Dead Herring in Norway!

00:00 That's not a great question! Predicting the presidential X-Factor reality show from Camp Mofo here in Austin, Texas. The capital of the drone star state in the morning everybody I'm Adam Curry and from Northern Silicon Valley where I am opening a new red book for 2012 I'm John C. Dvorak. Yeah, I got a new red book ready to go. Oh good yeah cuz I remember you You had left it downstairs during the previous broadcast right and so they notes were put where they're normally put which is on the back of two envelopes The old school system you mean our old filing system works It works and does it hard to look stuff up though? Yeah

00:59 Would you flip through the old? Envelopes would you speak of the red book would you mind stepping into the time machine for a second here no, no No, just no. No John John John Just get in just I just want to set what it does today has music. I don't know why yes get in okay There's the music for the time machine back to Sunday show one for Ron Paul three for Mitt. One for Ron Paul, three for Mitt that's how it's gonna be it's going to be well okay let's make some predictions we got oh damn I got the new red book but it's downstairs and I'm not gonna go down and get it uh I'll have to write on a piece of paper no I can give you the prediction right now okay give me your prediction okay Mitt Romney wins

01:48 Number two, Rick Santorum because they've just all of a sudden he's surging in the polls so the fix is in on him. They gotta have it they got to have a buffer between him and Ron Paul. Ron Paul will be third even though of course you will win the election the nomination or the caucus. He will actually win it but they're gonna fake it up and it'll be Romney, Santorum and then Ron Paul okay? You can get out of The Time Machine now No, no it's this one. How about that huh? Yeah that was spot on! And people are saying how did you know? It is so easy... I have to remind people that you have a thesis which i think pays off more often than not and which is everything is rigged and I think your matches your

02:48 this matches your world cup yeah which actually I totally subscribe to the idea that all World Cups are the winners are based on geopolitical aspects of the day's news indeed and this was it was actually quite funny now i don't know if you were doing the Dvorak Horowitz unplugged show although So it was two hours later for me. I actually stayed up until 2 in the morning just because it was such interesting, not great but interesting... What? No way! You just nailed the prediction you wanted to make sure when you went to bed that you were happy

03:32 Yeah, no I had a blog post all ready to go. Like yeah no! No you know they had me on the edge of my seat and but i knew it I knew what was going to happen It was like everything was so beautifully scripted if you and I sat down and said okay we have to do this week's episode of the presidential X Factor reality show We would have done it exactly like this. This is and the way Ron Paul first showed up and did his speech, and then we had Santorum show up and do his speech during his speech He jumps ahead by, you know... No he's ahead. He does his speech then Romney jumps ahead then it's back to Santorum and the Santorum stays ahead until the very end and then they can't get their results It was like okay really? So perfect! Clearly it was rigged

04:26 And it doesn't matter because in the system, Ron Paul not only got the electoral votes that he needs which is seven I believe. So each of the... Well that's not necessarily true because it turns out when you start looking into it that this whole thing is something of a facade Because they still have another meeting and then they maybe throw all the votes to anybody they want too This whole thing was This caucus thing is not necessarily, it's not necessarily by law divided up into each person getting X number of votes. No but what the Ron Paul campaign has done is they made sure that their people stayed so that they would actually become delegates and I think that's... Yeah you get those delegates in there. That's what you want as you... So it was a completely useless exercise It was only good for television. Did you see

05:18 Did you watch at the very end when the votes, I mean it was absolutely crazy. Anderson Cooper at a certain point said to... What's that financial douchebags name on CNN? Douchebags on CNN is kind of like that. He says What the hell is this magic Twitter wall you've got? What the hell does it mean?! Like, they're completely discrediting all of their stuff. They're swooping stuff back and forth between screens... Erin Burnett walking around without her shoes on- By the way! From purely from a television producer standpoint. She's done a good job on her lower half. She's losing weight is what you're saying? Yeah, she's losing weight... Still needs some work Well she's dressing in black so she hides the belly a little bit but no it's good I think it's good The legs still need some work and stuff that's why she's not on Fox and why she doesn't CNN But it was just funny and Fox was even funnier They had What's-her-face the girl who needs to eat Megan

06:22 Megyn Kelly? Yeah, she needs to eat. She's thinning out too much. She needs to eat alright At a certain point she's like zoom out there is no one here it's just us and the makeup people I'm like oh man they totally broke down Well they were sick of working all that I mean that's East Coast time those people are just three to four in the morning. It was hilarious it was a good television is what it was and I think that the only reason they delayed the final results because I guess they had some make goods to do or something on the advertisement for the ads yeah we ran you ran man but it was like 3 in the morning no one was watching it so I was watching C-SPAN about this voting process

07:06 They had Linda Upmeyer on, who was the president of the Iowa caucus. And she makes a number of faux pas. Here's the guy who calls in and is clearly crazy, of course that's whenever you call him on the independent line You can even see the host going oh god he's even crazy crying right now. Breaking up I want to make sure we get this right. You're hearing that the final tally from Iowa would be counted in Illinois? Yeah just saw it was a report on Chicago radio just said yesterday. Just read that this morning on the internet So, without me having the title of Republican leader I would like to know where are these votes going to be counted? Are they doing anything different this time or are they going to be counted behind closed doors. Let's talk about how the caucuses work go ahead Linda Altmeier

07:59 Sure, sure that's a great question. That is not even a question! Well I guess it is in the vaguest sense but how do the caucuses work? Is not a great question But thats actually the question The questions will the votes be counted In Illinois That's the question. Well, I know but the question that she said it was a great question was refreshing reference to this It's a great question Would you like to hear the answer to this? Great question which is not an answer Every individual vote that is cast at a caucus will be counted At the caucus in full view of everyone there

08:43 uh... every one of the candidates has an opportunity to have an observer watch that count so everything is counted there then they are called into a central location and all that is tallied typically that has been at camp uh... excuse me what? Camp what? What was she going to say do you think I don't know. Camp David? Camp MoFo! Camp MoFo here, counting up the votes. Hello we have the votes from camp mofo. Headquarters in Des Moines...I'm not positive if that's exactly the location where they'll She is the president of the whole shebang. So she doesn't answer the question. She is not positive thats were it was done

09:24 So there's some other guy that I found on the internet who called into the press office there at the Iowa Republican or whatever, whoever counts the votes. And and the answers that he got it had a little snippet here were quite revealing because the way it works as you just heard Linda great question up Meyer say is they're tallied locally and then they're called in to a central location and that of course is the weak link. that the numbers can be falsified. Oh, really? Numbers can be falsified! Right... So the guy goes, Aha! That's what I'm talking about! Is there any possibility that these numbers could be falsified in the Iowa caucus coming up? No and absolutely not. Huge chance! Now listen to this is what he says It wouldn't benefit anybody no it would benefit to do that then we make no sense why would anyone want to falsify that makes no it's no benefit

10:38 But of course during the broadcast this is the single most tweeted item and emailed link to me Which I'm sure you got exactly the same was when? They cut over to the Ron Paul camp. They did they went Ron Paul camp Santorum Camp Romney camp, and there's a Ron Paul camp and again as a soldier in fatigues with it yeah with a big 9-11 never forget tattooed in his neck But oh boy, the following happens for those of you who are not aware of this and of course we do have many listeners outside of Gitmo Nation proper here. Paul let's go to Danabash over at Ron Paul headquarters right now I guess more and more people are coming back from their caucuses to wait for the candidate

11:28 That's right and we have here somebody who actually did just go vote for Ron Paul, a first-time caucus voter. Corporal Jesse Thorson who is 28 years old and you are active duty U.S Army what did you vote for? Now let's be in the control room John okay I you want to either be the producer or the director which one do you want to be? I'll be the director I'm really excited. I close zoom in on him especially when it comes to bring the soldiers home, I've been serving for 10 years now and all ten years of those who do not have time. I'd like to see a little peacetime army and i think he has a great idea. You have done two tours in Afghanistan you told me your going back for a third tour. Does she have the script?

12:11 Does she have the script? Wait a minute, what is she talking about the tattoo?! What is she talking about this tattoo thing!? What is she talking about the tattoos? 9-11! Cut it. back on the post from all over the world. Well I think it would be even more dangerous to start... Cut to Romney, cut to Romney, cut to Romney, cut to Romney, cut to Romney, cut to Romney, cut to Romney, Israel is more incapable of... Alright, mess up the satellite link, okay cue Wolf! Wolf! Wolf! Sorry we just lost our connection unfortunately with Dana, Dana stand by if you can hear me we're gonna get back you want to go to Kenny Crowley over at Mitt Romney headquarters Zoom out she's really big fill up that room over there Kenny She's filling up a room alright

12:51 And of course they never came back to him. Of course not! But it was funny because at a certain point Anderson Cooper actually made a comment about it and he said, I don't have that here but he said well you know we lost the satellite link and of course people on the internet are gonna say we did it on purpose yeah why even mention that? Because the internet was saying that. You did do it on purpose, because it's so obvious! And then... That's the only you know yeah I was ridiculous. We'd be really good at this and we work for peanuts We'd work cheap, wouldn't we? We're working cheap now. Yeah no kidding hey by the way in the morning to you John I forgot to say that In the morning do you Adam Curry in the morning all ships at sea boots on the ground and caucuses in the uh... in New Hampshire's ...in the mountains yes in the mountains and of course let me just say hi to the chat room

13:49 Oh, hello chat room. Yes in the morning to your chat room no agenda stream calm No agenda chat net always here in a full-blown caucusing mode when we are doing the show live on Sunday and Thursday mornings 9 o'clock get more nation West time so the Colbert show has Stephen Colberry jumps off of a cliff with holding a flag and they always have these different words flying around him And there's one they change every so often And there's only one time I've ever seen where he said the little phrase once and then the next day it was gone. Which was caucus blocker. Oh no, not caucus blocker, caucus tease! And uh...I-I was thinking about it and apparently I was like the last person in the family to get the joke As in cocktease? Yeah Well you're not a sexually oriented guy That's my job Apparently not No

14:42 Or I'm not, I don't have a filthy mind. Let's put it that way like you! I'm still young and vibrant Alright, do you have a clip? No. You don't have a clip Yeah I do have a clip but one of the clips that was interesting or somebody... it was actually on CNN Played the Romney in 2008 which i'm not sure about the overriding meaning of this but I found to be kind of interesting Cedar Rapids is in Linn County 6.6% of population Governor Romney Santorum third there That's one reason so as you watch this now you have the closest race In Iowa caucus history Wow

15:19 Governor Romney wins 30,015 votes. You want to see something eerie? 25% 30,015 votes we go back four years Governor Romney 30,021 votes six votes difference yeah he got less vote it was all very very funny and I'm ready too uh... i think what happened by the way you know so Rick Perry said no we're going back to Texas and pray And Michelle Bachman said, you know we're moving forward. We knew she was out but I think Perry got the call like hello yeah hi this is the producer of the presidential X Factor reality show. I'm sorry we really need you for this next episode

16:13 You know, it's really important for the ratings. Uh you are you're completely loved I will give you a little bump, you know So so you don't have to go and defeat you can we're gonna give you a bump for the next week or two till he's coming back Yeah, I think there's a couple more interesting things coming up. They tried to tease one or I think possibly Gingrich went off the reservation because this didn't get much play Anywhere it was on one of the morning shows that may have been The Today Show and it was reprised on Colbert So there's a laugh track behind it But I want to play it because I thought it was the funniest thing and I know it was not part Of the script because the way it was played out but look for the Where is the clip?

