About this episode

Facebook faces intense scrutiny following its S-1 filing as technical glitches and questionable accounting practices emerge. Mark Zuckerberg and the executive team are under fire for a Friday code push that broke the JavaScript API across millions of websites, while analysts point to misleading revenue figures bolstered by off-book infrastructure leasing and a 30% cut from Zynga. The financial complexity of Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) suggests a massive hidden tax liability that could destabilize the company’s valuation post-IPO.

In New York, the Le Roy 15 neurological cluster is officially attributed to conversion disorder by the Department of Health, though critics link the tics to the Gardasil HPV vaccine. Dr. Laszlo Mechtler and CNN medical correspondent Sanjay Gupta face allegations of conflict of interest regarding their ties to the Dent Neurological Institute. Meanwhile, Congressman Ron Paul challenged Piers Morgan on CNN, asserting that official unemployment figures are manipulated and that intelligence from Mossad and the CIA contradicts the media narrative regarding an existential nuclear threat from Iran.

President Obama utilized professional vocal coaches and techno-experts to ensure his Al Green performance at the Apollo Theater achieved viral status under the keyword cool.

CHAPTER 01 / 39 Discussion

Facebook IPO Filing, Infrastructure Costs, and Site Glitches

Facebook experienced significant technical issues after pushing code on a Friday, breaking the JavaScript API for "Like" buttons and third-party logins across millions of websites. Analysis of the Facebook S-1 filing suggests reported revenue figures are misleading, with a significant portion derived from stock sales and a 30% cut from Zynga. The company also utilizes off-book transactions for infrastructure leasing and revolving lines of credit to manage costs.

00:00 What are you doing with Arabic on your machines? Adam Curry, John C. DeVore Act. It's Sunday, February 5th, 2012. Time for your Gitmo Nation Media Assassination Episode 380. This is no agenda. Living in the margin of error here at Camp Bofo in the capital of the drone star states, Austin, Texas. In the morning everybody, I'm Adam Curry. And from Northern Silicon Valley where the motto is, I tweet, therefore I am. I'm John C. Dvorak. It's Crackpot and Buzzkill. Correcto mundo. There was an article I read the other day about that.

00:37 Actually, I tweeted it just to make it even worse. It's called like the Facebook psychology that this whole liking business that when people like or retweet, it's giving them the feeling that they've actually done something. So we're becoming a nation of likers and retweeters instead of doers. So someone says, hey man, I just went out for a great run and you go, oh, like it, yes. Now I feel like I did the run. I think that's a... Does anybody pay attention to the likes, the number of live asks before... and nobody can say, yeah. Does anyone pay attention to the like, you know, liked by, you know, number on Facebook? I don't. It broke the other day. Did you read about that? No, gosh, what happened? Well, Facebook pushed out some code on Friday, which is never a good idea, I've learned. Not before an IPO.

01:32 And like the JavaScript API broke so all these millions of sites that have like buttons didn't work. But worse, you know there's so many sites now where if you want to join the site you can make your registration through your Facebook login. That broke too. Oh good. So it's like, hello can we see the peril looming? Do you understand this is not really a good idea? No. I went through that whole Facebook filing by the way. It's all bullcrap what everyone's saying. What are they saying? I haven't paid much attention. Oh, everyone's saying, oh, they had three billion dollars in revenue. Well, let's look at it. Only 56% of that is actual revenue of which 12% comes from their 30% from their Zynga Vig. Over a billion of that revenue is from sale of stock.

CHAPTER 02 / 39 Discussion

Restricted Stock Units, Equity Compensation, and Market Makers

Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) are highlighted as a complex form of equity compensation used by companies like Facebook to pay consultants and market makers. The tax hit from these units could severely impact the company's financial standing, yet the exact liability remains unknown. This practice is described as a common strategy in public companies to manage compensation without immediate cash outlays.

rsu· restricted stock units· equity compensation· market makers· tax liability

02:25 then really oh yeah and then all their so in other words that backdoor sales of stock yeah exactly then then you have their infrastructure they lease that so that they lease their bandwidth and their and their servers and they state right in the s1 it's off book transaction so we don't know assets there we don't actually know how much they're spending on on infrastructure because it's not on the balance sheet 600 million but they have revolving lines of credit continuously so they're paying off lines of credit not the actual cost of the infrastructure. Then you read everyone, oh they do three million in advertising. No they don't. Three billion. Yeah three billion. Yeah and then there's this thing. That's what everyone says. And then there's this thing called RSUs. You know what this is? No, what? It's a form of option and throughout the whole document. SU. Yeah they state that

03:24 They don't know how many billions of dollars the actual tax hit will be to the company, but it could impact them severely. So they don't even know what their... A restricted stock unit. There you go. But if... It's a form of equity compensation. Right. So it's used as a pay, instead of paying somebody money, you give them an RSU. Yeah, which is typically given to market makers. RSUs and warrants, you know a market maker, you know someone who will then start trading the stock and then they they're they're they're employed through warrants and RSUs as public relations people and consultants. It's such a scam. And by the way, I've lived through this scam. I ran a public company so I know what it is. I know how the scams work. I should be in jail right now.

04:20 Well, for other reasons too. For more reason than one. But, uh... Huh. Yeah. Yeah, well, gee, why am I not stunned by this information? What, that everyone's reporting all this bogus information and all you had to do was read the S-1 to actually see it? That information? Well, I think once the red herring comes out, I don't think it's out yet. I think then that this will be re-evaluated. No, no way. Bullcrap. You think everyone's just gonna get the hook and they're reeling him in and that's the end of it? No one's gonna read the red herring? Correct. You know, last night... Well you are cynical. Well I'm very cynical and I'll give you a great example. In the morning by the way, John, how are you? In the morning to you Adam Curran, in the morning to all ships at sea.

Media Hoaxes and the No Agenda Stream Quorum

The program opens with a check on the live stream audience, noting over 700 participants in the chat room. A brief admission is made regarding being fooled by a media hoax that was initially mistaken for a parody. This serves as a lead-in to a broader critique of media intelligence and the susceptibility of journalists to misinformation.

