calm

CHAPTER 12 / 34 Discussion

Aldous Huxley 1958 Interview, Brave New World Prophecies

A 1958 interview featuring Mike Wallace and Aldous Huxley explores the differences between the terror-based dictatorship of "1984" and the consent-based "Brave New World." Huxley warns of a future where pharmacological drugs and subconscious propaganda make citizens "love their slavery," a state the hosts argue has been realized in modern society.

aldous huxley· mike wallace· george orwell· soma· propaganda

52:26 which is a fantastic resource. And by the way, I'm behind on creating accounts. There were some new features that were coming on board and stuff. So I'm one guy here, all right? So it's a lot of work. So if you've requested an account, it's going to happen. NoahGenTheNewsNetwork.com. I think it might have been Robert Leather who put a link to Aldous Huxley. Aldous Huxley, of course, famously wrote A Brave New World, which was the, I would say in a way, the counterbalance to 1984 by George Orwell. And if you've not read A Brave New World, you must, do not pass a go, immediately go and get this book. You can get it, I think, from Gutenberg Press probably for free by now. Yeah, you know, it's weird because when I was a kid, they used to make everyone read that book and now nobody even has heard of it.

53:13 Well, when you were a kid, the ideas were still fresh. Allow me to present... Yeah, and now it's like, if you hear what Aldous Huxley is saying, it's a three-part YouTube series, it's like a half-hour interview. Mike Wallace, actually, interviewing Aldous Huxley in the 50s. And you hear it now, you're like, oh my God! And yes, I actually do mean, oh my God. It's what he was saying then came true. Mr. Huxley, in your new essays you state that these various enemies of freedom are pushing us toward a real life brave new world and you say that it's awaiting us just around the corner. First of all, can you detail for us what life in this brave new world which you fear so much, what life might be like?

54:01 Well, to start with, I think this kind of the dictatorship of the future, I think, will be very unlike the dictatorships which we've been familiar with in the immediate past. I mean, take another book prophesying the future, which was a very remarkable book, George Orwell's 1984. Well, this book was written at the height of the Stalinist regime and just after the Hitler regime. And there he foresaw a dictatorship using entirely the methods of terror, the methods of physical violence. Now, I think what is going to happen in the future is the dictators will find, as the old saying goes, that you can do everything with bayonets except sit on them. But if you want to preserve your power indefinitely, you have to get the consent of the ruled. And this they will do partly by drugs, as I foresaw in Brave New World, partly by these new techniques of propaganda.

55:03 They will do it by bypassing the sort of rational side of man and appealing to his subconscious and his deeper emotions and his physiology even. And so making him actually love his slavery. I mean, I think this is the danger that actually people may be in some ways happy under the new regime but they will be happy in situations where they oughtn't to be happy. I love this. I'm like, wow, drugs and happy and distracted slaves. We're there. Yeah, I think we are. We are there which makes our show ludicrous. And if you listen, if you watch this whole interview, he talks about television

55:50 And you know how well you know it's a very interesting device but it could totally be used to mind control people. And they talks about Soma the drug in his book Brave New World and he talks about all these mind he says not like cocaine or opium. No no no the pharmaceutical industry they're coming up with some really good drugs that will drug people just like Soma. I'm like yeah. John were you not paying attention? You should have warned us earlier. Well, you know, I think I might have. Nobody's listening. They're all over the newspaper, the ONA, the online news. It's dropping 40, 50 grand. Wow. So anyway, that's our history lesson for today. I thought that would be a little fun, little fun thing to listen to.

Fall TV Season Review, Law & Order SVU Dominique Strauss-Kahn Plot

The fall television lineup is criticized for poor quality, specifically targeting new shows like "Whitney" and "Person of Interest." A recent "Law & Order: SVU" episode is highlighted for its "ripped from the headlines" plot involving a fictionalized version of the Dominique Strauss-Kahn sexual assault case.

There you go. Sometimes we must cross boundaries to protect those we care about. Yeah, those hidden messages. I think I like the more overt. I've got a clip here from the new season.

And the other one, we finally saw the one that was overpromoted is Whitney. Now I have not seen that. I've seen the billboards everywhere. That looks like it might be fun. Yeah, well that proves that the old rule is if it's overpromoted that means it's no good. Okay, I haven't seen it so... It's terrible. It's one of the worst shows ever but when you start to deconstruct it you can see because it's named after the actress, Whitney Cummings

58:48 You can see that the show had at its root, which is a goofy woman trying to you know just makes flubs all the time. You could see that it may have had potential if it was cut down but you can see but if you watch it you're gonna see the following Suits came into the picture. You can just see it and said you know we should be a little more like friends Let's add four more people.

They decided to send it, they actually put this guy on trial. And does he go to jail? Does he go to jail? Yes, he goes to jail. Of course, of course, because it didn't unfold the way it was intended to for some reason. Yeah, it's pretty funny. They got the wrong victim. Blueblood propagates Lucy's memes.

Solyndra Congressional Hearings, Energy Department Grilling

Republican Representative Lee Terry grilled Energy Department official Jonathan Silver regarding White House involvement in the failed $535 million Solyndra loan. The hearings explore whether the restructuring of the loan prioritized private investors over taxpayers before the company's August bankruptcy filing.

solyndra· jonathan silver· lee terry· energy department· green energy

1:02:00 Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy. So Congress has a, you know, they're having all these different hearings and so they're trying to nail the president somehow even though they can do really good work if they wanted to get him on these guns going into Mexico. but they seem to be kind of wimping out on that. So they're going to after Solyndra. Right. I watched this hearing. You watched it too, I guess, huh? Yeah, and so the Solyndra guy... Explain Solyndra. I'll do it real quick. So this is the only one of many green energy companies who received half-billion dollar loans. Fisker, the fisting car company from Finland. Fisker.

1:02:40 I also received half a billion dollars for an overpriced battery. And so, Lindra is very, it's very irksome because they were in Washington in like July, like, hey, it's rocking, it's awesome, give us more money. and then in August they file for bankruptcy and the egregious part I believe is that they had already set up an IPO which of course failed and in the IPO the investors were going to get out before the taxpayers money. Which is like wow how do you do that? I'm of the opinion by the way but even though I can't prove it by any means that this whole thing was set up to embarrass the president.

1:03:20 especially once he went to the offices and started giving his speech. But that, like I said, I can't prove anything. I like it. No, I like it. I like it. Yeah, it has. Well, because it's too quick on the draw. It's too coincidental. There's too many bad signs. But it's fun to watch these hearings, and especially when they're grilling some guy And the guys can't answer the question because he's just beating around the bush and he gets away with it. But this is Republican Lee Terry from Nebraska grilling Jonathan Silver of the Energy Department, trying to get him to say the president had something to do with his loan. And then he gets right to the very end and like a douchebag,

1:03:55 He doesn't ask the last question, which I found very annoying, and then they throw it to Markey in Massachusetts who goes nuts saying this is just a setup trying to embarrass the administration because of course he's a Democrat. And this is a classic, you know, Democrat-Republican bull crap item that you get off of C-SPAN, but it is amusing to listen to. Restructuring time period. Well, the restructuring occurred approximately a year later, was largely conducted on a staff-to-staff basis. There were interactions. Was there interactions then? If you're denying that you received any

1:04:35 any communications directly from the White House to you? No, what I'm trying to describe to you... That's my question, so please answer my question. Did you receive during your time there any communications from anyone from the White House regarding the Solyndra loan? That's an easy question. It's either yes or no. And it actually has an easy answer. We work regularly on this transaction and every other transaction with our interagency colleagues at OMB and at the... I said White House. I'm not sure what distinction that is. We work with the OMB and NEC. How about, you want me to start naming individuals, Carol Browner and her staff. Did you receive any communications? I think the question is fairly clear in your answer. It is. Mr. Silvey, you're under oath and he's asked you a question, yes or no.

1:05:27 The question is, do we interact with different agencies? And the answer to that question is yes. I did not say different agencies. I said White House. Well, and individuals in those agencies. We work... Okay, so you did receive... I just want people to know, we actually do enjoy watching this. I mean, if you have the choice between Whitney or a person of interest or Charlie's Angels. You gotta admit, this kicks ass. It's very funny. You can't write it like this. We need to do something with that because it's just funny. It is hilarious. Communications directly to you from somebody in the White House. I don't recall who would have been involved directly. What I can tell you is that the discussions around these transactions

CHAPTER 15 / 34 Discussion

Carol Browner Influence, Solyndra Venture Capital Investors

Testimony links former climate advisor Carol Browner to the Solyndra loan discussions, raising questions about her ties to Al Gore and venture capital firms. A list of investors is examined, including the George Kaiser Family Foundation and various private equity groups involved in the green energy sector.