16:53 Gingrich, Gingrich. Newt on Romney suppressed. Okay? Are you calling Mitt Romney a liar? Yes You're calling Mitt Romney a liar Well if you seem shocked by it I'd say yes Why are you saying he's a liar? This is the man whose staff created the PAC His millionaire friends fund the PAC He pretends that has nothing to do with the PAC It's baloney So, I found this to be quite interesting and it should make for a really good rating on the upcoming Friday or tomorrow's debate. Yes well i think what happened because you know everyone was talking about his concession speech where he was really angry

17:41 Yeah. And I think he's angry because the Clintons had promised, you know to buy up a whole bunch more votes and either they didn't just put enough money into it or whatever but they failed him and he was like what is this? You guys promised me this! You promised me a top-tier position so he was just PO that he hadn't gotten the support that the Clinton's promised them That's my assertion obviously. That should be in the second half of the show! No, there is much better stuff coming up for the second half of the show but I do think that We can't make any real predictions until after Saturday's debate because of course we'll have the New Hampshire primary on Tuesday Preliminary script writing I would say we keep Santorum in the running. We move Perry up To have more story, we have to have a little bit of a Cinderella story and

18:35 To obfuscate Ron Paul success once again, so I think that's probably where it'll go most importantly though. I think the lineup on Saturdays debate is something we need to look at I would be putting obviously Mitt Romney in the middle Santorum basically those two guys next to each other you know used to be Newt newt will have to move over one but the question is do we put? Ron Paul next to Santorum or Romney I'm thinking Romney well, I have a problem with not putting Gingrich next to Romney because that's where the fireworks and that's where the ratings are very good Okay, you're hearing your production meeting in process by the way okay But the problem is is that you're gonna get some blowback from the audience because especially the Ron Paul audience which is the most

19:27 the most vocal and you know, they point their finger at everything. So if you had in the center... You'd have Romney in the center as usual and if you put... And you flanked him with Santorum and Gingrich with Paul over it would cause a ruckus. A huge ruckus yeah! So why don't we put the Texans next to each other so they can like cancel each other out? I think you could actually almost take a chance. Well, it's hard to know that Huntsman is back We're screwed You're gonna have to put Romney in the middle then you have to put Gingrich on his left right good good spot on his right Yeah And then we'd have to put Perry next to that

20:12 No, I'm thinking where you're going to put Gingrich. I think Gingrich should be on the side of Santorum as opposed to the side of Ron Paul because it would be better to put Perry next to Ron Paul and then you'd marginalize the two Texans. Yes! And i think we should have Ron Paul way left because that's how we're positioning him in the media is he's even more left than Obama but where do we put Huntsman? Because that's unbalanced... Are we inviting him You got Romney. If we invite him, we're not paying for his transportation He can get his own damn hotel room I thought that was the case Everybody had to get their own hotel Yeah right...I can just see Huntsman Hey! I'm here for my per diem Yes We have the envelope for you here Yeah you're right it is unbalanced I think they'll just have to drop Huntsman We'll see...you know? We'll see Cause it'd be great to have just the five guys That would be fantastic It looks great on camera

21:14 Otherwise, you have to get the jib out again. It costs extra money Before we get into thanking some of our producers here I would like to Play a prediction from a different Red Book which was completely surprising to me Pat Robertson who has the what is it? Is it the CBN the Christian Broadcasting Network? Yeah So Pat Robertson has been a he's been at the forefront of American politics since the 60s as you not If you want to call it that. Don't all the presidents talk to him? I'm not sure Obama's ever had a word with him How about previous Presidents, certainly Republican Presidents have spoken with him Yeah I doubt Clinton really had much to do with the guy Clinton wasn't a Republican Well Clinton was a Republican as far as i am concerned So he uh... He had a talk with God

22:13 Oh, well that must have been entertaining. It was because God apparently told him who was going to be the next president and who is it gonna be? Well he's not allowed to tell. God told him not to tell anybody. What?! Yeah yeah I know... This is a non-transparent situation we're running into but the things God did tell them and the questions He asked had me raising my eyebrows let's hear this little segment from Pat Robertson on his little satellite station Better part of a week in prayer and just saying God show me something and oh by the way I'm not mocking God, but I am totally mocking Pat Roberts share with you Some things. I'll share with you. I think he showed me about

22:58 the next president but I'm not supposed to talk about that so... Yeah because you know God doesn't want to blow the ratings. God talked to CNN apparently too and CNN said oh please god don't let Pat spill the beans because we got the ratings think of okay. I believe in the dark probably just as well, probably just as well but i think I know who it's gonna be all right I'm going to read just what I wrote down, as if I am hearing from the Lord these words. Your country will be torn apart by internal stress. A house divided cannot stand. Your president holds a radical view of the direction of your country which is at odds with the majority. Expect chaos and paralysis. Your president holds a view which is at odds with the majority. It's a radical view of the future of the country and so that's why we're having this division."

23:53 This is a spiritual battle which can only be won by overwhelming prayer. The future of the world is at stake because if America falls, there's no longer a strong champion of freedom and a champion of the oppressed in the world." There must be an urgent call to prayer. Now this is... A lot of people talk to God, by the way, you know they pray but to have God reply so succinctly. Yeah, very rare! I think the last time it happened was like an 1100. What do you mean? Like those tablets? Somebody will get the joke a lot. But now listen to what Pat Robertson asked God he asked more questions which is his questions were

24:39 If you have God talking to you, and you've got some questions to ask... Oh yeah I've got some questions. I would like to know who's going to win the Super Bowl? I need some horses, ya know, so maybe pick up some extra cash. Stock tips! The Lord said a time of maximum stress and peril Greater than at any time since the CBN ministry began this country will begin disintegrating now This is this though. Now I'm like, oh wow So the Lord is predicting doom uh... yet but he would know the up so pat could you please ask us what kind of as the lord what kind of doing this could be now i thought when we start this place i started uh... cbn in and i think nineteen sixty um... that we had uh... uh... if they come all things are one on the other is a solution president says there's some work with the king you've got a war in vietnam even all these things he said it's a worst stress than before so i'm saying god

25:40 Let me give you some suggestions and you tell me if any of them are right. Alright, so what would your first suggestion be? If it's a guessing game with God I have no idea what this lunatic is even up to So I wouldn't even come up with something. Let me go on pick one so i said is it an EMP blast? Oh, bro Is that an EMP blast oh yeah hold on let's listen Is it a cosmic or solar radiation blast? No. Is it the Mayan galaxy alignment? No, its not that. Which will shock many! Is it Iranian and North Korean nuclear threat? No. Is an earthquake or volcano? No. Is it a massive power failure? NO! What is it? It's an economic collapse... Oh, please! And God said this is not my judgment. That's who was...that's the guy they called me other day I told about the economic collapse Yeah

26:41 There you go. Well, you know Robertson's old enough to know that they're about the cycles and yeah economic collapse so that's just You can find that in there I can find people saying that all over the place Why do you have to go to the man upstairs? It doesn't make sense Yeah, I think he wasted his time That's a bill is there our show total time waster the HM plug we talk about it Yeah, let's take this to talk about our some of our executive producers.

Someone was like...I'm thinking I wanna have some.. I wanna be fashionable like the Dutch let me google that. Let me...Amsterdam Fashion Dot NL Oh this is perfect! And you come to know agenda show calm I always get the biggest kick out of Dutch boutiques. Yeah, like a sensitive did the idea of coordinating colors is alien and we had Bill Edelen call into some radio show one of our producers and It's quite funny because I think that The guys who are doing the show know about our show as you'll hear in this little clips and

33:13 If you don't have any third eye wisdom, what you can do is just describe what's going on around. You can do either or this is your little take right now on your 840 double-toke, your third eye wisdom Bill in North Carolina man What's on your mind? I could kind of bullshit media Listen to dangerous conversation with Scott Badger listen to Joe Rogan listen at the no agenda podcast with Adam Curry and John C Dvorak Listen to the crazy media and yes, they're putting through then listen to the real people know what you know what? What's going on nicely done and whoo? So that this they hit the bell right after he calls in I did yeah That was a new no. I just did this was me But he hit the bill first in the show

34:11 But if you're going to call into radio shows, which we highly encourage. Yeah try to be sober or write it down You can be drunk and write it down that might work but anyway We highly appreciate the effort there Bill definitely got the word out so thats very good Of course everyone else out there you can go out and do something very important Which is propagate our formula Our formula is this...we go out..We hit people in the mouth Order! Kill! Shut up slave

34:55 I did some other work if you want to know. Nah! Really? Because... I've got a couple of things before we get to that, that i think what I'd like to talk about. All right. Rick Santorum uses neuro linguistic programming in his chatter Would you like to explain briefly NLP to our audience who are unfamiliar with it? You know better than I do, you explain it. Well neuro-linguistic programming is stuff that you do with your words and with your and with your body language that essentially communicates a message to the recipient in a way that you can actually get people to do crazy things.

35:37 It's a well-known science. I'll give an example of it. Devorek dot org slash N A Donating is loving J jingles are part big parts Santorum I caught the bunch I got two things where he's doing doublespeak and i want you to listen to him then try tell me exactly what he said because you won't be able But earlier, he was on Meet the Press. Earlier I caught this very weird style of chatter that incorporates...I've never seen this before and i've tried to do it myself and I can't do it

36:14 You know where people, you run into people that are always making assumptions about the way you think so they'll say something. Why? Because they do it... in other words they dropped the word why into a sentence Yeah well its very much like in Silicon Valley people say right which is basically making you affirm what he just said Exactly Right So or look That's another one. Why? Look, exactly. So they'll say and it always makes the assumption I always find it offensive when I hear the word why asked like that because it is making an assumption that I'm actually asking a question

36:54 then I'd want to know why. Why don't you just tell me? You don't have to ask me why." It works! Now, Santorum...you have to listen very carefully to this Santorum neuro-linguistic insertion He puts Y in the stream in such a way that it doesn't even...it's not even a question. It's just the word WHY and I would challenge you without writing something down to actually do what he...what you're about to hear. You'll hear the word WHY twice And it's just in the flow and I found it extremely fascinating. And you've heard me talk about this many times. You can't have a strong economy and just as strong economic plan unless you have strong families and moral values in this country, why? Because that's the underpinning of our society. But you're talking about trust for limited government. Yeah he is good at that. That's very good. It's actually the phrase is why because...

38:01 Which is not asking why and... No, I like that better because it doesn't give you time to think. It's like oh yeah here's the answer okay thank you for giving me the answer it's much quicker I think that's a good way of doing it. It's amazing! And he does it constantly why? Because he does Why we should do that too Donating to NOA Agenda is really a good idea Why because it will bring you the truth Exactly. We should do that more often ourselves, why? Because it really helps! I'm gonna practice this... Why because it really works So I'm noticing him doing this, so i'm breaking that apart. So then I hear the double speak stuff and I've got two examples and the first one is like it's good but the second one...I challenge you to tell me what he said but let's play number 1 Didn't you when you were running for re-election do the same thing you accused Romney of which was moderating your stance to try to win a democratic state? Today today I would support laws that would provide for those exceptions but I'm not FOR them in other words I support the Hyde Amendment

39:04 But the Hyde Amendment provides exception for rape and incest in the life of the mother. And so, yes I support laws that provide those exceptions because if we can get those passed then then we need to do that but... That's not a violation of your pledge? No you try it out. I supported the Partial Birth Abortion Ban Act Now, does that ban all abortions? No. But it moves the country in the right direction and so what I've said in the past consistently is I'll support laws that move the ball forward That doesn't mean thats my position and thats where Id like to go but thats exactly the direction we need to be going. Is that amazing? Yeah and the reason why... I support it but i don't like, I don't support it because I have to support but I don't support. I support don't say what?! This is how you protect accusations of being a flip-flopper Why? Because he's a flip flopper

39:56 see how it is all about now the second one I i'm asking you to explain to me exactly what he says here because its like wow this isn't jam and in order to get that the necessary votes to get that done you have to make compromise but we did a direction of limited government may be less than what we wanted to but we weren't going in the direction up more government and getting less of more that's where republicans have been an error for so many years and that is compromising on just a little less big government instead of saying no, no more compromises unless big government will compromise on less-less government not going the other way. Wait a minute isn't less-less more? But not going the other way