05:06 boots on the ground and feet in the air. And the moon bases. And of course all the human resources. Hey citizens there in the chat room at NoahGenestream.com, NoahGenestream.net. Nice to have you all here. Let me see if we have a quorum real quickly. We have, oh nice, 728 people. Logged onto the streamer 28 people that probably aren't listening to the show and they have done us no good You screwed up man you really screwed up made a mistake And I got suckered into believing that the ad Was not anything more than a parody that I talked about and the chat room didn't stop me well Maybe I didn't see it. I'm supposed to or you I

05:46 Well, hold on a second. I was amazed too. Once in a while when you got you got suckered by a hoax? Yeah, of course everyone gets suckered once in a while, but this was... But for you that was pretty bad. Yeah, but it was funny. Still funny. Yeah, it was funny. So last night, I don't know if you saw this, so coming back to how the media... I mean, I'm convinced that the media is not necessarily evil. They're just completely stupid. Big conclusion right? Woo! Yeah. Well if you want to get off to a roaring start... Well let me rock it to you. So I'm watching Piers Morgan, very excited because Ron Paul was on Piers Morgan yesterday. Uh huh. And here's how the show opened. Ron Paul is not going to be your next president. Okay. I'm like alright.

CHAPTER 04 / 39 Discussion

Ron Paul Interview, Piers Morgan, and Unemployment Statistics

Congressman Ron Paul appeared on CNN with Piers Morgan to discuss the discrepancy between official jobless figures and economic reality. Paul argues that the 8.5% unemployment rate is "cooked" because it ignores 1.2 million people who dropped out of the workforce, suggesting a true rate closer to 11%. Reference is made to ShadowStats, which places the figure near 25% when including discouraged workers.

ron paul· piers morgan· cnn· unemployment rate· shadowstats· u6

06:38 This is awesome. This is gonna be a great show. He is not going to be your next president So why millions of young people hang on every word from a 76 year old Texas congressman? I love the old kook. Why are they listening to the old kook? It was actually a very very good interview. It's too bad no one watches this stuff, and I'm gonna play two passages Because Ron Paul lays out some things that we have spoken about so explicitly for so many years and you can just see that Piers Morgan, he does not penetrate that watermelon on his shoulders. He just does not understand what is being said. And the first thing is about the unemployment numbers.

07:24 Now we had I think going back to when I was in London John when you explained to me the first time How these unemployment numbers are basically cooked and what they don't do is count the the people who have fallen off the radar and have become Bums essentially and that's how you can manipulate these numbers. I mean, this is literally four or five years We've been talking about this, correct? Yeah, and then there are numbers, if there's two, there's three numbers you can deal with. There's the one that they keep telling us about, then there's the U6, which is an old calculation, which is closer to the truth, which is around 15.5%. And then there's the true unemployment, which is including the bums and everybody in between, that a company out of San Francisco called ShadowStats generates, and that number is closer to 25%.

08:09 So Ron Paul explains to Piers Morgan why these numbers are bogus and you can just hear him pre-programmed robot that he is just not understanding what is actually be- Are you okay? Did you just fart? Oh, I blew my nose in the direction outside the microphone. I can do it again if you want closer. Yeah, good. Do it closer. Nice. Yeah. Here, let me try it. I'm congested. There we go. That's better. Yet today we saw jobless figures which are the best since he became president. Do you give him credit for that? Do you think he's doing a good job in reducing the jobless figures or how would you

08:49 summarize your feelings. I wouldn't give them too much credit of course everybody should be pleased that there are more jobs now than there were a month ago but they're pretty puny to what we should be doing but if you look at those figures and dissect them out they're not all that glamorous because during that last month 1.2 million people dropped out of the workforce so if you get 200,000 new jobs and 1.2 dropped out you still lost a million jobs So if you take that into consideration, you can't turn these people into non-people. You can't fudge them. I love that. You can't just make them into non-people. You can't just do that. Well, apparently you can. They're figures and that's what politicians do. I understand. I understand. But I'm not going to listen to you.

09:32 If you do that, actually the unemployment rate is 11%, not 8.5. It went up rather than gone down if you count these people. Isn't there a problem here though? If all the Republicans keep dumping on what are apparently good figures, then the... Already he didn't hear it. Apparently good figures but the Republicans are dumping. The positivity that America needs to get itself out of recession gets stymied a bit. I'm gonna read you a quote here which I thought was fascinating. He's just not listening. It's like that That thing on his... he has poop in his head. This quote is from Jeb Hensarling, who's a Republican representative. He said, today is an indication of another failure of his president's policies. 36 months in a row of 8% plus unemployment, which is a ludicrous way of spinning it.

10:22 How can you say this is another example of a president getting things wrong on a day when actually the official figures, whichever way you dress them up, whichever way you dress them up, he doesn't even understand what he's saying himself, are positive. Isn't it better? It's not positive. Now, Ron Paul's going to try it one more time. The more I suppose the more credible position for Republicans to say, I am encouraged by this, but he should have gone further. To me, it's more important that you admit the truth. So if I'm speaking the truth, so we might have to compare figures. But let's assume for a second that I'm speaking the truth. No, that would be crazy. And the 200,000 new jobs was a net benefit. But what I'm saying is we quit counting people. We disavowed them. So if I'm speaking the truth, the most important thing is we know the truth, not the public. Matter of fact,

11:14 You'll probably have me a hard time. You probably haven't heard me in a speech I do talk about the present a little bit mainly on attack on civil liberties and maybe not doing enough about the wars So I'm not in that same people to say well the president didn't do enough It's all the president's fault because it isn't so but Piers Morgan clearly just it's amazing to me how the guys he's literally saying the numbers are cooked and then Piers Morgan spits it back and says well even if the numbers are cooked they're still positive like Now he's such a bad interviewer and obviously so bigoted that I don't see how anyone watches that show. I mean you can watch it once in a while, but he just seems brain dead. I don't see him connecting with the guests.