1:06:22 as Mr. Zients referred to, are conducted on a career staff to career staff basis working to develop the transaction. I just had an idea, John. I'm sorry to interrupt again. We should produce the people's court but with these lines. Right? So, Shaniqua, did you talk to anyone in the White House? Wouldn't that be cool? Yeah. We could do that. That would just use these storylines, but just, you know, do it in the popular setting. People are so dumbed down about how these things work. So once again, have you received, you received,

1:07:02 any communications regarding the Solyndra loan from anyone from the White House. Okay, well, I mean, Mr. Zeitz and I have talked about it. Okay, Mr. Zeitz, have you? It's a fairly clear, obviously, Mr. Silver is not going to answer the question. Well, again, as to the loan itself, I wasn't involved when the loan was closed. As to the restructuring, Yes, I do interact with components of the White House. I would draw a distinction between OMB and the White House to tap into their expertise on energy and on financial markets. Okay. And who was the person that you were communicating with in the White House?

1:07:50 The primary expertise resided at the time in what was then the Office of Energy and Climate Control. That was Carol Browner's office? Carol Browner led that office, yes. Did they suggest to you, my time is up? Thank you, gentlemen. And the gentleman from Massachusetts, Mr. Mark, is recognized for five minutes. Thank you, Mr. Chairman, very much. I'll just note, first of all, that If you want to waste American taxpayers' dollars, let's talk about the oil industry at record high profits getting $41 billion worth of tax money from taxpayers. And secondly, if you want to talk about loan guarantees, the Southern Company has received a loan guarantee 15 times larger than Solyndra. And if we're going to reexamine whether or not that's a good investment after Fukushima, after the earthquake,

1:08:41 near the North Ana plant, let's have that hearing. Because I think that money is in jeopardy if you're really concerned. So Carol Browner, Carol Martha Browner, you know she's an Al Gore lover. Yeah. She was like the climate change girl. Yeah, she's Al Gore's closest confidante. Oh well no wonder. This woman is horrible. Yeah, Gore probably got something to do with this. This is another untold part of the story. Well, of course Gore I'm sure was part of it. Who were the investors in Solyndra? Tell me if it was Kleiner Perkins again, then Gore has a huge conflict of interest to this woman because he's in bed with them. Well, let's find out. Solyndra. Well, it doesn't really matter because I can tell you right now that Fisker is a Kleiner Perkins investment.

1:09:32 and I'm sure that went through Carol Browner as well. Well while you're looking at that, I'm not seeing it, I'm not seeing Solyndra being, oh wait a minute, wait a minute, there's another one, Venture Beat, Green Beat. It could also be the Green Tech Fund, it has some, you know, have some kind of uh... over the internal government disputed salinas salinas salinas global of our five sliders a controversy recipient of a lot and it is a missing were whose funding it'll have some kind of uh... willful look into a george kaiser family foundation u s venture partners red point virgin green fund madrone capital rockport capital are going on to private equity must dar artist capital management

Greenland Ice Melt Data, CERN Particle Research

The Times Atlas is forced to correct claims about Greenland's ice loss after scientists pointed out the actual melt was less than 0.1%, far lower than the reported 15%. Simultaneously, CERN researchers in Switzerland report particles moving faster than the speed of light, potentially challenging Einstein's theory of relativity.

greenland· climate gate· cern· einstein· large hadron collider

1:10:24 I don't know, these are all names that you have to go look at every single one. We will look at that. Meanwhile... By the way, open up the climate gate since we brought this up. Oh my goodness. Here we go. To the gate, to the gate, to the climate gate! Climate gate is open! John! I mean, you called for the gates to be opened. Something big must be going on. Well yeah, the publisher of the Atlas Scrambling to refreeze Greenland. I know, I saw that. Yeah, this happened actually, I think it came out last week. They'd redrawn Greenland to reflect the bogus claim that all the ice had melted and I was like, oh, oh crap. So the Times actually ran this on page 10 with the details. Of course, everybody already knows that Greenland has lost 15% of its ice, which is bull crap.

1:11:19 because the calculation indicates that if it had, there would be a, the seed level would have raised five feet by now. Right. And so there's a long story and it turns out, what do you think, Greenland has lost some of its ice, what do you think that the number is? This, the part that, thank you darling. How much, how much ice has Greenland lost? I'm gonna say 0.1%. Less than one tenth of one percent. So even less. I was on the high side. Well, that is so wrong. You are a damn denier, Jean-Claude Dvorak, because Waxman, that douchebag, dogface looking dude, had this to say about Solyndra. Risk is an inherent component of the loan guarantee program.

1:12:06 That is necessarily the case with a program designed to help new technologies get off the ground. The alternative is to simply give up on the important role that government can play in supporting development of these technologies. We need to face reality and stop denying science. Climate change is real and it is caused by man. In the past year alone, extreme weather has caused record floods, droughts and fires that have turned much of our nation into disaster areas. The future will belong to the countries that recognize reality and invest in clean energy. China knows this. China! And invested 30 billion dollars in Chinese solar manufacturers last year alone.

1:12:51 We need an effective strategy to compete. That is why Ranking Member DeGette and I wrote the Chairman yesterday to ask for a hearing. Unfortunately, we seem intent on denying the future. This night, Republicans, last night, Republicans voted to block funding for clean vehicles, and they voted to take away funding for innovative renewable energy projects. That's not an economic plan for the future. It's a job-destroying strategy that keeps us tied to a fossil fuel past. So now all of a sudden turns out that E does not equal MC squared all of a sudden. Well this has yet to be proven. No I know but the thing that's interesting though is where so this is the Large Hadron Collider which is this big money pit of hundreds of miles of tubes underneath Switzerland and Basel I think it is and they're shooting stuff around

CHAPTER 17 / 34 Discussion

Hillary Clinton Psychological Warfare, Syria Ping Pong Ball Tactic

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is reportedly overseeing psychological warfare operations in North Africa and the Middle East. In Syria, anti-government organizers have launched a tactic involving tens of thousands of ping pong balls painted with "Bashar Must Go" slogans released across Damascus.

1:13:59 And it's like, oh we found particles that move faster than the speed of light so Einstein must have been wrong. But no one's saying, well if that was wrong could climate change be wrong? Should we question everything? It's easy to question the dead guy. Well, the funny thing is they put themselves in a bind if you want to use that logic because if it's not wrong, why did they think it was wrong in the first place? Is it that flaky? Is all this data so flaky that they could come up with a misinterpretation of the numbers? I mean, I'm concerned about this reminds me of that story we ran where the cops busted into the wrong guy's house. How can you trust any part of their investigation if they can't even find the guy's house? You know what worried me about all this?

1:14:44 Here's the report that I read, hold on a second. So apparently they're shooting these things around in Switzerland. But the scientists in Italy say, yeah we received it, the particles got here faster than they should have. Hold on, are we shooting particles across Europe? What are we doing? Seriously? Apparently. Seriously? Hey buddy, here comes a particle your way. Hello, hello, Italia, Italia. This is CERN in Basel. Stand by, we're going to shoot particles now in 3, 2, 1. I mean, talk about terrorists. Don't be shooting. You know, what happens? Do the particles, do they pass through people? I mean, is that an okay practice to be shooting particles from Basel to Italy?

1:15:36 Answer me! Yes, it's very very... it's part of the... look at the proposal for this thing. You'll see it in there. It says we're gonna shoot particles across down south. Here it comes. Really you have it. I don't know anything about the up to don't even ask oh The whole thing is just like a I mean we usually we're the ones leading the way the United States is leading the way with this sort of Particle research, and we couldn't even afford to do any of this stuff. We just said you guys do it We'll take a look at the notes, so I'm sure they're screwing it up. No offense to the European scientists, but yeah, you know

1:16:19 That's all it's all good though. I just think it's funny like yeah, everyone's running news reports of Einstein Could he have been wrong and then it'll be no news day because there's real news out there Okay, what's your real news? I got real news. I got some real news. You know we're in doctrine you know the I think we all know that Hillary Clinton is way on top of the psychological warfare that we are playing on the peoples of the northern Africa and And she's doing this by training techno experts, 5,000 at a time, to start blogging and tweeting and tricking idiots like the, what's his name again? The Chuck Norris of Twitter? Oh, Randy. To trick him into retweeting stuff like the martyrs and...