40:41 I'm telling you this is a gem of a quote. He's, you know, compromising on less-less but not going the other way. What? Ladies and gentlemen we do this so you don't have to But you know you sit around and when your watching television stuff spinning on the screen and all kinds of stuff happening You don't really parse this And it's so great to hear it just in audio Because then you're not distracted by his hair or any anything else that's being Flushes on the score on the screen. It's really the way to do it It's really good and he nailed that one You really did less less less less why because it's more so I'm going the other way No, let's just left less is more Why because it's more now I support things but then I don't support them Why because supporting them is not the right position to not support? Why because it's that way vote for me

41:38 So anyway, yeah there were a couple of bills that were passed on the day of the caucuses. Not couple actually let me count Where is it? I thought they were out of session right now. Oh, I'm sorry signed by the president. Signed yeah well he signs on if it was at all during the dead of night yes It was actually let me tell you bring it up here because you know I subscribe to the RSS feed of The Press Office because it's not like this is on the news anywhere and so The Press Office this was Tuesday January 3rd

42:14 So it was, they do it on when all everyone is in Iowa. No one's paying attention let me count them 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9...9 The president signed nine bills into law three of them caught my eye and I thought they were rather interesting House Resolution 515, known as the Act that may be cited as the Belarus Democracy and Human Rights Act of 2011. Always interested in something where we're protecting human rights! Two highlights... The United States resolves to continue support the growth of democratic movements and institutions in Belarus which empower the people of Belarus to end tyranny in their country

43:08 Resolved to continue to refuse to accept the results of the fundamentally flawed December 9, 2010 presidential election held in Belarus and to support calls for a new presidential and parliamentary elections conducted in a manner that is free and fair according to OSCE standards. So okay that's interesting so Belarus is definitely being targeted And then section 5 here it comes Radio, television and internet broadcasting to Belarus. Quote It is the sense of Congress that the president should support radio, television and internet broadcasting to the people in Belarus in languages spoken in Belarus by Free Radio Europe, Radio Liberty, The Voice Of America, European Radio for Belarus and Belsat So there's your propaganda

43:56 So you know this is a reaction to what took place Exactly in Belarus where they said you can't go on the internet exactly well No, actually what they said. You can't go outside But you can only go to Belarus websites which is why What great website says Belarus have that's gonna entertain the public? What does their domain name dot BS it should be so I thought that was pretty interesting then we have Very short one house resolution 1 0 5 9 er by the way. It was just a backup on that Belarus thing again If the fact that we're on top of this to such an extreme the president be signing stuff Means that the read that the Belarus original reaction of cutting off internet access to the outside world had to be because we were pumping stuff in there by the

44:54 crap load obviously you know pumping in propaganda with some all you know something in mind and they got wind of it and then that's why they did this oh we can't have any no more get off get off get up the internet enough because the reaction to return reaction is less less. It came up just right away I mean it must've so had to be on the top of somebody's list I mean normally you'd just beat around the bush about something like this, all those crazy Belarus people who cares. But no apparently we do care because we're doing something weird. We're sneaking it...doing a sneak attack! I would say Belarus is important geopolitically speaking Well i'm going to look it up once you take a look at that and then I will read very small bill but not unimportant House Resolution 1059

45:44 extension of redaction authority concerning sensitive security information There's just some replacements here in subparagraph C by inserting, and the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs and the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform after senate in subparagraph E. In other words redaction powers now expanded to documentation from the Department of Homeland Security, the Governmental Affairs and the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform So, essentially shut up slave we're not going to show you anything. Send us your foyer and we are going to send you a magic marker which I found quite insulting. But what was really crazy John did you find Belarus by the way? What the deal is with Belarus? Yeah it appears to be oil shale. Oh no! Did you do Belarus Oil? Was that your Google? Yeah of course that's my old trick

46:44 Is it Belarus Google or Belarus scam? One of the two will show you something good. So then they apparently have a I don't think it's just us that has an issue here, the Russians were in bed with via the deal between Exxon and Putin directly. It seems to be there's been a dispute going on between Russia and the Belarusians, and I think they're probably doing their part too to steal the oil. Of course! Who gets Belarusian oil? That's the whole deal right? They failed a renewing agreement on crude oil export tariffs. It was a tariff deal. And... Why else would we care? Why else would be pointing our satellite transmissions and internet broadcasts to Belarus? Why else do we care for oil there is no other reason

47:33 Yeah, we're talking billions of barrels. Oh yeah it's a big deal Now the one that blew me away, that this got no coverage. I would have thought this at least would have gotten some coverage House Resolution... I wanted to interrupt you for a second. I want people when they're driving around to we know we're in a petroleum economy but i don't know how much we realize unless we come to grips with it just drive around and look at everything you see if it wasn't for oil transportation via the internal combustion engine or everything you see around you would not exist and plastic Well plastic but to move wood and chop down wood you need a motor. You chop it down, then put it in the truck and then move it to the place where you need power tool I mean every single thing And all this pipe dream about renewable energy is joke So we need oil Yeah making yourself popular Lots of it Give us more oil People just...anyway That's whole different other set of programming that

48:36 I don't think we can combat ourselves. Except through carbon, because you know we're gonna die if we use more oil. I dunno about that... So the bill that blew me away that it got no mainstream coverage is House Resolution 1892 better known as- As opposed to the other ones that got NO MAINSTREAM COVERAGE? Yeah this is what I do for kicks! Have you seen Mickey? He's hot right?! You could have other things to do for kicks. Uh, this act may be cited as the Intelligence Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012. Ooh! Yeah! I'm like well this is interesting...

49:17 This is, who is this for? Well it turns out funds are hereby authorized to be appropriated for the following United States government departments. Office of the Director of National Intelligence, The Central Intelligence Agency, The Department of Defense, The Defense Intelligence Agency, National Security Agency, Department Of Army, The Department Of Navy and The Department Of Air Force, The Coast Guard Department of State, Department of the Treasury, Department of Energy, Department of Justice Federal Bureau of Investigations The Drug Enforcement Administration The National Reconnaissance Office The National Geospatial Intelligence Agency And the Department of Homeland Security This is not a small deal I would say So couple things that highlighted Of course we always have these in show notes You can find it under clips and stuff In the show notes at 371.nashownotes.com The first thing right off the bat It says the President cannot disclose anything

50:07 The president shall not publicly disclose the classified schedule of authorizations or any portions of such schedule. Which, of course means is a portion we don't have it's the classified portion which were not allowed to see so that's just why because its classified shut up slave There's an authorized okay, so here's the money portion just the director of national intelligence So you heard all those departments that I mentioned right just the director of national intelligence by himself gets five hundred and seventy six million dollars why Well, to Spain. What does he do? It's one guy! Well the elements within the intelligence community management for the Director of National Intelligence is authorized 777 full-time or full time equivalent personnel To do what?! Spy! Spy on you! But they're not spies they're supposed to be coordinating the other spy agencies Well there are a lot of spies to coordinate apparently

51:01 The Central Intelligence Retirement Agency, retirement and disability fund. Oh half a billion dollars. That's surprisingly low I guess what the maybe you just bumped these guys off of them? Well these guys don't retire you know it's just like that's true they don't retire sorry either that or they stay on the dole no pension for you Now here's something that I found very interesting, which I'm glad is in here. Section 302 the authorization of appropriations by this act shall not be deemed to constitute authority for the conduct of any intelligence activity which is not otherwise authorized by the Constitution or the laws of the United States

51:47 I would say these guys are doing nothing but doing stuff that is not allowed by the Constitution or the laws of the United States. Read that again because it's written, did you read it verbatim? Of course. I think the trick is the laws of the United States. The authorization of appropriations by this Act shall not be deemed to constitute authority for the conduct of any intelligence activity which is not otherwise authorized by the Constitution or the laws of the United States So I think the interpretation is what are the laws of the United States? Is that the Constitution or is that just... I don't even think that's what it says. I think it says we're giving you money to do with as you see fit, but it doesn't mean its okay

52:37 So in other words, I'm giving... say you're an assassin. I give you a... I want you to assassinate XYZ. Here's $10,000 for your expenses. You know what to do? Uh-huh. I mean, I'm not authorizing you to kill anybody! Oh, you just authorized me to give the money. Yeah kind of thing. Okay yeah, I'll take that. There is little double speak in there. Do ya think? I think Rick Santorum is writing this stuff. There's a new position Chief Information Officer of the Intelligence Community that has been created. That's a new... CIO? Yes, the CIO of the CIA- Hey I'm the CIO of the CIA how you doing? It's in eyes Now here is one that blew me away Section 414 Creating an official record Of the Osama Bin Laden operation now we know he who wins gets to write history this is it

53:38 They're gonna hire somebody to phony up a story. He actually wrote it, it's right here! Oh is there? Yeah this is the official story and so this is now on record as the official story of the Osama Bin Laden operation I think we should read through it... I'm listening On May 1st, 2011 United States personnel killed terrorist leader Osama Bin Laden during the course of a targeted strike against his secret compound in Abbottabad Pakistan. It reads so well, this secret compound. Yeah it does! This is pretty good. Osama bin Laden was the leader of the Al-Qaeda terrorist organization The most significant terrorist threat to the United States and the international community Now here's one I think they messed up And this will come back to bite him in the butt because this is the official record

54:27 Osama Bin Laden was the architect of terrorist attacks which killed nearly 3,000 civilians on September 11th 2001. The most deadly terrorist attack against our nation in which Al Qaeda terrorists hijacked four airplanes and crashed them into the World Trade Center in New York City the Pentagon and Washington DC And due to heroic efforts by civilian passengers to disrupt the terrorists near Shanksville Pennsylvania So no longer can they call any other guy the architect of 9-11 because this is it. This is he was the architect so you can't say who's that other guy? They'd that old Sheikh Mohammed shukr Allah a guy whatever, so they can't call him The architect because that's factually incorrect then they have a whole thing about oh This is even crazier Osama bin Laden planned or supported numerous What does it created

55:21 What was the jobs thing? Oh yeah, saved or created. Saved or created. Planned or supported numerous other deadly terrorist attacks against the United States and its allies including the 1998 bombings of the United States embassies in Kenya and Tanzania, The 2000 attack on the USS Cole in Yemen And against innocent civilians in countries around the world including the 2004 attack on commuter trains in Madrid Spain and 2000 bombings of the mass transit system in London England That's bullcrap! We know that Madrid, Spain was not an Osama Bin Laden operation. I think that's been admitted! Yeah...I think it was not. No longer. It is now the official record

56:01 And now of course you got to give some props to George W. Following the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks the United States under President George W Bush led an international coalition into Afghanistan to dismantle Al Qaeda deny them a safe haven in Afghanistan and ungoverned areas along the Pakistani border and bring Osama bin Laden to justice Okay, so we should get out now that the guy's dead. I guess that's what yeah We were thinking yeah well I guess not president Barack Obama in 2009 committed additional forces and resources to efforts in Afghanistan and Pakistan as the quote central front in our enduring struggle against terrorism and extremism

56:43 The valiant members of the United States Armed Forces have courageously and vigorously pursued Al-Qaeda and its affiliates in Afghanistan and around the world. This is all official record! The anonymous, unsung heroes of the intelligence community have pursued al Qaeda and its affiliates in Afghanistan Pakistan around the world with tremendous dedication sacrifice and professionalism What? Is this a jerk off session?! This one sounds like unsung heroes The closed collaboration between the armed forces and the intelligence community prompted the Director of National Intelligence, General James Clapper to state, quote, Never have I seen a more remarkable example of focused integration, seamless collaboration and sheer professionalism magnificent as was demonstrated by the intelligence community in the ultimate demise of Osama bin Laden.

57:30 This is really it's like, like, let me do here. Magnificence is a word? Magnificent professional magnificence. That's a good one right? Sheer no wait, sheer professional magnificence Wow that goes above and beyond I'd say I would love to have that on my tombstone he was a shining example of shear professional magnificence While the death of Osama bin Laden represents a significant blow to the Al Qaeda organization and its affiliates, and to terrorist organizations around the world, terrorism remains a critical threat to United States national security. Thank you for codifying that. President Obama said for over two decades Bin Laden has been al-Qaedas leader and symbol and has continued to plot attacks against our country... For over 2 decades? Wait a minute!