CHAPTER 05 / 39 Discussion

Iran Nuclear Threat, Ahmadinejad Misquotes, and Preemptive War

Ron Paul challenges the media narrative regarding Iran, asserting that President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was misquoted concerning "wiping Israel off the map." Paul cites Mossad and CIA intelligence to argue that Iran does not pose an existential threat and criticizes the doctrine of preemptive war. The discussion compares the current rhetoric surrounding Iran to the lead-up to the Iraq War.

ron paul· iran· ahmadinejad· israel· mossad· preemptive strike

11:59 Hardly ever once in a while someone will come on he seems to have some rapport with him, but generally speaking He's just dissociated. It's very difficult to to get an audience to like hey. Hey, there's the There's the 9 the 918 right on time Yep, there it goes. Burlington Northern, they're giving you a toot. They're like, hey, hey you guys, you guys are wasting your time. One of those high speed rails is actually a passenger train and it's going, looks like it's doing about 20 miles an hour. But he's tooting his horn just to remind us that we're wasting our time. There was a dog on the tracks. So then, very interesting, Ron Paul brought up the, which another thing we've talked about so many times, about the lie that is being propagated by everyone in government, worldwide now, particularly as it pertains to Iran, about Ahmadinejad apparently saying he wants to wipe Israel from the face of the map. And we know that's not what he said.

13:01 But that's been twisted into this meme, which of course is mind control and done for a very specific reason, which is obviously to go and kill some more brown people in the sand. And Ron Paul lays it out very clearly. But this exchange, it's just... I'll have to play a douchebag after it. Assume you become President Ron Paul. If Iran was to strike back at Israel, what would you do? Well, I go and look to the rules, and the rules are that if our national security is threatened, you explain it to the people, and then you go to the Congress and say, is our national security threatened to such a degree that we declare war against a particular country? If you believed that Iran had enough enriched uranium,

13:47 to genuinely launch a nuclear attack against Israel, would that knowledge alone mean that you would count on its military action? Well, the one thing that we should set aside is there's our CIA and the Mossad. Israel are not arguing that they have the case and even even Israel said that the leader of the Mossad said even if they had a weapon It's not an existential threat to them. So you wouldn't ever count on any preemptive strike. No, not really Why should we that's aggression? He you should see Ron Paul's face when he said that's aggression. What do you what kind of douchebag Brit are you? You just go and kill people. That's not that's not the way we operate here. We were not supposed to commit aggression. I mean, that's left for the dictators. But, you know, we now don't do aggression. But we what we do is preemptive war. If you had got knowledge, war is equivalent to listen to Morgan, try and and work his way into a logical conclusion to go and kill these people. And I think it's very dangerous. They have already said.

14:48 Ahmadinejad has made it quite clear he believes in wiping out Israel if he got the chance. If you were president in the Second World War and you'd been given knowledge the Japanese were planning Pearl Harbor, you would have preemptively struck, wouldn't you? Well, let me touch your first subject first and that is quoting Ahmadinejad because that's a misquote but 99% of the people in the media would misquote it and everybody in Washington believes it. What he actually said on the proper interpretation was that the regime in charge of Jerusalem should be removed from the pages of time. He did not say that Israel should be wiped from the face of the earth. Just think of the

15:27 difference on that removing the regime like getting rid of our administration or something. Now how do we respond to that as a true journalist? Should we delve into it or just ignore it? What do you think? I think we should ignore it. Seriously defending out there didn't I? No, in fact let's attack the guy. You're not defending him are you? I'm trying to defend honesty and I'm trying to defend openness and willing to stop a war just to see him as a threat? Is he a threat to America? Just like John Kennedy was able to talk to Khrushchev. If we can talk to Khrushchev and he had 30,000 missiles Why can't we talk to a country that doesn't have a nuclear missile and there are not on the corner of the record? They're not on the verge of it even on this is a lot of Americans who you know may like they may like you personally or whatever But they think you'll weak on this because of the pre-emptive issue and I come back to that question I put to you if you had knowledge and you were president when Pearl Harbor happened if you had pre knowledge of that happening

16:24 would you have attacked Japan? Yeah, an imminent attack. We're sitting here, we're seeing the planes come over, obviously, yes. An imminent attack. Well, I mean intelligence. An imminent attack. Intelligence, it may happen. An imminent attack is quite different when the planes are coming versus this fiction. Just, we shouldn't have such short memories. He's gonna wrap it up in 30 seconds, he's gonna do it beautifully. But he's making a very important point here, which you by the way should use at your cocktail parties. Everything they're saying about Iran, we said about Iraq and they were all lies. And how many men died? 8,500 Americans died, 44,000 come back crippled. I totally agree with you about Iraq. Well, it's the same principle. I as a newspaper editor... I as a newspaper editor, yes, I was against the war in Iraq.

17:09 So the newspaper edited back in Britain, I oppose the war in Iraq, vigorously and loudly for two years. You think you should oppose us going into Iran? I think Iran is a different situation. Why? Because I think that they would, if they could, consider attacking Israel. And if you're America, you can't let that happen. and the israelis are looking to america why not? why shouldn't they depend on the british? why doesn't the british take care of them? they used to have, they have a lot of influence up there, let all the british kids go over there and die. yeah exactly send your own kids pierce morgan. send your kids there to go die. i love that. i love it. i love it i love it i love it. so instead of this guy becoming president as we've just heard because cnn says he won't be your next president

Ann Romney Campaign Appearance and Voter Etiquette

Ann Romney is criticized for her tone during a campaign appearance for Mitt Romney. A specific clip highlights her telling an audience to "obey" and not clap, which is characterized as an authoritarian approach to voter interaction.

17:51 We're gonna get this Romney douchebag and his wife, 15 seconds of this made me throw up in my mouth. She comes out to announce her husband and Romney and listen to what she says. Once again I'm here to make sure that you listen to me this time and obey when I tell you don't clap. Obey me slaves. Did you hear him say that? Yeah. I want you to obey me. As first lady you will obey Anne Romney. Oh, but I want you to obey me. So you can imagine, uh, I need a bucket now in the studio here at Camp MoFo. To pukin'. Where's the douchebag for Piers Morgan? That's what I was waiting for. Oh. Douchebag! There you go. I feel much better. Much better. Oh, my goodness.