1:17:14 Now they've got a new strategy. Organizers who want to topple the regime of President Bashar al-Assad are already adopting new strategies, especially in the capital where security is particularly tight. A few weeks ago, anti-government organizers launched a new tactic. What could that be, John? What could the new tactic be? Google Plus. No, no, no, no. It's even better than that. If you had all the money in the world, you are the richest most powerful woman in the world. You are Hillary Rodham Clinton and you want to conduct psychological warfare. What would you do? I'd take out an ad. Releasing tens of thousands of ping pong balls across Damascus painted with the slogan Bashar must go. Brilliant. Brilliant I tell you, brilliant. Ping pong balls. Ping pong ball companies she invested in.

1:18:12 That must have worked. How come I didn't see that on YouTube? Hillary, my ping-pong ball factory needs help. How come they didn't show that on YouTube? That would be good. Boing, boing, boing, boing, boing. Here come the... Release the ping-pong balls! Do they throw them out of a... Yeah, they'll find a couple of dead animals with ping pong balls stuck in their throats and that'll be the end of this program. Oh, do they throw them out of a helicopter? Or do they throw them out of the back of a truck? Or, you know, I'm just interested in how that works. I'd like to get one. It's gotta be a collectible. It's gotta... Hey, maybe it has the secret cell helicopter painted on it. We need to get somebody in these areas to get us a couple of these ping pong balls. I think it's ultimate collectible.

CHAPTER 18 / 34 Discussion

Earl Blumenauer China Comments, EPA Pollution Standards

Representative Earl Blumenauer of Oregon is criticized for praising Chinese emission standards during a speech on the Clean Air Act. Critics point to the extreme smog levels in Chinese cities and the white skies depicted in local art as evidence that China is not a valid model for environmental cleanliness.

earl blumenauer· epa· china· clean air act· smog

1:18:55 Meanwhile the Ministry of Truth is hard at work in the United States of Europe trying to make Gaddafi look worse. Now saying that they found footage, remarkable series of clips of the Gaddafi family at play while on a camping holiday outside Tripoli in the 80s showing Hannah Gaddafi kicking a football and being cuddled by her father saying that this proves that she was not killed in that bombing raid in the 80s. Yeah. It's like, wow, really? Well, let's face it, we're not getting real information. So I got a kick out of this douchebag congressman from Oregon. What's his name? His name is, I've got it in my red book here, where the heart where, Blumenhauer. He wears a, he's a bow tie wearing guy and he's going on and on. He's obviously never left the Oregon area. It's like, like Bill Nye the science guy?

1:19:56 and he exactly got the same bowtie, slightly crooked. And so he goes on with this thing which just irked me to no end. I'm watching hearings and then I'm starting to, I'm just watching Congress and you know when they come out and give their little speeches. And he's moaning about the fact, you know, about people attacking the EPA and you know our air pollution needs to be, you know, handled better. And then he throws this little tidbit in there which I have to comment on after you're done listening to this guy. The losers bet that we will yet again have another study, that we won't follow through. The losers under, I mean the winners under this, the people who are cynical, who think that they don't have to comply with the Clean Air Act, I notice that today in China daily,

1:20:45 dated September 22nd, the Chinese are talking about their tougher emissions standards. They are talking about the fact that there's a pushback from their utilities because there's cost of compliance. But they know that there is a health benefit, they can't continue to pollute, and there's an economic benefit for people who move ahead with the compliance. And the Chinese are going to make money by being cleaner, adopting technologies to reduce emissions. Mr. Speaker, I'm embarrassed that we have, after 21 years, a proposal to a yet again delay implementation, that they're picking winners and losers, putting people who profit from pollution ahead of people who are responsible. It's just wrong. Time of the gentleman has expired.

1:21:44 So this guy has obviously never been to China, he probably didn't look at the Olympics a couple years ago. When it was so smoggy they couldn't even show anything and the Chinese have no interest in cleaning up their act. Most of the pollution is actually so bad it's traveling all the way across the Pacific and when you go to China and if you go look at for example Chinese art done by the locals, You will never see in any Chinese art piece, I've never seen it, and I have bought some of the stuff, the skies are always white. I don't know if you've ever seen a blue sky in China. It's the most ridiculous situation in the world and this guy holds it up as an example? He's obviously a moron! I saw a blues guy playing a pretty good song in China.

CHAPTER 19 / 34 Discussion

Google-Fox Republican Debate, Gary Johnson Punchline

The Google-sponsored Republican primary debate is analyzed for its high production value and "sweetened" audience audio. Candidate Gary Johnson delivered a scripted punchline about his neighbor's dogs, while Rick Santorum faced questions regarding the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy in the military.

gary johnson· rick santorum· google· fox news· republican debate

1:22:34 Yeah, you know this is the thing that bothers me about the people who are protesting on Wall Street. This is not going to change anything. It's going to get you in jail. It's going to get some attention. What we really need to do is we really need to sit out of Capitol Hill. We've got to get these idiots out of there. That's the real problem. That's where the real problem is. Yeah, they'd sweep down and these guys would be in jail so quick that they'd be in one of those internment camps. So did you see, which Ron Paul mentioned, did you see any of the debates? Yeah, of course, the whole debate, absolutely. So did you notice what they, there's two things, one, play this, one thing that just really got me, play the odd Santorum moment, it's a very short clip I want to comment on and this is like in the middle of something he was going on about. Well first of all, the odd Santorum moment is that the whole thing is sponsored by Google, the people who continuously allowed

1:23:27 his his top google result to be frothy mix i mean of course did he say anything now of course not eighty eight and our country we need to give the military which is all volunteer the ability to do so in a way that is most efficient in protecting our men and women in uniform and i believe this undermines that ability what would you do with with soldiers like steven hill So, okay. Now, did you watch this thing and they showed, they show the Santorum's talking about the military and the applause comes way up and everyone's hooting and hollering and then they cut to the audience. And you know, I know, I know. Nobody is moving. I actually thought I was watching X Factor but I tuned in too early and it was the debates.

1:24:14 And this thing was highly produced, highly entertaining without a doubt, although they really got off track with putting Romney and Perry the whole time back and forth. But they gave Gary Johnson a good line, which you see him reading it off the paper. And he delivered, he delivered. He was reading the punchline. Oh yeah, I couldn't remember it. Which by the way now three other people are claiming it's their joke. Like Rush Limbaugh is claiming it's his joke and yeah whatever. But just the beginning of that show they brought him out like like X Factor contestants. They really did. And no! It's like oh. Well what bothers me is the sweetened

1:24:57 The Sweden audio, oh no it's totally, and this has been used over and over. No one hooting and hollering, no one doing nothing. I know, it is a scam. Television is a scam. There is no difference no difference between the Republican debate with Fox and Google and Fox Running I think it's on Fox X Factor. There is no difference. It's the same audience They probably look at the producers. Yeah, they yeah, yeah, they just said, you know, they move cowl out and then there's like hold on We'll be right and we're gonna set up for the debates. Hold on everyone sit and just hold your seats. There is no difference between

1:25:40 Now, the thing that I found interesting was the last time there was a debate, people got all over there was no sweet and sound. And they got all over the contest or the... Contestants, just say contestants. Yeah, no, the host in this case, the judges. The three judges, they got all over them for being so impolite to Ron Paul. And so they ask him this question this time, Chris Wallace does, and it's like I've never heard this before where they fall all over themselves to say thank you for responding. But this all the questions asked to Ron Paul were instead of the generalized generalized policy questions, they're all individual questions aimed at him to try to discredit him, every one of them.

CHAPTER 20 / 34 Discussion

Ron Paul Border Fence Comments, Capital Flight

During the debate, Ron Paul clarified his stance on border fences, suggesting they could be used to keep Americans in rather than just keeping immigrants out. He warned that economic instability leads to capital controls and that national data banks for illegal immigrants eventually evolve into a national ID system for all citizens.

ron paul· border fence· mexico· capital controls· national id

1:26:21 and uh... this one on ron paul on leaving the country is interesting because they throw it out there to let him explain himself and i think he does a great job by the way and then they they they back out of it with the just polite i hope we don't get ridiculed by john stewart tomorrow so let me say thank you so much of you answering questions congressman paul i want to ask you a question about a comment you made a couple of weeks ago about a border fence with mexico Here's what you said, sir, I want to quote it. There's capital controls and there's people control, so every time you think of a fence keeping all those bad people out, think about those fences maybe being used against us, keeping us in. Question, Congressman, do you know a lot of Americans who want to take their money and flee the United States of America?