58:23 Wasn't he like hanging out with everybody in the past 20 years? With the Bushes. No, he goes back to 93 with their first attack on the World Trade Center Did they say it was him then? Well no, they said now And of course there was also that Yemen guy that we killed He had something to do with it too Everybody does and I think there were some embassy bombings predated that So I think it is two decades So I'll skip ahead to the end part here. For years to come, for years to come John... This is like..I love this history! Americans will look back at this event- I gotta do it better than this. For years to come Americans will look back at this event as a defining point in the history of the United States

59:15 It is vitally important that the United States memorialize all the events that led to the raid so that future generations will have an official record of the events that transpired before, during and as a result of the operation. And preserving this history now will allow the United States to have an accurate account of the events while those who participated in these events are still serving in government." Isn't it beautiful? Yeah, I like the way you read it. You almost got to a good voice. Um...I think they're going to put up a memorial of some sort that people can visit and if somebody actually maybe took a look at it probably is just they just need a new place for a dead drop So there is a report not later than 90 days after the completion

1:00:08 the report being prepared by the Center for the Study of Intelligence that documents the history of and the lessons learned from The raid that resulted in the death of Osama bin Laden, the director of the Central Intelligence Agency shall submit such report to Congressional intelligence committees which as we know of course can redact everything because that was in the other act. So We'll never know what the official record is when the report comes out but thanks anyway guys highly appreciate it I just found it very interesting that they would codify the official history. And by the way, will the report have any pictures? I think not

1:00:50 And then finally, not later than 90 days after the date of the enactment of this act. The Secretary of Homeland Security shall submit to the Congressional Intelligence Committees, the Committee on Homeland Security of the House of Representatives and the Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental blah blah blah blah to everybody... On whether restrictions on the use of airspace are hampering the use of unmanned aerial vehicles by the Department of Homeland Security along the international border between the United States and Mexico. It is the sense of Congress that the nation's railway transportation, including subway transit network, is broad and technically complex requiring robust communication between private sector stakeholders and the intelligence community to identify monitor and respond to threats. The Department of Homeland Security Office of Intelligence Analysis maintains a constructive relationship

1:01:41 with the federal agencies and private entities to safeguard our railways and railway transportation security including subway transit. Security should continue to be prioritized in the critical infrastructure threat assessment developed by the Office of Intelligence, i.e., TSA at the subway." Well there was already a report that the Department of Homeland Security is going to begin Putting their officers at subway stations. Oh here it is bus yeah, not well They don't say bus specifically but still be buses It'll be buzzes it which brings us back to Obama's assertion about not having to take your shoes off at the Railroad station I have that Here we go let's just listen to that Imagine boarding a train in the center of the city No racing to an airport

1:02:29 And across the terminal, no delays. No sitting on the tarmac. No lost luggage. No taking off your shoes. Ooh! Don't take it off your shoes! Right. Bullcrap! Bull crap? Bullshit! There you go we read the bills so you don't have to believe me no one else is Yep...no one else is nobody cares Nobody cares But there's your official record of the bin Laden death. I mean if anybody really cared, they would be... The whole country would be up in arms about that defense act that Obama signed on Saturday just before New Year's and nobody was looking There was another bill, and I hate to do this to you

1:03:12 It's bill day here on no agenda ladies and gentlemen. Well, you know it is a hook that we have This isn't this has not been signed by the president But it is a bill proposed by senator I'm sorry congressman representative Charles Dent This is House Resolution 3166 and 1698 The Enemy Expatiation Act Here's the relevant line To add that engaging in or supporting hostilities against the United States will result in United States nationals losing their nationality.

1:03:51 Remember that yeah, remember they'd made such a big deal about well this doesn't count for United States citizens Well it so now they just put another bill out. Oh, that's beautiful that now okay Let me write that death This is the this is the you could find of the day You want to write down HR? I'll give you this one. This is the show's over we can stop now Okay, well good night everybody It was good very great goods talking to you again and And remember your screwed HR 316. That's our new tagline, you're screwed! You're screwed! Welcome to No Agenda Show, you're screwed! It's the Enemy Expatriation Act it's fantastic I mean how smart is this thank you darling could you just say donating is loving for me real quick? Do it next time? No get lost! She wants to get her sexy voice on

1:04:49 I got to work on that. Yeah, hey baby go put your ear go you put your earbuds in? yeah it's so they and let me just add it let me Reread this So the National Defense Authorization Act is the one that where they pointed out continuously no No This arresting anyone by the military throwing a bag over your head and throw you into a van It doesn't count if you're an American citizen unless The Enemy Expatriation Act goes into effect, which it has not yet but we need to start screaming about it. Oh yeah, it'll be... It's a done deal! Engaging in or supporting hostilities against the United States will result in a United States national losing their nationality. At which point we can throw a bag over your head and then throw you into the van

1:05:40 It's a one-two punch. Exactly! A technicality Yeah, it's just a little technicality Well this reminds me of this kind of brings to mind is the story coming out at Texas your neck in the woods some poor girl You know, left at home running away and before she was decided to go back home she was 15. The ICE people picked her up... Threw her out! And threw out of the country they threw in the Columbia because he gave a fake name which match some old woman is fifteen-year-old that's an old you know I guess some criminal that was, had left Colombia. She was just using a fake ID and she couldn't get up... she couldn't communicate anything else because she couldn't speak Spanish the girl hmm and so they said okay you're out of here and they threw her in it deported her! She's just an American citizen! Some kid at the bus terminal I mean unbelievable Unbelievable really? She is still in Columbia The Colombians say I don't know we'll keep her

1:06:41 She's a good, she's good at housekeeping. She'd been working as a maid I guess. Windex? You're really horrible! You're screwed! Ah yes you're screwed courtesy of the No Agenda Show actually we should hit this for a second and now back to real news We haven't done a Real News in awhile...I got two pieces of real news one is uh i just want to play this because that's my two favorite people in the world Kim Kardashian and AJ Hammer If you're gonna come up with a name, a show business name that's the name. AJ Hammer? Everybody! AJ Hammer with ya! The hammer coming down! AJ Hammerrrr Yeah listen to this So California is broke as you know and they want to raise taxes Right even though there are no jobs highest unemployment in the country yeah but who do we raise tax people more well the tax the rich that's what I say right exactly taxed the rich who's rich

1:07:40 Apparently everybody but the real rich. Yeah, how about Kim Kardashian? Yeah with taxes. She's rich! And last but not least Kim Kardashian name being put out there by a campaign to raise taxes What's going on with that story Well, Kira if you do want to make headlines these days all you have to is mention the Kardashians and we'll talk about it. That's what really happens here The people behind an initiative to raise California income tax for millionaires realize Hey! You know what? We might get some attention if we use Kim Kardashian name And guess what? It worked I actually spoke with one of the guys behind the initiative last night on Showbiz Tonight His basic point is that Kim Kardashian only pays, listen to this one percentage point more than someone who earns around $47,000 a year. This is reportedly and considering the budget issues in California he thinks you know somebody like Kardashian who reportedly earned 12 million bucks last year can afford to pay a little more but again I think the big story here is you bring Kim Kardashian's name into the mix and get attention for whatever it is that your trying to peddle There ya go! That's how it works

1:08:43 Bring car we need to be associating with how about we associate ourselves with Kim Kardashian? We can get press. How about I have And no one's ever attempted that well everyone does it and we should jump on the bandwagon, that's my point Yeah, maybe you yeah, well tell this experiment. I have okay. I'm gonna say Lois Lois listen up. I have a sex tape of John C. Dvorak and Kim Kardashian Our first lady Michelle Obama is going to make a guest appearance on the popular Nickelodeon show iCarly and these douchebags have released a clip of her. Talk about your neuro-linguistic programming, how about just tell the kids how would you address the First Lady if you saw the First Lady in person? I would say hello Mrs President

1:09:45 Okay, and she prefers a different title actually wait is she So what are you doing here? Your excellency You don't call her your excellency. No no I kind of like it What an elite yeah excellency I kinda like it. It's cute, it's supposed to be funny but its not! You're screwed! Courtesy of the No Agenda Show Alright well what else? What else you got? I got lotsa stuff, I'm waiting for you to come in and blow me away boy

1:10:37 I'm not gonna blow you away, but do us some stuff on some things of China cropped up and i thought this was kind of interesting. China? I'm listening to the news hour and they're talking about Hamani and the Iranians and the bull crap about the Strait of Hormuz And then it just piqued my interest because a strange little mention comes in at the end of this play their thoughts on the Hamani We'll calculate that whether he will seek deliverance in a nuclear compromise, in order to bring about some relief to himself or whether he will seek deliverance with the nuclear weapon itself. Thinking that that will bring him shield from outside pressure I think recent history doesn't bode very well because of example, the lesson which Khamenei learned

1:11:27 from the example in Libya, Gaddafi's example in Libya was that when Gaddafi abdicated his nuclear program that made him vulnerable to outside intervention. Okay, so the clip I was looking for that's the one that's the one you said it's a clip that I do want to comment on which is I was thinking I Was listening in this guy whose was a funny a commentator and kept having jokes within his commentary He mentioned he said he says this well You know they once Qaddafi dropped the his development of because a lot of people just believed that Iran They began development on a nuke during the Iran-Iraq war and then once that war ended they continued for awhile. And then once we invaded Iraq, invaded Iraq and took everybody out then they stopped! And haven't done anything since because there's no real reason to. We got the oil...and it was too late for that

1:12:21 Because they stopped development, we are in the process of... My thought was this by the way. I don't know this for a fact but my thought was Are we goading them into developing a nuke? Why do they say okay here's what happened to the last guy who didn't continue on the program You know We took him out and then you know it looks like it you know were big threat in the region And it's just like so the question comes to mind are weak because Are we goading Iran to develop a nuke? Do we bring that big, not a battleship but a big aircraft carrier the Straits of Hormuz and we keep talking about how they want to close the Straits of Hormuz even though it would kill them. They'd kill themselves essentially they can't afford because that's their lifeline. That's what their business is. Well I have a different take on this. And so I'm thinking that we have the carrier there just kind of you know shake him up again and they're thinking if you guys are gonna plant something

1:13:15 Screw things up and blame us. I mean it seems that all we're doing is Goading and goading and goading these guys to make some sort of a you know mistake I don't know what they're gonna do about it. I think it's a different meeting that took place Of course, you know the biggest oil companies in the world are in Iran as well. They're all there I mean the guys that sit in Zouk Switzerland It's it's Glenn core The guy who actually went to jail that President Clinton pardoned Mark Rich for trading with Iran Oil specifically I think that they all sat down and had one of their meet Skype a Skype meeting and

1:13:53 And, uh... Hey! Namah dinna jabba dab. Listen man we gotta get the price of oil up more this is not good I'll tell you what we'll wheel the Eisenhower into the Straits of Hormuz and then do some stuff and whatever and then you should come to New York and talk at the UN again We will make everyone afraid we will call our boys over there CNN or Fox And we'll have him talk about how this worry about the Strait of Hormuz is making the oil go up, which is now happening. You see continuously on television

1:14:29 Unrest in the Strait of Hormuz is resulting in the dollar price per barrel of oil rising rapidly. Yeah, it's got a selling opportunity coming your way here's the clip discussion on that I ran Straits of Hormuz and then something stands out in this little commentary. As they announced it then their commander of the army said that we don't think they would do that And anyway, I mean they can't risk closing the Hormuz, the Strait of Hormuz because their oil exports go to the strait and they need revenue. So they'd be cutting off their nose to spike their face? That's right! They likened it to drinking a glass of water we could close the Straits of Hormuz as easy as we could drink a glass of water in reality would be like drinking a glass of gasoline

1:15:18 And I think the logic of closing the strait of Hormuz for Iran is like the logic of conducting a suicide bombing. They would hurt others, but they would hurt themselves the most and they will also be hurting their chief commercial and strategic patron which is China So I agree with Hylem. China, the number one buyer of Korean crap? Exactly! It's mostly bluster. I'm telling you John this is bullcrap. This whole thing they're all in cahoots we were made to believe that they hate us and we hate them and all these douchebag candidates... I'm not going argue at this point but when China is involved we're always doing what we can to get them out Well yeah their Chiners damn them