CHAPTER 07 / 39 Discussion

Erin Burnett Drone Segment, CNN Editorial Failures

CNN host Erin Burnett is critiqued for a botched editorial segment regarding drone surveillance in Brooklyn. Burnett's closing line, which questioned how much freedom Americans would give up to maintain "American freedom," is highlighted as a logical failure. The segment also touches on John King's rapid delivery style and the general quality of CNN's editorial content.

erin burnett· cnn· drones· patriot act· brooklyn· john king

18:53 So I didn't have I didn't pay much attention to any of this crap Well, I do it so you don't have to so you can do much more important things tell me yeah My clip, okay, what was that? Although I have quite a bit today about crappy me good very good. That's what we do assassinate him Shoot him in the head Stupid crappy man she clipped this entire thing and then I decided well as I was listening to and I played a piece of it to JC I realized that the piece of it's actually better than the whole thing JC is kind of starts off with no it's just pure. This is Aaron Burnett

19:29 You have to, and it would be fun to play the whole thing, but it's about two and a half minutes. She decides, she does these editorials because if you work on any of these shows, the producers always want these hosts to do editorials. To give them credibility and because they don't have enough fake news to report on. And so most people who are smart don't do them because they're really hard to do. and generally speaking you tend to, you know, a lot of people can't do them at all and I think that Erin's one of them. So she came up, she found, they found a drone sign in Brooklyn and she went into an exposition about it. Let's just say that our knight did, our knight in New York did these drone signs. So we got a drone sign sitting there and she goes on and on about the drone sign and who, you know, where it came from, what it means and what, and she, I mean I'm talking two minutes solid blah blah blah and so she wraps it up

20:23 with what I have here is the clip and then when she gets to the final punchline she blows it. She spent two and a half minutes to get to a line that she blows. See if you can catch it. The drones were watching and they helped catch a terrorist or a murderer. Would we be okay with the drones then? 10 years after 9-11, 10 years after the Patriot Act. We're still debating how much of our freedom are we actually willing to give up to maintain American freedom? Let us know what you think. You can always tweet me at Aaron Burnett, hashtag out front. Have a great weekend. No, I didn't. It was just dumb. I don't understand. What did I let me listen to? Don't say don't say don't say let me listen again.

21:11 But if the drones were watching and they helped catch a terrorist or a murderer, would we be okay with the drones then? 10 years after 9-11, 10 years after the Patriot Act. We're still debating how much of our freedom are we actually willing to give up to maintain American freedom? Let us know what you think. You can always tweet me at Erin Burnett with the hashtag out front. Have a great weekend. It's supposed to be American security or something. It wasn't supposed to be our freedom. How much freedom are we going to give up to get more freedom? I mean this makes no sense. She blew it. It was supposed to be American security.

21:48 No beers at the corner pub for you, Aaron. And what's weird about it, this, I'm telling you, this was two and a half minutes to lead up to this punchline, and she blows it. And then she just stumbles off the stage, basically. It's like, whatever. Well, alright, it's weekend. Who can, no one's watching anyway. I don't know who gonna give a crap about this stupid show. Give me my check. I'm going to have a pizza. Yeah, these people are... It's too bad because she's so cute. Yeah, but she does, she seems... She's I don't know maybe she's better in a conversation. Maybe she should have Pierce You know I would rather watch her do Pierce Morgan's job. Well. She was she was always listen Listen, you know she was always good with the dead the fat dead guy. She was color. She was color commentary What's that dead guy from CNBC? She did the the morning show that's where she became famous Yeah, no she did have one of the shows. Yeah, I know I used to do her show

22:45 But she was good interacting. She would talk to people, she'd go back and forth. She would be better in Piers Morgan's job. They should fire him and put her in there. She's prettier. And we could just... and she could sit there yakking with people all day and you know maybe she won't make these... I mean she's obviously... this not... she's not cut out for this. While we're at it, while we're at... while we're working on changing CNN here at the Curry-Dvorak Consulting Group, we've got to limit John King's Coke intake. He talks too fast and he's got a, seems to have a, something wrong with his nasal passage. He does not see debris, he does not breathe through his nose anymore, he talks real fast, I don't know what it could be. And what comes out of that pie hole is... Could be too much coffee by the way. Possible, possible. Anyway. Well we do have a lot of things to get to today John, in fact I think I have made a rather interesting discovery

CHAPTER 08 / 39 Discussion

Value for Value, Producer Credits, and Global Connectivity Issues

The program acknowledges its "Value for Value" funding model, thanking numerous executive and associate executive producers for their financial support following a period of low donations. During the segment, a live internet connection failure occurs between the hosts, highlighting the technical challenges of remote broadcasting. Individual donors are granted "karma" and "de-douching" as part of the show's tradition.

value for value· executive producers· donations· karma· internet connection

23:42 Regarding the Leroy 15 which actually a number of discoveries which I think I'd like to really kick the show off with after we Thank some producers here and seems like our call-out Jostled the memory of many many people that we actually don't have advertising on this program and live solely by the alms of and the goodness of people who consider our programming valuable and therefore provide us with donations of value. Right and I hope we don't get into a feast or famine situation. I think it's exactly what's gonna happen. We had a lousy, the last three shows the donations were lousy. It was no not last four. No no John it's since January 1st so that's like. We had one good show in there.

24:35 We sent a mailing out and we had that one good show. So we actually had one good donation segment. Since then it's been nothing and we had, we were at the point where we almost got no executive producers. We kept having, you know, these, you know, one guy. So now of course we got a feast and famine thing since we did a real plea. And now we have six executive producers and 11 associate executive producers for this show. What? 380. Well that's good, we eat. And we have actually two members of the 380 club too. Nice. So let's thank all these folks for helping us and I'm going to concatenate some of these comments even though not so much here. We have an anonymous Bob from Australia, past insights from JCD and all the reading done by Adam Kareem. May it continue. I still think your model is wrong. You should do a pay per episode.