1:27:15 There are some. All the candidates up here talk about repatriation of dollars. They've already taken them overseas. We're talking about trying to bring in a trillion and a half dollars because they leave our country because we make it uncomfortable. Too many regulations, too much taxation. They can't start business. They've lost confidence. Yes, when countries destroy a currency, they do lead to capital controls and they lead to people control. So I think it is a real concern. Yeah. And also, once you have these data banks, the data banks means that everybody's going to be in the data bank. You say, oh no, the data bank's there for the illegals. But everybody's in the data bank. That's national ID card. If you care about your personal liberty, you'll be cautious when you feel comfortable. Blame all the illegal immigrants for everything. What you need to do is attack their benefits. No free education, no free subsidies, no citizenship, no birth

1:28:11 No birthright citizenship. And that will get to the bottom of my suit a lot sooner. But economically, you should not ignore the fact that in tough economic times, money and people want to leave the country. That's unfortunate. Yeah. Yeah, absolutely. You know, they're doing that in California now. They're taking my tax dollars and educating illegal aliens. Yeah. It's funny. Remember we talked about the EBT program? Which is the credit card used as food stamps. Food stamps, right. You know, people do have to catch up sometimes on the show. And I got a whole bunch of emails. Actually there's some YouTube videos out there. Like, yo, swipe your EBT. And let me just read this from... This is my actual tax dollars in the great state of California.

CHAPTER 21 / 34 Discussion

CalFresh EBT Program, Fast Food Acceptance

California's "CalFresh" program is encouraging the use of EBT cards at fast-food restaurants like Jack in the Box and Burger King. Critics argue this benefits JP Morgan, which manages the card system, while promoting unhealthy diets under the guise of providing "convenient" food access to low-income residents.

calfresh· ebt· jp morgan· food stamps· jack in the box

1:29:12 This is Joe. I was just linked to the 9-8-11 podcast you were talking about food stamps at fast-food restaurants This is what I noticed that they were accepting against the regulations against the the food stamp program according to the federal government They were you could they were being accepted a jack-in-the-box. I used to work for a community action agency puke He says one of our programs was the quote food stamp outreach program the food stamp program is now called Cal fresh and Words matter. Evidently California underutilizes the program so the USDA encourages such states to sign up as many people that qualify as possible. Of course this money goes, a lot of this money goes into the coffers of JP Morgan who run the credit card program.

1:29:54 I was unfortunately put in charge of the outreach which was an attempt to sign up as many people who qualify for food stamps as possible. I was sent to training to learn why we should be signing up people and how to do it more effectively. In the training, they told us the same ridiculous statistics you guys mentioned about how $1 in benefits generates $1.79 to the local economy. They never really explained how it worked. but they wanted to throw it out there for us in case someone questions the program. They also spent a session discussing fast food restaurants accepting CalFresh benefits and why we should support this. Their argument was, many people on food stamps live near such establishments so that is their most convenient source for food. That is f'ed up. That's not food.

1:30:41 It's not food. It's sand. Grind up some more wood and give it to these people. Sand, silica, it's sand. It's sand and crap. And in the show notes I'll put a couple of these rap videos, hip-hop videos, because it makes you really sad. And the only place that apparently in California does not accept them is McDonald's. Burger King does, Jack in the Box does, the Chicken Hut, the Wings and Whatnots and all these places. Even some thrift stores accept them. It's a big-ass scam. And I guess the way it works is just listening to the hip-hop music, if you have a kid, then your EBT goes way up. It's a vicious circle. No EBT for us.

JCD Suspect Photo, Parent-Teacher Night Prank

A listener discovered a photo of one of the podcast hosts being used as a "suspect" named "Larry" in a mock CSI classroom exercise during a parent-teacher night. The character description labeled the host as a university caretaker with "lots of coins in his pockets."

parent-teacher night· csi· suspect· larry· classroom

1:31:30 Yeah, no, although we could use it. I just sent you an email. Can you access your email? Mm-hmm. Okay, so this will be in the show notes everybody under JCD suspect pics. I don't think you saw this email. It came in, you were copied, but you didn't respond to it and it cracked me the F up. The F? The F. So, this was a parent-teacher night, one of our producers goes, and you know, it's like seeing the whole school. It leads me to your Cory.com thing, which I'm supposed to click on. And a bunch of MP3s. You see it says JCD pics? JCD suspect pics? That's what it says on the top, but I got to the site and it's your... I don't know. It's not on here.

1:32:16 Really? Yeah, click on it yourself. Well, I just did that's why... Top, other top levels, Adams World, Public Dropbox, show and know... Yeah, go down there and you see Anderson Cooper, Dallas Atlanta... Joe McGuinness, Joe McGuinness, Law & Order, Auditorium... I'm sorry. Go up one. Go up one level. Assets. Yeah, assets. I'm sorry. Now you see JCD suspect pics. Okay. Alright. So I'll explain this while you look at the picture. So this is... They have like a crime scene investigation thing they're doing in one... Don't say it yet. In one of these classes. And so apparently the teacher, you know, the kids have to figure out who done it, right?

1:32:55 And so she's just downloaded four random pictures from the internet and the the perps the suspects are Harry, Barry, Gary and Larry. and they're on the board and they're printed out and let's see and we have Harry, Barry, Gary but then Larry is quite interesting. Larry is a picture of you. It is actually John's picture as suspect Larry and it says here he's here's some of the stats on this perp. Caretaker at the local university, lots of coins in his pockets and a lipstick Larry

1:33:41 evil looking suspects and your picture shows up? What is that? I don't know how they got that picture. I mean, if you Google me, you can find it. Yeah, but your name's not Larry. No. So someone just thought it was appropriate to use you as a suspect. Some Macintosh user saying that was a great idea. Anyway, you'll find that in the show notes, which of course is just another one of the many services we have here on the No Agenda Show. Well this is a short list today that's for sure. People need to, I think they need to step up a little bit here. Robert Simpson $111.11, Pittsburgh Pennsylvania, William Langford,

Economic Hitman Influence, Sir Ryan Lee Knighthood

A listener cites a clip of Louis Farrakhan discussing "Confessions of an Economic Hitman" as the motivation for their subscription. Ryan Lee is knighted as "Sir Ryan Lee" for contributing over $1,000 to the show, while a shout-out is given to a pawn shop business in Lexington, Kentucky.

1:38:37 Go get a banner at Dvorak.org slash banners and put it on your site with a link. That doesn't help. Everyone, what are we having to do? It'll help. Everything helps. At this moment 579 people on the stream. If everyone gave $10, if they feel that they've had... How many $10 donations did we get, John? It's way up. Way up. What is it up? One, two, three, four, five, six. We're up one whole donation. No, it was four. We're up two whole donations. Oh, two, okay. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, we saved or created some jobs. I think we saved some jobs. But if everyone would donate ten bucks, if you thought it was worth it, value for value, you tell me what you're spending your ten bucks on. Then a couple of other miscellaneous mentions. Raymond Port, good friend of the show from, he now lives in Norway, says, in the morning, John and Adam, I'd like to ask you for some karma for an unborn. Me and my girlfriend Crystal are expecting new life in the coming weeks. Due date September 30th.

1:39:34 So we'll be celebrating an ode to life exactly one year after our celebration of our ode to love Remember they got married and I did a special daily source code for so here's a karma for a human resource Which will be worth as he 9.2 million dollars. It's actually it's got a little bit It's probably only 11 million euros, but congratulations and good karma the unborn Mark Smith, long time coming, listener since way back then, I haven't donated to the show. I've just signed up for the $33.33 Mothership boarding pass subscription. It's probably worth mentioning that I had wanted to sign up several times before, but for some reason never went through with it. Now, after listening to the after show clip on 336 by Louis Farrakhan, something stirred deep inside me. He was talking about the techniques outlined in Confessions of an Economic Hitman, the web of debt that ensures the loyalty of states where loans are so large a debtor is forced

1:40:26 to default on their payments. Anyway, a very long note and he decided to sign up. He also turned 33 last Wednesday so we figured the stars were aligned and also earlier cracked open a beer to write this message at the very moment moment boys from the county hell by the pogues played on the radio which has a great in the morning reference in the chorus. Thanks for your efforts, love the show, increase the peace, decrease the police. Hey! He made a rhyme. And Ryan Lee who we're about to knight. Can you mention my amazing wife Julie who I am trying to buy a house for. The damn bank wants every single piece of paperwork right down to the toilet paper I wipe my butt with. We should close on the 27th. I love you Julie!

1:41:12 Also, my friend and co-worker Jay the eBay guy. Please give a big in the morning to him He and I work for a fast-growing company called PCH of Missouri under Dan's discount you see I'm sorry PHC of Missouri under Dan's discount jewelry and pawn in Lexington, Kentucky.