1:16:00 We don't want the Chinas. meetings a subcommittee this guy Kuhn one of the representatives is the chairman of this Subcommittee on Africa. Mm-hmm and they bring up some very intercourse we've talked about this what five years ago Yeah, on the show what the Chinese are up to and I just thought this was he brought he brought all Africa They've got Millions of Chinese they're working away building infrastructure I thought this little the summary that he gave her right here on this subcommittee and on China it says diner. Um, I thought was a pretty good wrap-up of what we were doing and what the Chinese are doing And why we're gonna get screwed in this deal if we don't do change our strategies African officials and governments is significantly weakened when those regimes can simply turn to China for support with essentially no values strings attached

1:17:03 If there is one message I wish to convey in this hearing, it's that the long-term American objective of promoting open societies in Africa – countries that embrace transparency and democracy, respect the environment and protect human rights – is being challenged in some ways by China's approach to Africa. By offering an alternative source of investment and development, China offers African regimes economic opportunity at times at the expense of government reform and in a manner that may not directly benefit the average African. This highlights a second key distinction. In my view, the U.S. government has been investing in the people of Africa while the Chinese government has been investing in the infrastructure of Africa. It's tough to say precisely given a real lack of transparency but experts estimate roughly 70% of Chinese assistance to Africa comes from the form of financing for roads, stadiums and government buildings often built with Chinese materials and often by Chinese laborers

1:17:57 China is rarely transferring significant technology to Africa nor employing many Africans. In contrast, more than 70% as this chart shows of US government spending is directed toward investment in the African people primarily through health programs to combat HIV AIDS malaria tuberculosis and other diseases So I'm thinking isn't this kind of interesting that our foreign policy when it comes to Africa is not really following our own advice to ourselves which is let's build, let's start investment. Let's you know just push free enterprise that start businesses. Let's do top-down stuff instead it's a pure socialist let's give them money to keep them alive as best we can with vaccines and malaria and all kinds of pharmaceuticals but do nothing for the people as a whole. But that's obvious the strategy is clear

1:18:49 Keep them alive so the Chiners can keep them at work and then once the work is done, THEN we go in. Thanks China! Well the joke of that analysis as he said in here is that Africans aren't being put to work it's the Chinese who are building this stuff and they bring all these Chinese and their turning Africa into a colony. Hmm... well than maybe give them vaccines with time bomb mechanism in it until they'll die I mean, I don't have no belief whatsoever that we're doing anything with an actual true heart to these people. I can find the whole thing to be distressing. Hey Africa you're screwed. You're screwed guess what? Well we do have that thing going on in Uganda but well let's think about this for a second so Bill Clinton of course along with Bill Gates they are trying to keep the Africans alive and just work through this for a second So we know the Chinas are building everything hmm

1:19:49 Well, maybe they're taking credit for it. So everything the roads are Chinese the stadiums are Chinese You know this maybe that way we were just keeping them alive so we can arm them when it's time to kick the Chinas out I don't know all I knows We're keeping him alive and the Chinese are building stuff So there's something wrong with this picture hmm and the Chinese are screwing him with him They don't care about you if there is a onerous ogre regime? You know that has no respect for human rights the Chinese don't care They're just building stuff. Roads, mostly roads to get into the you know so they can get their mineral resources out. Yep that's all they do there was a great report moving to my favorite pet peeve Haiti and I tweeted this link and a lot of people really enjoyed it its a report written by Bill Quigley and Amber Ramanouskas

1:20:44 It's on commondreams.org, which I'm not too familiar with but the title of it is seven places where earthquake money did and did not go and they really break it down so beautifully and I'm not gonna read all seven obviously But I'll just read the headlines basically And they have it all broken down that got all the backup material So here's the first one. The largest single recipient of US earthquake money was the US government. See, we paid ourselves back when we sent 5,000 troops in? Well, we paid ourselves $379 million of your donations, your ten dollars you texted. Oh really! You're telling me that they watched that aid for Haiti and Reese Witherspoon comes on says oh hi. George Clooney is there he's making a big deal

1:21:41 And it's basically went back to our own government $379 million worth. So what you're telling me... Oh, it gets a little worse $1.6 billion allocated for relief was spent in the following manner, this is according to the August 2010 report for the US Congressional Research Office. $655 million was reimbursed to the Department of Defense. That's what they already got through under 79 million! No this in total that was just for the 5,000 troops they had people back at home answering phones and sending emails 220 million went to the Department of Health and Human Services to provide grants to individual US states to cover services for Haitian evacuees. That's disgusting 350 million went to USAID disaster assistance, USAID our buddies 150 million to the U.S. Department of Agriculture for emergency food assistance I don't know man i didn't see people eat no hamburgers I saw people eating mud cakes

1:22:41 and $15 million to the Department of Homeland Security for immigration fees. Now, the same happened in the international assistance. The UN Special Envoy for Haiti that would be Bill Clinton reported that of the 2.4 billion in humanitarian funding 34% was provided back to the donors own civil and military entities for disaster response So that's like 700 million more went back to these countries. 28% was given to UN agencies and NGOs for specific UN projects, 26% was given to private contractors and other NGOs 6% was provided as in-kind services and 5% to the International and National Red Cross Societies 1% went to the government of Haiti

1:23:39 Four-tenths of 1% went to the Haitian NGOs. It's just it's a good one This article is fantastic There was specific thing in here about Clinton looking it up you can people can look at everybody typing and Bill Quigley common dreams And you'll find also on the show notes, of course at 371 dot na show notes calm I think that was kind of cool was about the money that Clinton and Bush raised Presidents George W. Bush and Bill Clinton announced a fundraising venture for Haiti on January 16th, as of October 11th the fund had received 54 million dollars in donations just send us your cash wait hold on a second we just need cash I know a lot of people want to send blankets or water just send your cash it has partnered with several Haitian an international organizations

1:24:32 Though most of its work appears to be admirable, it has only donated $2 million to the construction of Haiti and 29 million to a for-profit luxury hotel. Which is what we predicted! We predicted Clinton would build a great hotel for himself and there it is almost half of the money went to build a hotel Well, actually you read that wrong. Oh I did it donated two million so far to the construction of the 20-mind It doesn't say so far what says it is donated? I mean, I'm sorry your right indicates so far. I'm sorry You're right But that doesn't mean more and it's probably you don't give them all the money at once So it's just a construction project

1:25:23 And I'm sure that they're probably still holding out for the name of the place. It's got to be the Bill Clinton Marriott. It wouldn't have to be the Bill Clinton Marriott, it would have to be something like The Bill Clinton Luxury Suites by Marriott maybe? Bill and Hillary luxury suites by Marriott But here is the smoking gun Less than a month after the quake hit, U.S. Ambassador Kenneth Merton sent a cable titled QUOTE THE GOLD RUSH IS ON as part of his situation report to Washington. Literally the guy sent an email, a cable saying the gold rush is on get on in everybody! Well no wonder they don't like these wiki leaks. Yeah of course but what an idiot to say- Well he didn't expect to get busted? Whoa this is a scandal it's a huge scandal

1:26:26 This article is, you know this is not a slouch of a writer by the way it's a professor of law at Loyola. He has a real guy right? Yeah he's not some hack I mean, maybe a hack but he's still not a hack writer. This is this is a scandal as far as I'm concerned the gold rushes on... The gold rushes on? I never heard about this one! And I didn't know they were giving you so all the people all these I don't want to call them idiots but you called it the day it happened Don't send your money to these organizations don't text $10 because there's no going to Haiti and his not only that was going to the US military This is a new trick

1:27:02 For collecting money. I mean, you know doing poppy fields was one way of getting there balancing the books But this is even better shyster show up and take advantage of people's goodwill and generosity You are what you say biatch? Horrible horrible people that's it's so disgusting And it really just really bad and this is why isn't this not front page news everywhere You really after five and a half years you're asking me this question I'm asking it as a rhetorical question for the audience. You need to say why? Don't ask me any your screwed Your screwed dude all right, I want to get in I Didn't write it down. I made a mistake and out writing down your tombstone thing but oh sheer

1:27:59 magnificence? Sure. Sheer professional magnificence. Sheer professional magnificence. Thank you, that's very important but I but you know I'm not gonna be buried Mickey and Christina have express instructions to burn me and smoke me Yeah, brother. You and Keith Richards No he did the tattoo thing no I smoked his dad no I think he Snorted him I think you smell a way may have started it's I'm not into the cocaine stuff The weed is okay but not the cocaines that's my good no shoot me up either Attentive Noah Jenna producer brought the following National treasure NPR report to my attention

1:28:47 And we have a long time asserted that the public, so-called public media which by all reports only receives 1% of their funding is from the United States government and they'll soon be zero. Who cares? One percent is a rounding error. Yeah who cares! The rest is supposed to become from underwriters Yeah, big corporations or advertisers or whatever you want to call them. This would be the relevant clip. Okay moving on to money how are NPR's corporate underwriting revenues holding up in the recession and what about foundation grants? Two different stories

1:29:25 Underwriting is down. It's down for everybody I mean this is the area that is most down for us, it's in sponsorship underwriting advertising call it whatever you want Yeah call it whatever you want so we'll just call it advertising for all intents and purposes now when you want to get in a big advertiser Do you know who the biggest advertisers are these days? Pharmaceutical companies and related companies. Turns out that we also have big hospitals are now the big, big sponsors because it's a money making enterprise. Just look at your bills sicknesses is money in the bank sicknesses money in the back so when you are taking advertising

1:30:13 From these and of course it sounds good to say you know this This program is underwritten by and then we'll so what should we say shall. We say the voice of terror The voice of treason So I thought first, I was going to disregard this because it would be part of On the Media which is essentially NPR reporting about media and it would have been okay to do what they did but its not. It's a report that aired on the Morning Edition? What's the name of that show they have? The morning edition. In the morning edition, whatever? In the morning edition. Listen to how they blatantly now are saying that they are taking advertising from the pharmaceutical industrial complex. The year that just ended hospitals stepped up their spending on advertising Blake Farmer a member station... Remember he's saying advertising. WPLN reports that academic medical centers are some of the latest airing commercials coast-to-coast

1:31:12 The biggest spenders on advertising are also, not surprisingly the household names. Mayo Clinic, Mount Sinai and New York Presbyterian led the way for the first half of 2011 Overall hospitals shelled out 20% more during that period than in the prior year according to the research firm Kantar Media One of the newcomers trying its luck on the national stage is Vanderbilt University Medical Center. And the most amazing part... So here they're just airing a commercial Is that the most amazing part is yet to come That's the promise of discovery In the last year, The Nashville-based teaching hospital bought Ad Time on Ad Time CNN Fox News and NPR so wait a minute did he just say they bought ad time on NPR? Did he really say that

1:31:59 Yeah, that's what he said Jill Austin is Vanderbilt's chief marketing officer. We think of it almost as a service... This is what you do by the way, when you score a new advertiser You let the Chief Marketing Officer come on in an advertorial! Yeah yeah bring him on give him some extra bonuses. A little extra juice. So when you advertise on NPR we're gonna let you kick off the campaign with an advertarial that will do our In The Morning Edition report which is really popular. ...to get the word out The Vanderbilt ads primarily focus on treatments for cancer and heart disease that are based on... And we'll make sure we run down everything you do. We'll let, let you know what you primarily focus on so people are really into the ad campaign before it kicks in with the advertising. ...on an individual's DNA but Austin says luring patients hasn't been the primary goal. Ultimately it helps us attract

1:32:51 students to Vanderbilt, faculty and staff. We ourselves are proud of the work that we do." Now we'll let you talk about why he really advertised it but just to balance it out a little bit we've got to let one of our shill guys in well it will only be like five seconds I promise. So its really focused in that direction Despite what some institutions say, Joel English of the Milwaukee-based marketing firm BVK... By the way we'll grab some guy from some marketing thing no one's ever heard of and no one gives a crap about. Just some non-descript name. ...says that thrust of national marketing isn't recruiting or even fundraising There are ancillary benefits to effective regional or national campaigns That said