25:27 We had a lot of suggestions about getting more. In fact, what we did on the last show is the got us the most. That's what we should do more of, which is beg. One hour free to attract new listeners and then pay now. This is not we're not putting this sort of thing together. We're not interested in that. Not gonna happen. Maybe we should do another episode where we just like a point five episode where we just talk about how it is that we do what we do and why it is the only way it can work. Yeah, we will do another .5 episode. I think it's a great idea. Anyway, he does say that, well, something worked because he's donating and he donated $808.88. A lot of eights there, which is a good Asian number. Very good.

26:11 Anyway, and then he has some more suggestions donations Don't know his donation is part of some waging winnings apparently he won a one a football game or something Which I promised to donate if I came out ahead before starting out Karma would be nice for some big meetings in the next week, and you can if you can call an OSS Karma that would be nice keep going the year is needed more than most go ahead. Okay. Here are some OSS karma You've got karma. Nice. Sir Dwayne Melon Saul in Tiggerd, Oregon, Winnie the Pooh country, $380.83. Thank you. He may have an email message. I'll look it up and read it at the break. Sir Paul Schneider in Edmonton, Alberta, 380. Please credit me as Paul Schneider. Put me on the birthday list for February 4th. Thanks for the show.

Thanks for the work on the show and hopefully the donation helps minimizing Adam's whining. If I could get a hit of karma, I would appreciate it.

27:44 You've got karma. Can I just say one thing here? I did not whine I merely said if the value was going at the value we were getting then we'll have to go back to one show That's a very simple equation. It's not whining It's just being honest and forthright and saying here's the deal if I'm with you, okay Scott Dawsonville in Georgia Oh, I'm sorry Scott in Dawsonville, Georgia. 34567, nice number.

Super Bowl XLVI Predictions, Manning Family Fractals

A discussion on Super Bowl XLVI focuses on "fractal" patterns in the careers of Eli and Peyton Manning. One host predicts a New England Patriots victory based on Tom Brady's pursuit of a fourth ring, while the other favors the New York Giants. The segment clarifies that the show does not typically issue "football karma" despite donor requests.

35:25 It's probably toast already, but it helps to make a good show. Well, this is good. We've got sysadmins everywhere who have security clearance and they're still propagating the formula. Appreciate it. David C. Pugh in North Canton, Ohio. Yeah, put a bumper sticker on the computer. $200. ITM, this should top off my night hood, sorry, but one show a week does not work for me. I'm going to Need from all you douchebag boners to get off off your wallet and donate PS if you give the Patriots and grow No, no, I'm not gonna happen I'll give let me let me just say this they don't need I'm gonna bring this up I know Adam doesn't like football, but I'm gonna mention this one time one time only the confluence of of Fractals in this Super Bowl in the case that the Patriots can't lose the game. Okay now first of all let me state that

36:15 That we are now denying $100 extra as he promised if we give the Patriots karmas, but we don't do football karma, so we're not going to do that. Second, I would like to say, how dare you say I don't like football? I heard you on Twitch saying, just have Adam on. He doesn't give a crap about football. I watch one game a year. I watch the Super Bowl. I enjoy it immensely. I love it for the television values and I would not give anything up to watch that. And third, Giants are going to win. Here's the fractals. The fractals are simple. Besides that this will complete the final season undefeated season for the which doesn't exist anymore, but it's it's a karmic thing. The fractals are as follows.

37:01 Peyton Manning and and Eli Manning are brothers and they have followed the exact same career path Peyton won one Super Bowl and lost one Super Bowl Eli's won one Super Bowl. He has yet to lose a Super Bowl He's the fractal indicates. He'll lose this game. The second one is that Tom Brady who has his eyes on being a clone of of Joe Montana has won three Super Bowls and to complete the the frack goal he has to win the fourth. I don't know what you're talking about. That's what I'm saying, that's why you don't like football but anyone out there listening knows what I said and that's the way this thing is going. I like watching a bunch of guys with the tight pants running around a field. There's nothing wrong with that. Alright let's get our last guy out of the way. You missed one person right?

37:50 Yeah, I'm gonna do him now and by the so anyway, that's why they don't need karma. This is a done deal fractal wise Joshua Poulsen in Richfield or she sure gall in Richfield, Washington In this she's in the chatroom is sure goal $200 another note on the Panetta interview You can't fire back at someone holding a gun to your head because they have not fired in other words when threatened escalate Yeah Well someone see unlike it so you could be you could be better than Pierce Morgan because you actually listen to what the person is saying Thank you very much. Not you So we highly appreciate this. This is very good. This will definitely keep us on our two show regimen and that's the way it's got to go. Well, hold on a second. You know, this is one like again, Feast or Family, you said you wanted to see what the numbers were for February. Yeah. We just began. We got two or three more shows, four more shows, I think. But I'm being very encouraged and positive, if you don't mind. I guess if you want to be.

Voiceover Auditions, Old Navy, and Career Fallbacks

A personal anecdote describes the experience of auditioning for commercial voiceover work through the Vox Agency. A sample audition tape for a public service announcement about alcohol awareness is played, illustrating the difficulty of sounding sincere in scripted commercial environments.

38:49 I'm very encouraged. I think I want to really thank everyone who stepped up and helped us out on this show because it made a difference. I'm telling you, the numbers came in, they were really bad last show. I mean, bad, bad. I miss Mickey like, well, forget it. You know, she's like, I can't believe, when she was in Holland, she was getting free stuff from designers. She lives with me, she shops at H&M. She's like, do I really have to downgrade to Old Navy? Like, yeah, you know, there's nothing all that bad. Certain women, John, I would include her easily. They can wear anything. I just want to tell you, you can wear a garbage bag, honey. In fact, I got you a whole new wardrobe. Look at this box. You know, the rest of it is just a label. It's bull crap. I mean, Old Navy, you see those Old Navy commercials, a lot of these

39:36 You see these models walking around in some of these, you know that most people don't look that good in Old Navy clothes. I've got to tell you, I've sunk so low that I got a voiceover agent to try and do commercials, which I've never been successful at, but they send me like two auditions a day. And I swear to God, I'm getting stuff like Old Navy. You know, they're like, they try to match up the voice. I'd love to hear your voice on a voiceover. Old Navy. You should do that surfer voice with the kind of the joyous sound. No, they always they they asked me to do the Old Navy thing. And yesterday I did one and I never haven't gotten a gig yet. You know, but I'm like, I got to be able to support my family. Leo gets these gigs all the time.