Anyway, so we'll be knighting him in a moment. And remember, you can always go to knowagenthenation.com and take a look at our secret stealth helicopter. Pick yourself up a slave t-shirt or something like that. That also helps. Anything else you'd like to say to promote the fact that we need more money?

CHAPTER 26 / 34 Discussion

Final Sunday Times Report, Haqqani Network PR

The final Sunday Times review covers Vladimir Putin's plan to return to the Russian presidency and the "Haqqani crime empire" in Afghanistan. The report notes the Haqqani family's historical ties to the CIA and Saudi intelligence, framing the current media focus as a PR campaign for a new "boogeyman."

putin· medvedev· haqqani network· cia· afghanistan

1:46:34 Alright, well first of all the Saturday Times didn't really have much. It had a bunch of stuff between the Netanyahu guy and the Palestinian thing, which is of course you know a big slap in the face to Obama. They didn't pay any attention to anything he said at the UN, which is you know, pretty much what's going to continue to happen. There's really nothing. So you go to the Sunday Times and there's all the good headlines are in Sunday's paper this time. It varies from week to week. Small donors slow to return to Obama fold, kind of an anti-Obama story. The New York Times isn't on board with him. Interesting. Putin wants more moves to assume Russia's top job. They're letting us know that Putin's taken over again.

1:47:10 Yeah, how does this work? I mean do these guys just swap spots all the time? Yeah, well you can only stay in that one spot for so long but then you can go back in. Oh, so then they just swap and then Medvedev's going to be prime minister. It doesn't make any difference. He's the stooge. Putin runs the show. He's the Stalin. Right. And then there's this, there's the story on the Greenland thing which is kind of buried in the back. There's a couple other buried in the back stories that are kind of interesting. See if I can find one of them offhand. But there's a story that really dominates the paper today is the brutal Afghan clan bedevils the US. The Haqqani crime empire. I told you they were getting extra PR. They're all over the place. We've called this. Now they're a crime empire and by the way... Wait a minute, wait a minute. What is better? A crime empire or a terrorist group? What is better?

1:48:08 Well, it seems that the crime empire is something that you can take out with law enforcement. And so I think they're trying to get that message across that, you know, law enforcement can deal with this. Right. So anyway, so they have this crime empire story naming the guy showing pictures of him. I don't know why. And they mentioned prominently mentioned that he would that they commonly worked for the American intelligence. and then I guess they went rogue. They were working for the CIA before. The Haqqanis. Yeah, the Haqqanis. Oh, that's why. Okay.

1:48:45 So they went rogue or they did something they weren't supposed to do. The next thing... I'm so tired of this bull crap. Let me just read this little graph here which is 1, 2, the third one in. Today American intelligence and military officials call the crime clan known as the Haqqani Network led by a wizened militant named... I guess it's Jelak. I'm sorry, a wizened? What kind of militant? Yeah, I mean it's an old fart. Wizened? Yeah, Wizender Wizender. W-I-Z-E-N-E-D. Huh. A militant named Jalaluddin Haqqani who has allied himself over the years with the CIA, Saudi Arabia spy service, and Osama bin Laden. All apparently part of the same group. What a slut.

1:49:35 the most deadly insured insurgent group in Afghanistan in the latest in a series of ever bolder attack they attacked the US Embassy of course and for some reason they probably didn't get paid. That's what it is. Hey man if you're not gonna pay we're gonna cause some trouble because we're a crime a crime what is it? A crime clan or a crime empire depending. We're a crime empire. I'm a wizened man. Wizened. I don't know if I like wizened. I think wizened is better. I think it's wizened but I think it might be both might be acceptable depending on the new boogeyman.

1:50:18 Yeah, basically. So that's the story. That's kind of leading. You notice again, Syria is not in the news anymore. They're home free. And of course they've never talked about the action still going on in some of these other countries, Bahrain to be specific. And which I had clips from weeks and weeks ago and it's still going on. There's like riots in the street, but nobody's It's like the New York City stuff. They did have a story by the way, 80 arrested in Times Square buried deep in the back of the thing, below the fold. Really? Page 10 right now. So they didn't cover it. Oh thanks! Awesome. Well you know what, forget the money, that's a reason.

1:50:57 to give up your subscription. Is that bullcrap? No, it's a good reason. If they can't cover the stuff in their own city, I mean, it seems to me, especially protests, it doesn't... Anyway, so I'm giving up. So this is it. This is the last of the Sunday Times reports. John's gonna harm the Sunday Times a Sad hush fell over the audience as the Sunday Times is closed for good on the no agenda podcast I don't think it had any traction anyway. Well speaking of the CIA of course also, I'm sure not reported in The New York Times is This news from a cable

CHAPTER 27 / 34 Discussion

Al Jazeera CIA Ties, Hillary Clinton Media Strategy

WikiLeaks cables suggest that Al Jazeera's former director general collaborated with the CIA to adjust news coverage. This aligns with 2011 statements from Hillary Clinton regarding the State Department's "Center for Strategic Counterterrorism Communications," which aims to counter misinformation on Arabic media channels.

al jazeera· wikileaks· hillary clinton· state department· propaganda

1:51:41 WikiLeaks cable that came out and said essentially, you know, the the guy was running Al Jazeera He's pretty much He's pretty much working for the CIA. Now, of course, we know that this is some kind of a Personal hit on the guy because wikiLeaks is obviously a CIA job. I'm not even sure that that Julian Assange is a real guy anymore He could just be photoshopped in or Adobe After Effects. I don't know Larry so but the interest interesting though. I have a couple you know quick clips one after another well, so here's here's a report

1:52:19 I think this is from Russia today. Now, by the way, I would like to remind everyone that there were a lot of people in America, predominantly righteous people, very, very righteous people, same people who just think the president is doing an awesome job. who are yelling and screaming saying, you know, I'm getting better coverage of Libya on Al Jazeera. Why isn't Al Jazeera on the cable network? We need Al Jazeera, Al Jazeera. Well, I hope you feel like a shithead now. ...grabbed it a cozy primetime slot with the US. And recent WikiLeaks claim Al Jazeera's now resigned director general had ties to the CIA.

1:52:57 What they detail is that basically the US government has been monitoring Al Jazeera, the Arabic channel before the English channel started and then after the English channel, they monitored Al Jazeera English as well. They went through the website, both English and Arabic, and they kept a detailed list of things that they found inaccurate, inappropriate, journalistically questionable, or simply that they didn't like. And then they would sit down with Wada and they would discuss these points. So I went to search.nashownotes.com and I knew that we had a clip of Lucifer Clinton saying exactly this. So this is not news to you who have been following the No Agenda podcast, but just to make sure, here she is saying exactly that. One of the first things I did after arriving at the State Department was to appoint a special representative to Muslim communities around the world and to step up our engagement in the most crucial media spaces.

1:53:51 We put our people, especially Arabic, Urdu, Dari speakers on key channels like Al Jazeera and others to explain US policies and counter at least some of the widespread misinformation out there. There was this idea that it would be a waste of our time to go on channels and go on to websites to refute and rebut what was being said. We're in a fight. And I'm not going to let people say things about us that are not true. You know, if they want to say things about us that are true, we'll explain that. But to make up stuff, to be accusing us of things that are totally outlandish and outrageous was just unacceptable. This is the only way we will get into the conversation where it matters most. And we have to show up. I sometimes get asked by members of Congress, I saw an American diplomat on X, Y, or Z. Why? Because that's where people are.

1:54:45 That's where we need to be. I make no apologies for that. It is with this in mind that we developed and launched the new Center for Strategic Counterterrorism Communications, which is tightly focused on undermining the terrorist propaganda and dissuading potential recruits. The center is housed at the State Department but is a true whole of government endeavor and has a mandate. And now I know what that means. A true whole of government in endeavor means CIA, obviously. So if you want to listen to the whole clip, you can go to the show notes, 342.nashownotes.com. But here's a new one for you because mission accomplished. Al Jazeera has been the leader in that are literally changing people's minds and attitudes. Absolutely. Al Jazeera rocks now. How does that work?