1:33:33 during a time in healthcare where dollars are precious. I don't believe those would be the key reasons for a national campaign. I think the key reason is to attract more patients." Several teaching hospitals have tried raising their national profiles in recent years, The University of Pittsburgh Medical Center launched a multi-million dollar campaign in 2005... "...of which we got lots of money!" The University of Michigan Health System has been on NPR and bought ads in the New York Times Sunday Magazine English says a lot of the impetus is shrinking Medicare and Medicaid reimbursements, which put particular squeeze on teaching hospitals. So now I'm going to shuttle ahead in this report to the very end because that's where it gets interesting yet again. But Gelb says as much as anything, the institution wants its name in front of physicians

1:34:22 who ultimately make the referrals. The goals vary, Gelb says and most are hard to measure. You can't necessarily quantify it hey 56 patients came in last year but you can say the difference from before to after is significantly positive This is where we say you know we don't know where half of your advertising dollars will go on NPR but we know half that will be working or isn't For the latest to broaden its horizons Vanderbilt reports a statistically significant change

1:35:14 However, the University of Michigan health system wasn't exactly thrilled with the results of its national ads. A spokesman says it recently moved its national marketing away from pricey traditional media and to the web instead. So I'm like well that's interesting why would they say at the very end that Michigan is moving away to the web? So all I did is listen to the past week of NPR shows. After high school, he was accepted into the University of Michigan. But the notion... Okay and there's number one. Number two? I wanted to find out where the new technology is being developed to make gas engines more efficient so i went on a tour of an engine lab with professor Anna Stephanopoulou

1:36:11 She's the director of the Automotive Research Center at the University of Michigan. And then we have number three... Rich Rodriguez, recently fired as the University of Michigan football coach decided to clear out his closet everything related to the Wolverines and donate it all to the Wayne-Michigan Salvation Army 432 items most which will be auctioned tomorrow including Michigan jackets shirts hand towels and this big ticket item says Major John Aaron of the Salvation Army So we're really sorry the guy got fired, but don't worry. We'll make it up with some cool story about all the shit you're selling NPR is a compromised rotten organization Unfortunately they're making a lot of money yeah well You know the that's what you do I mean? That's what people tend to do they compromise their principles which we haven't done and

1:37:03 And, uh... they make a lot of money. That's the way it works. It's the way the system is and that's why the public gets short-sheeted on this whole thing They don't get to find out about these bills you ran into a few minutes ago Or even these organizations don't talk about the National Defense Act which has this onerous turning the whole country into a military state and then of course that bill you mentioned which can take any citizen, some guy with grudge against his local bank and yells at a teller next thing you know he's expatriate is not even a citizen anymore thrown in the gitmo doesn't need to trial none this is discussed why would it be? Could you imagine going into the bank saying I'm calling for a teller ban. What!

1:37:47 He said Taliban. I heard him say it! Donating is loving We only have eight donors and they're $50 or more. Apparently there's no love in the world. The donation is loving, it's not that... Bull crap! It's bull crap. Not really. But we do have one I want to talk about before we get out of the segment and I'll talk about it after I mention these guys which

1:38:24 First of all we got one two three four one two four five six some are mr.. Three the Norwegian Regis thin bearish is a notorious listener of his show best podcast in the universe and sends us a smiley face from Norway he's in Kovik upland I'm guessing James Jasmine, I'm sorry Jasmine Brooks and Townsend Massachusetts 55 double niggles on the dime. Hi John and Adam, the clip show was phenomenal so I figured it's time to show my appreciation of your hard work by finally donating could you send some karma to my boyfriend Brian Noe?

1:39:01 He turned me on to the best podcast in the universe two years ago and he's an amazing guy. What better way to show my love than give him some no agenda karma? 212 is here, we'll need a bit of it to make it out alive. Oh that's so nice thank you for all you do guys Here ya go! That's a cute gift absolutely You've got karma Is that the same Brian Noy that worked for Mevio? Um...that could be There's two It could be. Wait a minute, how's it spelled? Yeah I think it is! He would listen to the show... well that means we have of all employees at that company we have three listeners. S Russell Williams Boise Idaho double nickels on the dime doing my own version of donating matching as I also gave double nickels on the dime to Ron Paul

1:39:51 Viva la revolution! That can't tell who get you thrown in Gitmo my friend. Scott Olson, San Diego California double nickels... I'd like to see him pick up Ron Paul and put him in Gitmo. San Diego California double nickels on a dime happy 2012 guys give me some New Year's karma and keep up the good work all right absolutely happy that handed out when you deserve it You've got karma Scott, Rezepka in Naperville Illinois $52.29 Nicholas Wallace in Toledo Ohio $50 need some new house karma because we found some water and our breaker box and a new house my wife and I bought here in Nashville

1:40:33 Keep up all your hard work just getting by in the United Corporations of America. Get rid of the breaker box karma. You've got karma. Put water in the breaker box, Karma! And finally... That's it? Yeah Royce Kukami and Aliyah Hawaii $50 and no comment I do have one letter that came in that was for-and we looked this up It was Andrew Gardner He donated a couple, I think of the 20 just before our Christmas clip show. I think 12407 which is the most uninteresting number in the universe yeah in the universe so one two four oh seven he says in the morning joined the Clip Show glad I didn't have to go seven days with no agenda donating the least or the most uninteresting number in order to harness the getting laid karma

1:41:24 As well as good karma from my fight to get most sound of music. No, that's Austria. Austria I'll be listening to guys on my flight over Euro land so he sent in saying hey you missed the thing and so we looked it up it didn't come across on the spreadsheet and curiously now this is the thing that is the most interesting he sent a link where he donated, and this got me immediately suspicious. I clicked on the link and it took me to the John C. Dvorak account which by the way these things should link to The No Agenda Show not John C. Dvorak that's the old... Oh okay But no that's what the reason was because I still download that spreadsheet in Incorporated so that should have still been in there

1:42:05 Until I you know until that dwindles down to nobody. There's a lot of old subscriptions and right, right? Well those are get cancelled automatically don't worry yeah eventually so anyway I'm looking at says okay well wait a minute It says at the top because it tells you what the donations for it says Donation for the most uninterested or least interesting number in the universe 12407 that was like say it was like a title of a button What I had never created this button So I went back into the PayPal account, the John C. DeVore account to see maybe somebody came up with some scam because he got this from a Google search He searched Google for most uninteresting number or least interesting number and this Google thing came up and when it clicked on it, it went to John C. Devore company with this moniker

1:42:52 So I never created the moniker because you create your own buttons on PayPal. So, I went in there and looked up my account that had these donations and found his donation of 12407 so it did go to the right account! But how did this button magically appear? That I never designed somebody did it from outside somehow. Oh no Well, I mean it's a good thing because to me that you could also scam people. I really do recommend you go to Dvorak dot org slash NA or one of the other conduits into our regular donation pages as opposed to just some random thing from Google

1:43:31 Although I'm not complaining, but it just seemed weird to me and there's...I don't know what to make of it. I didn't know you could do that! Obviously one of our listeners agreed. Well yeah, of course you can always make a button for someone else's PayPal That's actually not a bad idea just to come up with crazy things like donate to sheer professional magnificence Ohhhh Devorah.org slash N-A-R-O-N Donating is loving, sorry So anyway, yeah. So that was a kind of unique experience going through that but I want to thank Andrew for allowing me to go on with that story so anyway, Dvorak dot org slash NA channel, Dvorak dot com slash NA noagendashow dot com, NoAgendaNation dot com check the donation buttons we'll probably...I'm gonna try and put up a whole new page for donors on the main Donate Nation page with some these things out there. I'll put the least interesting number donation on there

1:44:35 We do have an interesting, not to use the word interesting over and over but we do have an interesting date coming up. 2-1-12 is a palindrome. It's February 1st 12 2112 Oh that's a good one! That's a good one and that's coming up shortly now you know maybe we should promote that I haven't done a mailing for awhile so just say hello to everybody Matt Schauer who's a patron of the show, checked in and said I quit my job at the beginning of November. Haven't been able to find a comparable one until now Well... maybe that wasn't such a good idea

1:45:11 But you never know. I have a phone interview Friday in the morning, please give me a shot of karma for the interview once i have a job again ill be sure to finish my knighthood im only $150 away so i think we should definitely give him some karma for that. You've got Karma Thanks for the Karma he says and for making the best podcast in the universe And I want to point out the listeners who complain about the fact that this segment goes on too long, that it will always have a certain length. But not today! Today was short! Well yeah, I know by trying to pad it Yeah well good job It's your birthday, birthday

1:45:49 Only one for today, Matt Milligan congratulates his brother Jake who celebrated his birthday last Sunday on the first. Happy Birthday from all you buddies here at The No Agenda Show! No knighthoods today no dame hoods...no Well you said when we did the show on the first You know, where everyone's hungover. You said I don't think anyone is listening and I think this kind of proves it out. Yeah! So another prediction come true no one is listening. Check it off the book. The No Agenda Show Where No One Is Listening And Your Screwed Okay second half of the show great news I'm very excited about this we've had a lot of Norwegian stuff. Should be playing that sound?

1:46:39 Go on. I can't play that sound because you are the one that has the slide. I'm asking if i should play the sound? No, I think... Not flying saucers? Tens of thousands of dead herring have carpeted a stretch of coast in northern Norway but here's the crazy thing The fish appeared on New Year's Eve leading to speculation of course and other sciences in that predators might have driven a huge school ashore or they could've been washing the beach by powerful storm But here's what's crazy. They were getting ready to clean it up, which is the estimated 20 tons of dead fish... The fish disappeared. Oh bullcrap! So clearly there is a stargate in Norway Well I'm the one who makes that prediction There's a stargate with fish on the other side That's right And the stargate opened and the fish popped out then the stargate opened again and they flew back into it

1:47:40 I'm telling you now. You think I'm crazy about these stargates man, but they exist It was actually quite nice doing that with your train whistle just slide whistle at the same time kind of worked Well, I think we're done no We're not done you talking about absolutely Not so I was watching PBS and of all things they put on they put on this this guy I just find him to be a joke this Cornell West. Oh, this is the... yeah I know who you mean. That black guy with his hair every which way and a big gap tooth that he just rants He's the professor who was uh Yeah he's like crazy professor. He had the- He's like Professor Irwin Corey! He had the drinks with President Obama. He had the root beer

1:48:28 I don't know if he did or not, whatever the case was. Play Cree- this guy finally discusses success and it gets the old meme in there Apparently success is when you do work for other people for free You know on service organizations that's a way to go Oh yes! For the last 35 years we've told young people in every corner of this nation To do what? Be successful be successful be successful What does success mean? Material toys title, wealth power and being well adjusted to injustice. Well adjusted to injustice well adapted to indifference is that success? I'm old school my tradition told me to be great he or she is greatest among you has to do with the quality of your service to others and the depth of your love for other's beginning

1:49:30 with a great gift of our Jewish brothers and sisters to the world. The prophetic tradition." Then he goes off to deep end with something that doesn't make any sense at all. Can you do me a favor? Are you doing twit on Sunday it's about time for you to be on the show again, right Uh, maybe. Yeah. So at some point during the broadcast can you just say I'm old school man? Just say that even me cares just saying I'm old school man. Whenever it comes up like it's like in your about something that no one needs like Siri or some gadget you strap on that monitors your heart rate and your sleep right. You say I don't want that now I'm old school man

1:50:14 You have to say it that way too. I'm old school, man! Hey good news John we're expanding our operation Oh, who's we white man? Hey man. I'm old school man It's you and me were expanding our operation where the it's going great with a syndication of our new format Okay Wind, cruise or drone? There's been a lot of talk lately about holes in security along the border with Canada. The risk of terrorist activity across our northern border is actually higher than across our southern border. But CBC News has learned that hole has now gotten much smaller

1:51:10 Predator B's from this base in North Dakota have more than quadrupled their range and are now patrolling 1,500 kilometers right to Washington State. As well before they couldn't fly within 16 kilometers of the Canadian border Now they're cleared to fly right up to the line We have 950 nautical miles of linear border by 100 miles deep So rough math 95 thousand square miles It's not like the Predator drone has just appeared here. They were first unveiled amid much fanfare two years ago, but it's taken this long to train pilots and to prove to federal aviation authorities that they can operate safely inside civilian airspace I notice you steer away from using the term terrorist Well There are other applications for this but certainly terrorism acts comes to mind

1:52:08 So how effective has the program been in the past two years? It's a sensitive issue. Have you been involved in interceptions in the last two years not not with actual crossings and used With rest with actual investigative where you assisted but correct precipitate what happened, correct so there you go drones over Canada But we've caught no terrorists but we are tracking your ass We're assisting in investigations. Well, it's like Ron Paul says maybe just to keep us in yeah there's a lot of drone news actually freedom of information request to the CAA that's the Civil Aviation Authority and Gitmo Nation East has revealed 60 companies have been granted blanket permissions to fly unmanned drones within UK civil airspace That's great

1:53:08 So they have three types of... So Buzzkill Jr. and I are thinking about starting up a drone, independent drone operation ourselves to do traffic analysis, have the drones going up and down 80 and then around the Bay Bridge you keep them down at some low altitude because it would be the small drones with cameras and then the cameras would be streamed through the internet people could check in and because right now their competition is KGO They got one guy in a helicopter he's gotta do the whole bay area we figure we can have about 10 drones And we can cover everything instantaneously because the drones would be programmed to just go around in a certain pattern for certain bottlenecks in the area. And you know, police can use them if they need them." Well I'm very disappointed by this idea... Because where's my cut?