40:21 Because you know I think you can hear in my voice I just can't be serious about You might have a drinking problem. Talk to your chaplain. I'm like How insincere am I gonna be? Do you want to hear that one? Let me see if I could you want to hear it cuz I think I have it. Yeah, hold on a second This will be funny because I sent it yesterday Hold on a second drinking This is how bad it got by the way. Hold on. Auditions, here we go. Yeah, Filmhouse should, hold on it just has to load up. Here we go. Adam Curry, Vox Agency should for Filmhouse Inc. Already you're like, this guy ain't gonna get the gig. Even that slate is no good. Alright, here we go. Filmhouse Inc.

41:12 People come into my bar to have a good time and luckily I'm around to make sure things don't get out of hand if someone has too good of a time. If someone's had enough, I cut them off. It's best for everyone. But what about people who aren't under my watch? You know, some people think just because they don't go out to bars or clubs that they're not at risk for a drinking problem. If they're having more than a couple of drinks a day, it could be a problem, even if they're doing it at home. They might ought to talk to someone or see the chaplain. And since I'm not around to cut him off, maybe you could help me get the word out. Okay? I mean, I'm not gonna get that gig. You know, ladies and gentlemen, save Adam from this fate worse than death. And of course you can always go out and propagate the formula. That will bring in new donors for sure. Our formula is this. We go out, we hit people in the mouth. Order! Shut up!

CHAPTER 12 / 39 Discussion

Le Roy 15, Gardasil Vaccination, and Conversion Disorder

The "Le Roy 15" case involves a group of high school girls in New York who developed sudden Tourette's-like tics. While health officials and activist Erin Brockovich point to environmental factors or "mass psychogenic illness," the hosts argue the symptoms are an adverse reaction to the Gardasil HPV vaccine. A 36-year-old woman with similar symptoms is introduced by the media to deflect from the school-centric vaccine theory.

le roy· tourette's· gardasil· hpv vaccine· erin brockovich· conversion disorder

43:56 So anyway, so there's all kinds of interesting documents floating around and there's a I got to set this up This of course is about the Leroy 15 which interestingly enough has now expanded to almost 20 and And these are these girls, for those of you who are new to the program, who all of a sudden develops Tourette's syndrome-like tics. And I'm kind of an expert in that because I have that, although I don't have the... not much of the yelling dirty words in public thing. But I have all the rest.

44:34 And I'm quite convinced that this, because it's girls, because they're in school, because they're of the perfect age. And because I've been following this Gardasil HPV vaccination for such a long time, I am absolutely convinced that this is an adverse effect to Gardasil and the media who live something in the shot. Yes, exactly. And the media who are of course whores of the pharmaceutical industry, if you just watch television and just pay attention to commercials, it's all pharmaceutical ads. Almost everything is related. Every other break you're going to have, maybe every break you're going to have a pharmaceutical advertisement. So they have to cover this up. And the media is complicit in this and I can now start to prove this. But the first thing that they're doing is they are trying to discredit

45:30 Anything that points towards Gardasil And what's interesting is that in the document I'm about to share with you, they have not tested any other vaccination. Whereas I think it would be very fair to say maybe we should check for swine flu or the flu vaccine because it seems like those are being handed out for free like candy everywhere. No, they didn't even test that. So it's kind of, you know, jumping out off any page that they're only checking for one vaccine and nothing else. But of course they brought in Erin Brockovich to continue the cover-up and she's just a whore going after any money she can get. I'm sorry if you like Julia Roberts in the movie, that's not really necessarily the persona that Erin Brockovich is. Here's NBC with Brian Williams doing their bit to a cover-up and then we'll get into the discovery. For the first time since symptoms started appearing in teenage girls in this small town,

46:27 A 36 year old woman, not associated with Leroy High School, is being treated for severe tics and Tourette's-like symptoms. So what they have to do here is they have to say, oh it's not just these girls, now we have a 36 year old woman, and they bring out this woman. Is it hard to walk? It looks like you're having... My whole right side is affected. Marge Fitzsimmons is a local mom and a licensed nurse practitioner. This is really scary. It's like somebody came in and took home away. Now a team of environmentalists headed up by activist Erin Brockovich believes the growing problem may stem from a train derailment near the school more than 40 years ago. So they're still on this whole, oh it must be chemicals, it must be something in the water, and this woman

47:16 She has a version of Tourette's. It's not at all like the tics that these girls have. And I'm sorry, I consider myself to be somewhat of an expert. I can see someone with a tic or Tourette's from a mile away and actually we recognize each other. It's like a secret club. It's like the TV new drama series Grimm. People who see that don't get that joke. Yeah, we literally, you know, like a waiter will, we're in a restaurant. Sometimes I don't, but usually, you know, I'll look at him and go like, it's okay, man. I know what you mean. Look at me. So don't worry about it. And then, and actually when you relax, then it gets better. It's more about the fear of people noticing it. So this woman, she clearly, this is not the same. It is not the same. And I can say that from my own 47, well, 40 years of experience. It started when I was seven. Now here's where it gets very interesting. The, um,

CHAPTER 13 / 39 Discussion

New York Health Department Report, Mercury Toxins

The New York State Department of Health released an interim report on the Le Roy neurological cluster, officially blaming "conversion disorder." The report dismisses environmental toxins like TCE, but the hosts note that the department's own literature acknowledges mercury can cause identical tic symptoms. Dr. Laszlo Mechtler of the Dent Neurological Institute is criticized for dismissing vaccine links.