1:55:35 Well you remember that it was some time ago that we caught her promoting Al Jazeera saying the rest of the news media is not very good. Yes. People should be listening to Al Jazeera. Yeah. Yeah of course. Please listen to Al Jazeera because I wrote the script. It's really quite sad all of it. Where two guys, one wizened and one bicurious, Are your only source of kind of actual news and we're just grasping for straws in the dark It really is hey, I just got a new flare alert. This has been going on for the past three days in fact ever since that stupid satellite bull crap started cropping up

CHAPTER 28 / 34 Discussion

Solar Flares, White House Petitions

Increased solar activity and M-class flares prompt concerns about power grid stability and potential EMP events. Meanwhile, the White House "We the People" petition site is dominated by requests to legalize marijuana and abolish the TSA, testing the administration's promise to address popular public concerns.

solar flares· emp· white house· petitions· marijuana legalization

1:56:18 We just now got a class M flare, 3.7. We had a 7.8 last night. This is class M, so I stopped looking at class C's. Now it's just class M, at least three or four a day. So the solar activity is sparking up. And I will tell you that there's a big one coming for us. And you heard about Chile, right? All of Chile, the power dropped. It's bopping out power left and right. And I am seriously considering It's a very expensive proposition, but I really think I might have to go get a generator. I have to have some form of power in this godforsaken desert of a place called Los Angeles, because the power will go out here. And I really believe that... You know what's interesting now that you mention it, and I wish I had it clipped, but I was listening to one of the radio guys, I think it was Hannity, and

1:57:13 He brought on somebody, somebody said that well the biggest threat that we've got is gonna, some guy was gonna come on and predict that one of the, somebody can correct me out there, I'm sure somebody else heard this. But the guy was predicting that within the next couple years there's gonna be an EMP attack on the US. This could happen in two days from now, on the 27th when we have the cocked pistol DEF CON 1, the president goes underground in Denver. Yeah, well the whole thing is a little suspicious it seems to me. The discussion of it, this whole exercise which I'm still not understanding why we're doing this. What does it prove? So the guys in Denver can take care of a problem that they're never gonna have? I mean why don't you do one of these in New York? Or why don't you do them everywhere? And what's the point? And why is the president going underground?

1:58:05 They want to just send his second guy to go underground or somebody else that just happens to look like him. You know, it's so funny. It's a comedian under there. It's so funny you mentioned that. I was watching the president's address, which by the way, his YouTube hits for that are like a thousand every week, 800. No one watches that. That's worldwide. And this is just listen very carefully what he says here. Of course, he's talking about some other thing that I couldn't figure out, which is this. He's doing something about no child left behind. But listen to what he says. We also need reform. We need to make sure that every classroom is a place of high expectations and high performance. That's been our vision since taking office. Wait a minute, that's been our vision since taking office? Well who's our, who's our Kim Osabe? Maybe there's a mouse in his pocket. Isn't that weird? Wouldn't you say that's been my vision since taking office? He took office. He's a team player. Bull crap! It's him and the other Obama. Expectations and high performance.

1:59:05 That's been our vision since taking office. That's been our vision. But he said. So I look, you know, this whole thing and maybe you can explain it to me. He says that we do this whole speech about giving power back to states, giving them more flexibility and everywhere he's saying Congress won't do anything about it so I'm doing something about it. But wouldn't that mean an executive order or something like that? Yeah, if that's the way it works, why don't you just do, you know, just pick up a dictator? But there's nothing. But there's no executive order. What did he actually do? I mean, I looked everywhere. There's no order, there's no memorandum to Congress. What did he actually do? Nothing. I think he just did a speech. Well, that's something. He loves giving speeches. Right, but how can he overrule Congress? Anyway, that wasn't the funniest thing on WhiteHouse.gov. The funniest thing was, and we'd all signed up for this, is we the people

2:00:02 on WhiteHouse.gov where you could set up a petition and the rules are, according to WhiteHouse.gov, any petition that would garner enough support, that meaning 5,000 signatures in 30 days, would be addressed by the White House. Top two. Top two petitions. One, legalize marijuana. Two, abolish the TSA. How are you gonna address that now, Barack? Yeah, I love that. Are these guys total idiots? Do they really think that people are gonna like... Health care! Global warming! Hillary doesn't have enough techno experts to game that, my friends.

2:00:50 And actually I saw this thing go down. Like, oh we're working on it, we have to improve our service. You know? So here I have 19,210 signatures for legalize and regulate marijuana, 12,564 call an investigation to allegations of prosecutorial and judicial misconduct in the case of Solomon Rushdie. 7,684 for edit the Pledge of Allegiance to remove the phrase under God and 6,463 abolish the TSA and use its monstrous budget to fund more sophisticated less intrusive counterterrorism and intelligence measures. Which by the way seems like a red herring there. Not too fond of how that was worded. Yeah, that seems a little rigged. Don't like the way that was worded. Let's see what it says here.

CHAPTER 29 / 34 Discussion

City of Character Program, Wasilla Biblical Governance

Author Joe McGinnis discusses Sarah Palin's implementation of the "City of Character" program in Wasilla, Alaska, which emphasizes biblical teachings in local government. The program exists in several California cities, including Fresno and Compton, while the BBC is noted for adopting "BCE" and "CE" dating conventions.

joe mcginnis· sarah palin· wasilla· city of character· biblical truth

2:01:44 According to the White House, they will respond to petitions in a timely manner, which it defines as a few weeks. It is US policy that Gaddafi needs to go. But let me emphasize that we anticipate this transition to take place in a matter of days and not a matter of weeks. So I wonder what weeks means then for them. Matter of days and a matter of weeks. So I ran into an interesting little tidbit on Book TV on C-SPAN. So Joe McGinnis, the guy who moved up to Wasilla, Alaska to live next door to Sarah Palin. Oh, that guy. Wrote a book. He's a good writer and he seems like a pretty normal guy. And he dropped a couple of interesting bombs on this interview he had on Book TV. And one of them I was completely unaware of and I started looking into and it's kind of a creepy operation called City of Characters.

2:02:42 where if you're a city, apparently Palin pushed this into Wasilla when she was mayor. You adopt a bunch of biblical ways of running the city and you subscribe to some service, it costs like couple thousand dollars of the city's budget to to get these these three by five cars with a bunch of I guess biblical things you're supposed to do and that's how you run your city and he kind of explains it here is very interesting and I started looking up some of these characters City of Characters in California and elsewhere but play the Joe McGinnis City of Character clip and to get a little background. You look at and learn all these applications of biblical truth

2:03:25 Sarah returned from this conference and proposed to the Wasilla City Council that Wasilla become a quote city of character and the City Council authorized this and while Silla became the only city of character in in the state of Alaska. These are mostly based in states with strong evangelical traditions. South Carolina and Texas I believe have the most the most cities of character of any of the states in the Union. For example

2:04:01 None of the New England states, in none of the New England states are there any cities of character. It's a designation that denotes a commitment to following biblical teachings in government. In other words, having the city government influenced by the fundamentalist belief in biblical truth as literal truth. Mr. McGinnis, why do you describe Sarah Palin's terms as mayor? That's kind of interesting. I just consulted the book of knowledge on it. There's just a question with that before you look anything up. This is the question. California actually has one, two, three, four, five... Cities of character? Yes. Can you guess even one of them? Just take a couple shots. I'll give you two shots and I'll tell you what they are. Okay. City of character. Berkeley?

2:04:57 No, of course not. God. Got them lesbians up there. Uh... City of Carmel? No. They got Clint Eastwood there. Of course I mock you when I tell you what one of the cities of character is Fresno. Yeah. Okay. But the one that just cracked me up when I beside... Oh by the way, Chowchilla. Which I just like saying. I don't even know where it is. Chowchilla? I know where Chowchilla is. But here's the city of character that just gets me. Compton. Yeah, that's a city of character all right That's hilarious. Yes City of character we should be the podcast of character I think we should we are a podcast of character card deck from these guys calm Yeah, they could be we can be on their list a podcast of character I know you have another clip, but just I want to interject for a moment turns out the BBC is the broadcast organization of character

2:05:55 They have now, without expressly announcing it, they have dropped the usage of the words BC and AD. So something... Oh, they've gone to BCE and ADE, whatever? So instead of saying... Oh, ACE, after current era or something like that. No, common era. Common era. Right, and before common era. Yeah, era. Error. Two-cums error. Common error is what I'm sticking with. That's kind of, that's a words do matter moment right there. Yeah, I've been seeing this in some academic arenas. Most of the smart money doesn't use it because it's, why are we just making it more complicated than it needs to be? Well, it fills up more space, you know, if you have to write 500 words.

CHAPTER 30 / 34 Discussion

Trig Palin Hoax Theory, C-SPAN Interview

During a C-SPAN "Book TV" interview, Joe McGinnis addresses the persistent rumors regarding the parentage of Trig Palin. While McGinnis remains cautious, he notes that if the allegations were true, it would represent one of the largest hoaxes in American political history.

sarah palin· trig palin· joe mcginnis· c-span· book tv

2:06:41 Yeah. Before common error. Error. I'm sticking with it. You can't not say it. Before common error. Okay. What's your other Joe McGinnis thing? Okay, so McGinnis was asked this question. I thought this was interesting because we're watching, you know, this is one of the guys that does the Q&A, the two or three hosts on C-SPAN, and he drops this bomb right in the middle of this interview, which I thought was, wow, we're bringing this back up? Different kind of person, it would have been a different kind of book. But Sarah is responsible for the tenor and the scope and the tone of this book. Joe McGuinness, do you think Sarah and Todd Palin are the parents of Trig Palin? I don't know. I think there's still a legitimate question to be asked about that. I go into this in chapter 19, but I'm very careful not to go beyond where the facts take me.