1:53:55 Well, am I not in the am I not a part of the new and it depends the venture can I maybe who's gonna fly me you wanted to set up an Austin branch hello any freeways got any traffic there or Hello We don't have any traffic I can fly the drones. I can flying from here oh Okay, well you'll be the head of training. Can I know? I want to be head of a flight operations okay your head That's it use your new title head hello I'm Adam curry flight of ahead of flight operations for the what's the name of the company Dvorak West Coast drone no No It's got to be Dvorak drone Dvorak Curry drones Dvorak and Dvorak drones. I don't know we will name it But first we gotta start researching these drones And which is which is

1:54:41 It's DCD, no listen for marketing purposes. Traffic drones! DCD, Dvorak Curry Drones. DCD. Yeah it's a hot name... Yeah, DCD is not bad. Dvorak Curry drones let's get somebody to get on that one and get a shot. We'll get right on that I'm sure dcd dot com is way available no DCD drone well DCD... wait a minute isn't ICANN releasing all the new top level demands? Let's make one called Dot Drone exactly we could own that we could be the registrar another side business anything please anything but what we're doing now because I'm starving over here

1:55:21 Starving to death. A couple more drone stories and I'm done with that Montana is now going to be using drones against wolves It's hard to track these wolves apparently so they're going to drone the wolfs Drone the wolves? It's one step from droning the lone wolf it's not far, it's mind conditioning Get used to people thinking drone the wolf and then it'll be drone the lone wolf before you know what its over Drone everyone same thing for The Japanese whalers Drones are now joining in the fight u.s Military technology adapted as I in the sky by eco activists in the Antarctic seas see these guys are smart because they get like all kinds of NGO money to fly their drones and let's face it It's just a model rocketry club

1:56:13 This is you guys like this is great. My hobby is now my business This is fantastic, but what a great idea What a great idea anyway that closes off our segment today for our game show I Like it DCD okay? Well we're gonna work on now. That's one of our great ideas the better ideas I am the director of flight operations for DCD can have business cards and Yeah, pfft. Yeah, Vistaprint! Vistaprint... Oh wow So I do have a one little side thing just to change the subject a little bit but I do have a pet peeve you're gonna have to listen to this clip Okay This is Charles Barkley on The Jon Stewart Show Okay Pet peeve coming up Between his shoes and the floor It's very sad Who's going to be the best team this year? Who are you liking? Ah that's a great question What?!

1:57:14 Who do you like? That's a great question. How is the question, like hey Adam how are you doing today that's a great question John! Don't stop yeah I said that's all i got to say I mean people must be fed up with my complaining about this but that's not a great question it's a question he must be asked a million times what makes it great because he can answer it You've gotta have a way to finish up this great question rant Hi, well I get you did you we do the one for last week the last show that had a great question rant It's always the same. Yeah, it's all but you need to wrap it up You need to write about a great question Just play the jingle just say is the wrap-up is that's not a great question dude That's not a great question John C Devorah Okay, that's my cue from now on okay, then

1:58:14 Alright, I got a couple of things that are important to look forward to. Big date January 1st... February 2nd. Yet again the General Attorney General Eric Holder better known as The General because that's how he is addressed now in our militarized state will now appear once again for the sixth time before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee to answer further questions about the Justice Department's handling of Operation Fast and Furious. Now, interesting right along those lines Lori Robinson assistant to the general and responsible for disseminating billions of dollars of stimulus funds has abruptly resigned from the Department of Justice

1:59:01 Oh, he's heading to Canada. Oops! Yep, Lori is out this means... What's her name again? Let me do the book of knowledge. Lori Robinson Assistant Attorney General for the Division of the Justice Department that oversees juvenile justice Interesting she must be doing more She leads the Office of Justice Programs there you go which is the main conduit of federal justice funds so she's a much-she's the bag lady If you look her up, Lori Robinson Wikipedia it should say bag lady. She's not even yet does I don't see a wikipedia entry for now? She's one of these kind of pathetic is in one of these silent ones Everyone needs to have a wikipedia entry or there don't exist they don't exist anymore So here's something crazy

1:59:54 Yesterday. There she is, she's in the Wikipedia and she's not hot Oh wait a minute this is Major General Lori Robinson who was in the Air Force Do we call her major? She's an Air Force Major General who's Director of Legislative Liaison Office and Secretary of the Air Force so there's a bunch of Lori Robinsons that's the problem That's even worse They're obfuscated by the sheer number of them It's a cult I tell ya Lori Robinson didn't she used to host a show, a video show on USA Network? Seriously. Hold on. Maybe. Lori Robins- I'm telling you she was uh let me see... Lori Robinson How do you spell LORI? M A U R I E That's the way i've got it this other one is spelled lori with a L O R I Oh Here she is oh god She looks like a dingbat

2:00:56 Seriously, she's got this weird hairdo and a goofball smile and she just looks like a dingbat. Her quitting has nothing to do with anything I can assure you of. Alright alright we'll see if it comes up you know i will be watching so you don't have too. So Wednesday morning we woke up to her She is Magna Cum Laude a graduate from Brown University and member of Phi Beta Kappa Just take a look at her What do you mean? She's the perfect bag lady Well maybe Alright, go on. So Wednesday morning we wake up now this was after I was up until 2 you know watching our prediction come true and uh And you know Austin is it's beautiful here the sky is blue and what are you doing?

2:01:47 I'm leaning back and reading the New York Times. That's so rude! Is this what you're gonna do in board meetings of the DCD? This is what i do in board meetings Yeah but this is a show, I need you to pay attention Okay...I'm paying attention So we wake up and Mickey says oh my goodness chemtrails And I look out and sure enough I've been here five weeks have not seen a single persistent jet con trail And there's one that's like clear as day. You took photos? Well, of course I haven't published them because it's always the same pictures but and then i read The Texas Department of State Health Services will be dropping vaccines from the air on Wednesday What?! It is part of the annual effort to protect people and livestock from rabies

2:02:45 They'll be dropping about 1.8 million doses of the rabies vaccine over the next month! The vaccines are enclosed in small packets dipped in fish oil and coated with fish meal crumbles. The baits don't pose a risk to humans, but organizers say you should avoid them because animals are less likely to eat the bait if a human has been messing around with it. So pack it, schmack it They're just... KENTRAILS dropping vaccines from the air. That's crazy! That can't be okay? I've never heard of such a thing. Of course not

2:03:28 Because that would give credence to the whole persistent jet contrails thing. To me, that's disturbing. This is a separate thing. Look here Ohio distributes raccoon vaccines from the air so this has been going on nobody's been talking about it in fact it took us forever to pick it up here it is there's a picture of it beginning last month ohio was dropping 762 000 of these raccoon rabies vaccines over 14 counties by Aaron it's a little green thing you have a picture of yours Not online, but yeah. Okay it's a little green cube with the gobba goo in the middle and says The Ohio Department has become so concerned about the potential exposure of residents to rabbit animals that they began a massive campaign To distribute rabies vaccines by air Hmm... So you can-so the rabies vaccine is available as an oral Vaccine? Is that what they're telling me? I guess so

2:04:22 It's contained in a fish meal that attracts raccoons. Each piece of fish meal is about the size of a packet of ketchup beginning last month, the state is in the process of... Ketchup? Yeah, ketchup packets. It's gonna kill them with high fructose corn syrup! Apparently. We'll see whether the unprecedented air drop will be successful or not. This is just crazy This is weirded stories even weirder says they're talking about Michigan to Michigan has not yet had any confirmed cases of rabid raccoons in 2011 but that doesn't mean we were lacking in other rabbit animals like humans Talia's rabid animals includes 45 bats which won't eat this stuff. I'm sure oh, they're not stupid bad response one fox and a woodchuck and One dog from foaming at the mouth huh?

2:05:12 This is crazy. That's pretty funny. We should not dream up this one, we got to figure out who what companies behind it because they sold somebody a bill of goods yeah I'm telling you this doesn't even look right listen this could be a spin-off for the seat for the DCD we could uh we could drop vaccine packets from our drones yep we have to get bigger drones for that i think you need big but yet there at least a big you know C140 or something and throw I do want to say a few things about Euroland since it's kind of gone quiet but things are shuffling, things are moving. Looks like Goldman Sachs is making some moves you know the there were three new members to be appointed to the European Central Bank board and of course the Germans wanted a German in there not so they should have a German in there well here's who got appointed

2:06:13 So far they've been French, German and Belgian. Draghi that's Super Mario has replaced the two Germans with one which is pissing off the Germans to no end so they got Jürgen Stark out and they put in the Belgian Peter Pratt P-R-A-E-T who whose campaign was supported by Draghi consistently so there are some moves there to shut the Germans up I think is just of note. Ireland and Portugal have gone to the EFSF now to be the ESM which is that new European Stability Movement whatever management, which is the one that has open-ended and everyone has to contribute to they have taken 3 billion euros to keep afloat And in Germany Just like we talked about in Greece

2:07:21 Now, everywhere in Germany it's cropping up. You can now also pay with Deutschmarks! And there is a huge rumor going around the internet and my son knows about it and I saw on the Economist, I'll read from the comment, they're actually unsubstantiated rumors that the German central bank is actually printing New currency as a precautionary measure. Yeah, this has been this has been a rumor for a couple months actually yeah It started in November I don't know how much credence I can give that they're supposedly doing it from a banknote company in the UK No, it seemed to me that someone would have leaked one of these bills Oh Watch them crop up Photoshop jobs everywhere well yeah

2:08:09 Now this other thing that I found interesting, which is I think Gitmo Nation Lowlands will be one of the first to implement this is the SEPA. SEPA the single euro payments area have you been following this? Yeah a little bit So the single euro payments area The idea Is that you can now transfer it's you know as basically we have what do we have IBAN and stuff like that There's all these different Networks what's the other one that we use here I can't remember. Well, there's all these ways of transferring money So it is basically it's a computer network a computer system which all of the banks and vendors and the government star Sorry like star if you look on the back of your debit card or your credit card It has a bunch of the networks on it right so SEPA

2:08:59 Will enable and this is how it's being sold. Of course will enable Europeans to transfer money to anyone in any euro Area without an additional fee, you know, so have your regular bank fee In fact one of the stipulations is if the fee cannot be more than it is today But it's all going to run through The central command and Central Command, of course will know exactly what you're doing because now the the mothership owns the network But what I found interesting is an undiscussed point, because this is being introduced February 1st in Gitmo Nation Lowlands. Everyone's going to be using the single euro payment area network but there are a lot of consumers who were worried about this so-called direct debit portion of the network and the direct debit portion enables