new york department of health· mercury· tce· dent neurological institute· toxins

48:11 The health department, the New York State Health Department released a document. This was released January 31st, 2012 and it is their findings in the investigation of neurologic symptoms amongst Leroy High School students and this is the interim report October 2011 to January 2012. And I'll just tell, just a spoiler right off the bat. I'll go to the end here and I'll give you the conclusion. The healthcare providers and public health agencies involved in this investigation consider this cluster of cases to be the result of conversion disorder slash mass psychogenic illness. Mass psychogenic illness has been defined as a group of symptoms suggestive of organic disease but without an identified cause in a group of individuals with shared beliefs about the cause of the symptoms. Outbreaks of mass psychogenic illness affect, affects females more than males. So,

49:11 They're basically saying, these girls are crazy. That's what it is. Please, nothing to see here. They have mass hysteria similar to if you know someone is throwing up, you might have to throw up. That's basically what it is if you look into the definition. So they're going to summarize first about tics. Now here's some background information. Tics are repeated involuntary twitches, movements or sounds. Isolated and transient tics are common amongst children affecting up to 20% of the school age population. Did you know that? 20%? Seems high. It seems extremely high to me. I mean, I was the only kid in a school of several thousand.

49:54 A collaborative investigation by New York State Department of Health, New York State officials of mental health, Genesee County Health Department, LaRoy Bola, and here it is, found no infectious or environmental etiologies. Three students had illnesses associated with tick symptoms predating their attendance at the school, which is interesting. So we can kind of take them out of the equation, which is very key to the numbers when it gets down to it. The primary findings were that there were no infectious or environmental or public health concerns related to this cluster of students. While preparing this report, the Department of Health learned of three additional students with possible tick syndromes. They are under investigation. So you can take away six of the 15. So now we're getting down to a very, very small number. In fact, 12 students were evaluated by WorkFit Medical and eight of the 12 were evaluated by Dent Neurological Institute.

50:54 This is where it gets very interesting. So I looked at these two companies. I'm like, you know, well, who exactly is the WorkFit Medical? Now, if you look at WorkFit Medical LLC, This is, I mean, they don't even say, it doesn't seem like they belong to some other larger organization. Essentially, they provide occupational health services. One of the things they actually do is provide your company with immunizations. So, and if you look at the website, workfitmedical.com, they're not a, as far as I can tell, just a small group of doctors who have a practice.

51:32 Occupational health services. I don't you know if you look at the about work fit It's a JLE MD 16 years ago 16 years of emergency medical room, you know, she basically has four locations in Western, New York It's a clinic and they go and they say okay, it's all good. So to me that's not like the Mayo Clinic or something, right? You with me? Yeah, no, keep going. I try to get a yeah. All right. So now we're ready for the punchline. Here it comes. So now we go to Dent. Dent. Very interesting as it's a let me just get my document here. So again, they talked about Dent Medical.

52:16 the Dent Neurological Institute. Here's a little news piece I found speaking to one of the doctors and he sounds extremely nervous and he's not happy about being involved in this whatsoever. Scott, Dr. Laszlo Metzler is a world-renowned neurologist who is based at the Dent Institute in Amherst. He says a lot of the hysteria surrounding this issue is coming from people who have not examined the students or who have theories that have just not panned out medically. I'm trying to bring some sanity into this insanity. Dr. Metchler says that for a long time, he and his colleagues at Dent did not publicize the cases which were diagnosed months ago because he was afraid of exactly what's happened now. This is interesting. First of all, he said, I was afraid about the

53:08 Sanity of this insanity. Very carefully listen to the words very carefully a kind of hysteria That's been fueled by publicity seekers and those on cable TV Metchler says the three latest cases are very similar to the existing ones I can say As most of the other patients, they're girls, young girls, obviously in early teens. So similar symptoms, similar town. Many of them know each other. Are adolescent girls somehow more susceptible to this sort of thing? They are, and I'm not sure if we know why. Why are you so confident about ruling out any environmental factors? Half of them are already getting improved, or significantly improved.

53:59 So it cannot be an environmental fact, it can't be a toxin in the brain. Then why are they improving? Number one. Number two, there's no toxin that would cause these symptoms. The TCE brought up with the national media does not cause symptoms like this. Now I just want to stop here for one second. According to the New York State Health Department, their own research, I'm reading it right here on the PDF, they cite an example of a five-year-old Chinese boy who developed exactly these symptoms when he overdosed on mercury, which was contained in some form of a

54:39 allergy medicine that he was that he snorted too much of. So mercury, according to their own document, the same document I'm reading right here can actually cause these symptoms. And of course, mercury is often used as an adjuvant and it wasn't he was not an adjuvant. It's a preservative. Sorry. Isn't he didn't he say TCE specifically, though, which is trichloroethylene. That's what they were talking about. That's the stuff that Brockowitz is going after. the TCE. So he's pushing aside the fact that he's actually lying because there are toxins that will make this kick-like behavior happen, which is mercury. Now let's continue. We think we've ruled out everything environmental, autoimmune, vaccination related. Vaccination related? No, you haven't ruled it out. You've only ruled out Gardasil, which is the kicker.

CHAPTER 14 / 39 Discussion

Sanjay Gupta, Dent Neurological Institute, and Temporal Relationships

A conflict of interest is alleged involving CNN's Sanjay Gupta, who is listed as a doctor at the Dent Neurological Institute, the same facility investigating the Le Roy tics. The health department's report claims there is no "temporal relationship" between the Gardasil vaccine and the onset of symptoms, a phrasing the hosts interpret as a linguistic loophole to ignore long-term adverse effects.

sanjay gupta· cnn· dent neurological institute· gardasil· temporal relationship

55:29 And to back up what Dr. Metzler just said, within the last half hour, the state health department has put out this statement. And what it says is that it has not found any infectious or environmental causes for the student's illnesses. Now interestingly, Dr. Metzler did tell me that recently a parent came in with her daughter believing she too had conversion disorder. But when Dr. Metzler examined the girl, he found that out in this particular case that the girl actually did have a case of tics. So, let's go to the document. Now we can already rule out 6 if not 8 of the 15 because they are not in the study about Gardasil. And again, they only checked for Gardasil. Here it is. Two of the three cases who were tick-free for a period of time experienced an exacerbation of tick syndromes during this time period. I'm sorry, here we go.