2:07:40 There are many, many people. I've been blogging for the past six months and I would get thousands of comments from people who accused me of being afraid to tell the truth about Trigg. There is a whole coterie of people out there. Do I really have to listen to this whole thing? No, I think you got the point. I mean, who gives a crap? I just think it's interesting that it keeps coming up because what the thing it turns out and I think the McGinnis book will be interesting for the simple reason that apparently Sarah Palin is just a terrible person. Vindictive, mean-spirited, goes after everybody. The only thing that you would want to hear is that McGinnis concludes that if this was true in any way it would be the biggest hoax

2:08:29 in the history of politics in the entire, for the, since the beginning. Oh really? Really? Bigger hoax than who killed JFK? Bigger hoax than, please. It's not a hoax. It's a distraction. Hello, John, wizened man, wizened. Wake up. You don't think it's a hoax? I don't care. I absolutely don't care. There are entire months that go by that I don't care. Well I don't care either, but I just think it's interesting it's been reintroduced. No, it's not interesting. That was on C-SPAN. I'm sorry, I disagree. That's just not interesting. Okay, well, if you want to be with the Times and hip, you got to do the Bristol Palin gay thing. That's what everyone's talking about. However,

Drone Nation Update, IBM Watson Air Traffic Control

The FAA is preparing for small unmanned drones to enter US airspace by mid-2013, while IBM and Boeing develop "NextGen" air traffic systems powered by Watson. Critics argue that phasing out human air traffic controllers in favor of automated systems could lead to increased accidents blamed on "pilot error."

predator drones· faa· ibm watson· boeing· air traffic control

2:09:13 It's Drone Nation time. Don't you mean Donation Time? He means Adam's got another story about drones. Tracking the drones so you don't have to while they track you. Three stories today that you need to be aware of. First of all, new radars placed aboard unmanned aircraft on the US borders. So, actually coming out and admitting now, I found like three awesome defense websites I'm following. Seven Predator B and Reaper class medium altitude long-range UAVs in the CBP fleet have been used by the Drug Enforcement Agency for surveillance and interdictions in the Caribbean. So, you know, you're out there, you're laying out in the Caribbean and the drones are taking pictures of you.

2:10:02 The forestry, they're also using the forestry service to detect fires and by the Federal Emergency Management Agency, FEMA to you and I, to monitor flood damage in the nation's interior. Yeah, that's what you need a Reaper for. No, the Reaper carries weapons. The Reapers are the ones that have the heavy ass payload. So that's one. Just to condition you get you ready. I don't see the benefit of using one of these for fires. That's bullcrap. They're spying on you and getting ready to shoot you. The United States has agreed in principle to deploy US Predator drones on Turkish soil to aid in the fight against Kurdish separatist rebels, as the US military will fly unarmed surveillance predators based in Iraq.

2:10:49 And then finally the FAA has come out and said the date for small unmanned drones in US airspace mid 2013. That's when they all have to be able to fly around legally. They're going to have a big problem flying around the US. No they won't. They will not because Watson is going to take care of it all. Watson, IBM, supercomputer already has the commercials out there. The world's airports land a plane every second. But over the next 20 years, air traffic is expected to double. The systems that track, manage and connect these flights weren't built to handle all that data. IBM's working with Boeing on a next generation system to help integrate global air traffic more efficiently and in real time. Making another of the world's most critical systems smarter. That's what I'm working on. I'm an IBMer. Let's build a smarter planet. Yeah. I've never liked the I'm an IBMer thing. It's very Nazi.

2:11:46 I am an IBMer! And how... Tons of pilot error. Tons of accidents. It's written in the cards. Considering the billion, two billion dollars that's in the American Jobs Act for the next gen system, which no pilot, and quite frankly I don't think any air traffic controller really likes, A, because they don't understand it, in theory they do, but it's like you can't just take away this beautiful system that works quite well. When's the last time you heard of a mid-air collision?

2:12:33 Of course, it doesn't count with the stupid drone that was flying around in Afghanistan. We don't have a lot of air traffic controllers. I read these intelligence websites about the military-industrial complex and the pilots and the air traffic controllers are like, this is bullcrap. We have some douchebag looking through a straw. That's what they call it. Looking through a straw trying to fly this thing. No, no, no, no. We're gonna see... You should be afraid of flying because they're gonna be dropping crap out of the sky left and right to prove that we need a next generation system flown by Watson which won Jeopardy. You can put it in the book right now. Between now and mid 2013 when they're gonna implement something, some form of something, you're gonna see lots of pilot error, pilot error.

2:13:20 This is what they've been working on. The pilot's drunk, the pilot's crazy, the pilot's stressed, the pilot this, the pilot that. Now I'd rather have a pilot flying my plane than any of that and some stupid computer. Automatic GPS separation system. No, no, no, no, no. No. The Chiners can't even make that work for trains. This is very, very bad development. Never gonna happen. That should be, uh... I don't see Curry's pet peeve of the day. No, actually that's not my pet peeve of the day. This is my pet peeve. It's never gonna happen.

CHAPTER 32 / 34 Discussion

NYPD Auxiliary Police, Prime Suspect Preconditioning

New York City is recruiting volunteer auxiliary police officers to perform patrols and assist with traffic control. The hosts link this development to "preconditioning" in the TV show "Prime Suspect," where a detective deputizes a civilian, comparing the volunteer force to historical "brownshirt" organizations.

nypd· auxiliary police· prime suspect· volunteerism· brownshirts

2:13:57 I hope not, but we're going to see these accidents blamed on pilot error. New York City is now offering positions in the volunteer auxiliary police. This is very disturbing. The... so this you can volunteer, you get a badge and a bike, I think, are civic-minded men and women who volunteer to assist their local police precincts, housing police service areas, and transit districts by performing uniform patrol in their communities.

2:14:33 They are recruited, trained and equipped by the police department. They come from many diverse backgrounds and a myriad of occupations throughout the city such as computer programmers, mechanics, merchants, nurses, security guards, school teachers, students, etc. Well, what are their functions you ask? Did you ask that? No, but it just reminded me of something. Yeah, of Nazis. Auxiliary police provide extra eyes and ears for the police department by performing uniformed foot, vehicle, and bicycle patrols. They are trained to observe and report conditions requiring the services of the regular police.

2:15:11 Whenever possible, they assist in non-enforcement and non-hazardous duties. The following are some areas in which the Auxiliary Police assist the Police Department. Residential and commercial areas, community festivals, parades, concerts, street fairs, and park patrols, subway entrances and token booth areas, perimeter of houses of worship, Crime prevention activities and traffic control. All you need to be is at least age 17, live or work in New York City, be in good health, you have to pass a drug alcohol screening and sign an affidavit acknowledging compliance with the NYPD zero tolerance drug policy, you must be able to read and write English,

2:15:48 Never be convicted of a felony or have a previous arrest record that would prevent acceptance be a US citizen or a permanent resident of the United States Ie green cards apply and be of good character. This is frightening Well, I'll tell you this is already set up in the TV show which is premiered yesterday called prime suspect. Oh, okay I should have watched longer I guess prime suspect. This is not the one with the JJ Abrams, which is that other one? No, so the person of interest Crime suspect is this tough chick. Oh, right, right, right, yeah, I saw the trailer. Who the men don't like and she's always sad that she's not well liked even though she's the smartest of the group, of course, and she's the one who solves this weird crime. She's hot, right? She's milfy.

2:16:39 And so she, the way she solves the crime though, the actual way she solves the crime is she goes into this homeless shelter and there's some dumb guard there and she tricks him, she deputizes him in this exact same type of style of fake deputy. He's now an auxiliary member. She makes him put his hand on her badge and swear. He's touching her boob? Now he's touching the badge that she's holding in her hand. She's a detective. Oh, okay. So she's uh... Because I'd fall for that one like, I'm Deputized! I got religion! So he goes through the rigmarole of some phony thing she... So and the way this crime is solved at the very end he calls her saying that the suspect that she had put out on the on the TV looked at the drawing done by some kid who apparently is a... who's I guess Rembrandt.