2:09:56 entities, banks or in fact governments to direct debit your account. IE don't worry about your taxes we'll just take that right out of you will just suck it right out of your bank account And this is really being suppressed, this information. Because of course the fact that you're now connected to the government who can now suck the money out of your account because you're essentially going to have to sign a direct debit agreement with your government local or Brussels or both And your taxes will be taken care of automatically, no worries. Don't worry we'll do all that for you. No they'l make it a good thing. That way... look here's how it is going to work normally you're paying your tax and go through all this process You are probably screwing up the taxes, you are paying too much Let us make the calculation for you We will make sure that its right The advertising campaign for long time for Dutch Internal Revenue Service

2:10:58 Who are doing everything online now has been a rough translation. We can't make it more fun we can make it easier Bastards yeah, and boohoo whoo hello? Hello check whoa yeah? Yeah? You're fine. I'm not what happened Now I blew up what do you mean you blew up my blue up oh Yeah, did the recording stop? No no no my microphone just turned off for some reason. Anyway boo-hoo to Mother Jones! Did you see this hit piece that they published on Ron Paul

2:11:42 I missed it. Oh my goodness! Actually, I've been having trouble watching any of the hit jobs There was always watching something with Chris Wallace going after Ron Paul for some quotes in a book he wrote in 1980 and the quotes are taken out of context and there's just his nitpick And I just can't watch this stuff anymore It's just like...it's embarrassing Well-and so annoying that it's like you know why don't you listen what the guy has to say? You know maybe look into that defense authorization bill rather than you know pounding Ron Paul for something that he wrote in a book 20 years ago. The title of the article in Mother Jones written by Kevin Drum, Kevin Drone? Kevin drum oh crackpots do not make good messengers you can imagine this caught my eye yeah

2:12:34 So that was about you here it is so then Ron Paul should we lefties be happy he's in the presidential race Giving non interventionism a voice even if he has other beliefs We find less agreeable shouldn't we'd be happy that his non mainstream positions are finally getting a public hearing this is depressingly common view for example Can we talk? Ron Paul is not a charming oddball with a few peculiar notions. He's not merely out of the mainstream, Ron Paul is a full-bore crank! In fact he's practically the dictionary definition of crank—a person who has a single obsessive all encompassing idea for how the world should work and is utterly blinded to the value of any competing ideas or competing interests."

2:13:17 Wow, they started off with a dictionary definition that's pretty harsh. And it just goes on and on... It's like this isn't the biography of a person who was with one or two unusual hobby horses! It's not something you can pretend doesn't matter. This is grade A crankery, and all by itself was a reason enough to want nothing to do with Ron Paul! But of course that's not all as we've all known for the past four years You can layer on top of this Paul's now infamous newsletters in which he condoned a political strategy consistently designed to appeal to the worst strains of American homophobia racial paranoia militia hucksterism and new world order

2:13:56 fear-mongering and on top of that you can layer on the fact that Paul is plainly lying about these newsletters and his role in them. It just goes on, and on, and on... Mother Jones should be ashamed! He's plainly lying so he has proof for this? He's a dick! I don't know with this guy. Does he have proof let me see now he doesn't. Of course not. Even if you're a hardcore non interventionist yourself you probably think World War II was a war worth fighting but NOT RON PAUL!!! It's not going to work. There is some background on the guy according to Kevin Drumm? Yeah, he is a cat blogger known for pioneering the trend of blogging about his cat. He is a cat blogger? Yeah, he is major cat blogger and also big into peak oil theory issues. Liberal blog cow pun who is liberal

2:14:53 He apparently's intellectual heroes were Franklin Roosevelt, major intellectual. Isaac Newton John Maynard Keynes Edward R Murrow another you know intellectual television performer and Charles Darwin he also considers Ben Franklin an all-time favorite political hero mm-hmm he was we was with Koufax image projects for nine products for nine years as the VP of marketing He's a pussy blogger is what you're saying. And he's a cat blogger and the drum originally supported the 2003 Iraq war So I mean this guy's a loser. No, he's a douchebag All right so is Bob Schieffer by the way here's a little opening salvo. Oh Bob Schieffer is terrible Here's a little salvo he fired at Rand Paul Let me ask you this. Your father is a very polite and decent man He's very nice to deal with Everybody seems to like him But I don't know a single impartial observer who thinks that he could wind up

2:15:54 getting the nomination, let alone winning in a general election. Does he think he could win? He doesn't know a single solitary... The science is in! The science is in! No everybody agrees there's not a single impartial observer. Not one person. Not one single one Well, he's probably been hanging out with Al Gore too much. I was switching back and forth. I was watching the coverage so we had CNN you had MSNBC with Rahul and Who gave up after like one o'clock? She just went home and then brought the guy with the glasses in her protege We had Fox and we also had Current and current TV head chunk on what's his name chunk chink chunk

2:16:48 Oh that guy, Chunk. I call him Chunk. Whatever his name is. And interesting...I guess the honeymoon is over for uh what's his name? Olbermann. Yeah there was a big front page of the Businessday New York Times this morning. Olbermann in a clash at new job! Well he got kicked out because Olbermann was not there to analyze the caucus instead owner station owner Al Gore was sitting down And would you like to hear his views on Ron Paul? Oh, I'd love to. Well he has a ceiling except in fantasy land

2:17:33 I mean, really. But you're the one who said he had a ceiling! He does have a ceiling! Yeah yeah yeah...he does not have a ceiling in fantasy land but in the real world look when people take a look at his actual positions when Republicans take a look his actual positions. I mean, come on! What do you think is the style thing? The fact that he's... No, no, there is an enormous amount of frustration and I think that you saw from different points on the spectrum Occupy Wall Street, Tea Party on their right a lot of people getting very frustrated saying look this system is not working. That congress has nine percent approval rating you know as many people have noted what are the other ninety one percent thinking? I mean what are those nine percent thinking

2:18:21 So that all is part of a general attitude that you know, let's just play 52 card pickup Let's just up in things and and do something radically different. And I think that he does culturally psychologically tap into that but at some point when people You know it look seriously at What his positions are, I mean getting rid of the Federal Reserve. Uh...I mean look the wars are enormously unpopular but bringing all American troops on no matter what the dangerous situations are? It's silly. Go screw a masseuse you douche! This is interesting

2:19:09 I didn't realize that David Borman had taken over the operations there. Who's David? He was one of... David Borman was the guy who uh, was a consultant at-I know him he's like a- Oh really? I haven't been to his house or anything like that Can we get a show there? I don't know if- Hey, Chunk. We're coming after you! He was at Tech TV for a while and they brought him in as a consultant and then he... Another success story. No he was at MSNBC. He's the one I think who brought in Soledad O'Brien into the scheme of things. And then it became the head of CNN

2:19:48 I don't know what happened to him until i just read this article that he's now running current which and then the ownership is interesting apparently Al Gore it's like, I didn't know this either which is uh... Al Gore the channel which is privately held by Al Gore and others and Leonard Perkins Yeah. Uh-huh. It's estimated to have made about 115 million in revenue in 2011, according to research from SNL Kagan with a cash flow margin of 22.7 percent so they're making money? What?! This is much more than MSNBC, a unit of NBC Universal has made 400 million revenue with the cash flow margin 45% Well... this is much bigger Well if you look at also No no MSNBC twice as big I was gonna say Yes sorry I'm not reading it right They make their money from cable subs

2:20:40 companies they bought a company that had all these cable subs so they make their main money and the rest of it is by firing overman because you know they can't even afford his two hundred thousand dollars here and whatever they were paying overmans beside you know he apparently wanted to do the election coverage but they said no you didn't for it because I guess a long time ago and so he got into a beef because they wouldn't let him on the election coverage in the last minute which they should have been able to do, it seems to me. They had some other congresswoman on I think or ex-congressman. Whatever they came with...I still can't imagine them doing $110 million dollars But they have Chunk anchoring the thing that's no good And they were doing it on The Chunk set

2:21:21 They didn't even have like a fly and they had CNN on the monitors in the background. That's I mean talk about a low-grade operation that's like us Worse No, not much worse not much of the New York Times in the background All right So the only other thing that's interesting is going on there were kind of tracking is in the category if we can't wait where President Obama has gone ahead and just said, you know what? Screw Congress. Screw the Senate I don't care about these guys. I don't need senatorial approval to appoint my terrorist guy as the head of financial consumer affairs. I'm just appointing him and this is creating quite a hubbub You follow this

2:22:06 No, I haven't. Give me the briefing. Okay so you remember the guy that the president pushed forward to run the consumer... Oh yeah right he did put him through it in the dead of night on a technicality and by the way the question remains in my mind is why does they just do everything like this? Well he's going to here's a question from This is scripted by the way, this is Spokeshole Carney's little show and he has a woman from... I recognize her. The old bat. I forget her name. Scripted question! We can't wait! Sorry that was the jingle here's the scripted question You know could you one domestic one international please? On the domestic question

2:22:51 Could you give us a little bit more clarity on this with or without Congress? Because it's being interpreted by some. Gingrich, for example... As virtually a monarchy, the president says you know can't work with Congress I'll do it myself and there's a lot of criticism could it if you can explain exactly what the idea that is and whether it could backfire. Whether he would look as if he is trying to just ignore Congress and then we can get into the international community. Sure now I appreciate the question because uh...we agreed you would ask so I could bring this up So what happened

2:23:28 There is a technicality that, and by the way this is the guy who wrote the book on financial terrorism. That economics bad economics leads to lone wolf terrorists remember we discussed his book? Oh yeah in detail Yeah this is a lone wolf terrorist guy And so he's now been put in and of course the Senate is having nothing to do with it. They don't want this guy or whatever, but the technicality is apparently the president can invoke his executive power if the senate is on recess

2:24:04 And the Senate is technically not in recess because every single day I watch it. They go and say they do the Pledge of Allegiance, they say hey what are we doing? Doing nothing. See you tomorrow bye! So they're technically still in recess, which of course is a trick. No not in recess I mean technically not in recess even though they are because everyone's you know partying and out in the St Barts whatever uh so the president says you know that's just a technical trick I'm making this guy the head of consumer affairs because he's a lone wolf terrorist watch guy and we've got to have that guy in there so here's Carney explaining it We have made clear and the President has made clear for a long time now

2:24:43 He will do whatever he can to help the economy, to help it grow, to help it create jobs and protect the middle class. And when Congress refuses to act, when Republicans choose the path of obstruction rather than cooperation then the President is not going sit here. Gridlock in Washington is not an excuse for inaction. He's going take actions that he can take using his executive authority uh... to help the cause here. To help The Cause? Americans deal with this challenging economy and they can be small, medium or large actions. And they don't have to be just executive authority actions they can be things that we do working with the private sector so you know it's he'll pursue all tracks That's right! Hail The King So I don't think people are going take this lying down I don't think they like that he did this Well if their not technically in recess which is what you claim

2:25:39 then he can't do it. It's illegal. So it'll come down to a showdown at the OK Corral? That's right, soon to be broadcast live on the DCD Drone Network! I don't see how Congress can do much about it if they just change his name to Czar and he's done Because they don't have to approve that. That's why you can name all these czars, it's way too Armenian. Yeah he can put an executive order out that from now on you shall address me and the first lady as your excellency? Yeah I could do that...I think you should! Let's get it over with! All right. Hare Obama Please consider us for the coming show on Sunday Donating is loving and we need as much love as we can get so we can get some of our other initiatives off of the ground

2:26:30 Literally. Get him off the ground, get it? Wink wink. And a reminder that Bear Crawling Live premieres on thenoagendastream.com tonight at 930 Eastern Time A couple of new shows coming onto the stream so look forward to that and I'll go back to... well we're gonna watch the debate obviously which will be fun let's see how well we did with our positioning for our presidential X-Factor reality show See who gets voted off the island Coming to you from Camp MoFo here in Austin, Texas.