2:17:35 He identified and that's how the crime was solved. So that has preconditioned us immediately for this kind of thing. It's unbelievable and you know this is not a coincidence. These things are set up in advance. It's coordinated. Oh by the way there's another requirement. Must be in possession of a brown shirt. Yeah, become a member of the auxiliary. You know they have this in London. They call them brownies actually Now that I think of that I didn't even realize how funny that was they call them brownies and they patrol around the streets Yeah, making sure people put the right garbage can yeah, yeah, they're highly annoying Yeah, and they call the real cops to come in and like impound your car and you know they're like they're like SS They're little stooges. Oh

2:18:22 Yeah, no, this is you do not want to encourage this sort of thing because there's too many people out there that wish they were cops I wonder I wonder if do you get paid is doing this or is it just purely volunteerism? Why pay them? They want to do it. Let me look at the There's an application form. Shall I send you one? Yeah All right. I can be an auxiliary member here in California. I Let me see I think that just about depleted. Oh, no. I do have one more one more thing Perfect for the times everybody Wow oh my God It's a good one in the business of selling sentiments. That's pretty funny. There's a card for everything

CHAPTER 33 / 34 Discussion

Hallmark Layoff Cards, Karma Card Business Idea

Hallmark has introduced a line of greeting cards specifically for people who have been laid off. This inspires a satirical business discussion about creating "Karma Cards," "Douchebag Cards," and "In the Morning" cards to license to major retailers.

hallmark· greeting cards· layoffs· karma· business model

2:19:06 Cards with sound for sympathy for losing a tooth, but losing a job. Yes now there's a card for that, too Don't think of it as losing your job Think of it as a timeout between stupid bosses. Yeah, I mean that would be that would be clever to give to someone So this one we just got in hallmark recently rolled out a new line of layoff greeting cards yay How come we can't think of great things like that? That's a good one. That's a money maker. That's a big money maker. And you look at this whole report and people are like, that's very funny. That's great. Yes, I would really appreciate getting a card like that. I think we should have cards when the opening goes, douchebag. Yeah. Or you could do this one. Here we go.

2:19:57 You've got karma. That couldn't be too hard. Karma card. Karma card. Hey! KarmaCard.com. I love it. We could have the karma card and then the douchebag. Douchebag. You just open it up and it says douchebag. Yeah, you've gotten these cards, right? Do you open them up and it's a bag? Yeah, yeah, yeah, of course. It's a genius idea. How about this one? How about this one? Um... Yeah, the front of the card says, hey, watch your back. And you open it up... Okay, what else could we do I think in the morning card would be important. Yeah And we have the international market That's good, we got the international market what else can we do? I know you're feeling a bit down, but I know your doctor helped you out recently so I

2:21:00 Or how about I was gonna bake you a cake with some corn in it. Monsanto. We could just keep on going forever. And we could tie in with Walgreens. It's the Zoltagenda Swine Flu Minute. I love it. Or the best one yet. Happy birthday now that you're 40 and a mom. MILF. That's one mother I'd like to. This is a score John. Get the shill on this. Yeah, well, she would be the guy to do it. And each one in the corner will have a secret stealth helicopter. Perfect. As a hologram. Karma card, douchebag card, in the morning card. What a great idea. Finally, we're going to be rolling in the dough. Uh-huh. Can we license it to Hallmark? I'm sure that Hallmark would love to do a douchebag card. I'm sure there's some China company that can do this for us, isn't there? There's got to be. Oh yeah. No, I'm sure you can get these for like five cents out of China.

2:22:04 This is fantastic. I'm very excited now. So now this is wiped off the bad feeling about low numbers for today. Now we're going to be rocking. Totally rocking. I love it. Good job. So I ran into one last clip here. I ran it besides the wrath of Khan. Which is our end of show clip. I did this clip and JC said, ah, that's no agenda material. And I said, well, I don't know that it's not. And the reason is because I think it's an interesting little, just a subtext, subtle message. They've got a new woman on, I guess one of the guys quit SVU, he got sick of the show and they brought in some, some Southern chick.

Dallas-Atlanta TV Gaffe, Wrath of Khan Outro

The show concludes with a critique of a geographical error in "Law & Order: SVU" and a "prompter fail" by actress Kim Delaney at a military event. The episode ends with the iconic "KHAAAAN!" clip from "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan" and a final plea for listener support.

2:22:49 And I don't know if you tell me if you can catch the slight insult as they ask her where she's from and I think it's it's just either a New York or a Los Angeles slam against the South based on the fact as far as everyone's concerned it's just one big bunch of dummies all the same. You're gonna have to help me because I'm looking at your clothes. Dallas Atlanta advertising. Okay. And I'm gonna come get you when you're ready for the lineup okay? I'll be back in a second. I didn't quite get the slam.

2:23:32 Well, it's like you're from Dallas and she's immediately agrees and says yeah well Lana as if it's the same place Right. This is not even necessarily near each other and I don't see what one person which would the commentary was Artificial again, of course JC thinks is not I think this was a very interesting subtle moment in TV history That's why you are the wizened one. I But anyway, I knew you wouldn't think much of it, but I'm telling you this. It's a- No, I think some of it. I just don't know if it compares to my Kim Delaney clip, which I've been saving. Hit it. Okay, I need set up. Kim Delaney is an actress. Oh, this is the Kim Delaney clip that everybody's passed around that everyone's already seen? Really? Play it.

2:24:18 I have to set it up. Kim Delaney is live on TV in, I want to say Boston? I don't think she was ever live on TV. No, this is live. This was live on television. That was a closed event. No, no, no. I have the live television registration. They pulled her off the stage. It's, I guess it's some kind of honoring ceremony for Robert Gates. And I don't know, she may be drunk but she can't read the prompter. She by the way is on the Army Wives show. And by the way, let me also make a comment on this clip. She's squinting constantly trying to read the prompter. So she's obviously not reading it. And I don't think she's drunk even though if you look up Kim Delaney alcoholism she shows up all over the place.

2:25:08 It sounds to me like somebody on eee. Oh, that's very possible. Yeah, I'll have to ask an expert But she's but it's a prompt or fail. Okay, so I've served in active. This is my job active duty military family for five years like so many others I've struggled with Multiple deployments supported my spouse through changes in administration and changes in station as he made difficult decisions of a senior officer. I've seen soldiers come home with painful, life-altering injuries, born of their time in service. I've attended numerous military funerals, including that of my best friend's son.

2:26:01 My heart has been broken on numerous occasions. It's so painful, you should watch it. I don't want to play any more of it. You should watch it. It is painful and it's long and then they just come up and they walk her off and she's dazed. Yeah, you ruined it for me, telling that everyone already heard it. I don't feel good about it anymore. Well, I think they have. I don't feel good about it. I have something here that I want to quit. I just want to quit. That's too long. Forget about it. I got the dumb bake sale story. Nah, that's too dumb. You know what? You've heard about it? Yeah, it was all over. Everyone's talking about it. Why would it be anywhere? It's the stupidest story ever. It's all over everywhere. It's a Berkeley thing. I don't get why it got any coverage at all. I got a note from Horowitz about it.

2:26:44 Well, it was on CNN, and Anderson Pooper's keeping him honest, and Don Lemon was there, you know, it's like, oh, it's a racial thing. It's like, who cares? I don't think we should talk- What's the matter, honey? She was not on E. My expert has just informed me. Oh, okay. Hey! Are you an expert all of a sudden? Is there some other thing that she thinks she might have been on? Is there anything else she might have been on, honey? Anything, any other particular drug you think? Prescription drugs? Uh-huh, yeah. Prescription drug she says. Nothing like E. Alright, let's stop a where ahead. Okay, so currently we have... Let me check. 544 people listening to the live stream of every single one of you would not be a boner and would donate $10 to Dvorak.org slash NA. We'd be set. And what's good about it is it's all under $50 so I wouldn't have to mention everybody and it would

But certainly a slave. Coming to you from the Hilltop Watchtower Crackpot Command Center, I am the voice of treason, your lone wolf, Adam Curry. And from Northern Silicon Valley where I'm the voice of raisins. I'm John C. Dvorak.

Stay tuned for the wrath of Khan first. Khan. Khan, you've got Genesis, but you don't have me. You are going to kill me, Khan. You're going to have to come down here. You're going to have to come down here. I've done far worse than kill you. I've hurt you.

2:29:12 And I wish to go on hurting you. I shall leave you as you left me. As you left her. Marooned for all eternity in the center of a dead planet. Buried alive. Buried alive. KHAAAA! KHAAAA! Adios, mofo. Devorak.org slash N-A