56:27 According to the New York State Immunization Information System, 7 of the cases, so we've already ruled out almost all of the other ones, but so they're saying not all the girls had it, but they actually say we didn't count those girls because they had tick syndromes and things before we did this study. 7 of the cases received Gardasil, 5 cases received the recommended 3 doses, while 2 cases received 2 of 3 doses. It's very, very complicated and the PDFs in the show notes that you got to read it. Six of seven cases who received Gardasil had onset of tick syndromes greater than one year after their last dose of the vaccine. One case received her third dose after her tick symptoms onset. Here's the conclusion. There is no temporal relationship between vaccine administration and symptom onset that could be identified.

57:21 What? Yes, I'm going to read that one more time because I looked up the word. There is no temporal relationship between vaccine administration and symptom onset that could be identified. The word temporal is the key here. They're saying the temporal pertains to time. So they're saying because they studied when these ticks started and a couple of these girls had the had the vaccine more than a year ago. Therefore, there is no relationship in time between the vaccine administration and the symptoms. They're not saying there is no relationship between the administration of the vaccine and the symptoms. They're saying there's no temporal relationship. That to me is the smoking gun. Now let me blow your mind. Guess who works at the Dent Neurological Institute? Okay, go. Sanjay Gupta. The same guy that's reporting on this for CNN? And saying that they're just insane.

58:23 He's right there on the website. Sanjay Gupta, award-winning doctor. This is a cover up of epic proportion. But what I think you could have started with this part. Yeah, not everyone listens to the show for five years. You need to set it up a little bit. But I think that the temporal, they're not saying that there's no relationship. No, they're saying no temporal relationship. So, hmm, well that's not, yeah, well this is not, and the way I'm listening to this, even though I think you could have started with the punchline, and by the way, according to Merriam-Webster, I'll just give you the definition of temporal, of or relating to time as opposed to eternity, of or relating to earthly life, and then the rest of it is, just that's. Right, so the way I read it is

59:24 Girls who develop these tick-like syndromes who had Gardasil more than a year ago, we just discount that. There's no temporal relationship. They're saying well if it's more than a year ago then hey they can't possibly have anything to do with it. But coincidentally they all had Gardasil shots is that what you're saying? The ones that they had that actually mattered not the ones they discounted because they already had tick-like syndromes etc. The girls who had the ones that we've isolated as the ones that somehow out of the blue have gotten this problem have all had Gardasil. Exactly. Which means of course that the vaccine could be interacting with something else, you know, like, you know, X number of glasses of milk, who knows? But it seems like a weird coincidence that the only girls who've got this problem have had the shot. Yes. And it's growing. It's growing. Well I don't see why anybody would get this shot to be honest about it.

1:00:21 Well, because doctors are paid to sell it to you. I mean, even even Mickey, who is not a teenage girl, her doctor tried to say, you know, you really should consider the Gardasil shot. Mickey's like, yeah, I think I'll go shoot myself first. They're paid to do it, John. They're paid. That's why this is the reason you don't want. I mean, these sorts of doctors should not you should not go to them. Now, I'm doing more research because there was One other instance of this mass hysteria happening and it happened in 1939 in Bellevue, Louisiana and that was the last time it was dying we had a diagnosis of mass hysteria and So I have to it's hard to delve into it to find in front, you know Google doesn't really go back to 1939 barely goes back to 1999

1:01:23 But so, you know, we I don't know where it were. Was there a different type of immunization scheme that started off in 1939 that you can remember? There was. Sorry. Really, the immunization thing was pretty minor back then, I'm assuming I you can look it up in the old archives of The New York Times. I'm sure you can find the data. It's still out there. I mean, The New York Times is a great archive. Yeah, I mean, I'm... I have a subscription so I can get you into the... What? Well, why... ...pay for archives. Would it kill you to do some work? No, I don't feel like it. Germany began diphtheria vaccinations in 1939. That doesn't help very much. Yeah, that doesn't help. But that was... And it's only happened in that one place. Yeah, yes.

1:02:15 University began selling the vaccine in 1939. Interesting. There is a lot of stuff here in the... I would be more suspicious of government experimentation on the public. When it's all isolated in the middle of nowheresville, Louisiana, it sounds like something they would do. Western equine encephalitis. Encephalitis. Yeah, that. Encephalitis. That's what the vaccine was for. A horse disease? Well yeah, if you're shooting kids up with horse tranquilizer, a horse vaccine, that doesn't sound good. All right, well, enough. Anyway, it's nice to know that Sanjay Gupta is on the case. He's they hired one agency, not not Mayo Clinic, not the National Institute of Health. No, the Dent Neurological Institute, which happens to contain doctors on the take, including Sanjay Gupta. And the guy is not disclosing this, by the way. I haven't heard him say, oh, by the way, I'm a member of the company that is doing the investigation. I'd never heard him say that. Maybe Piers Morgan should interview him. Yeah.

CHAPTER 15 / 39 Discussion

Syria Conflict, Sky News, and Staged Video Footage

Reporting on the conflict in Homs, Syria, is criticized for relying on unverified amateur video provided by opposition activists. The timing of the reported violence is questioned, as it coincided with a United Nations vote to condemn the Syrian government. The footage is characterized as dramatized propaganda intended to influence international policy.

syria· sky news· homs· propaganda· amateur video

1:03:21 Good. Anyway, on the case protecting you, Consumer Watchdog Adam Curry, everybody. So I'm watching, meanwhile, I'm watching Sky and the UK. Groovy. And I'm telling you, the reporting on the situation in Syria and Egypt both is so staged. Oh yeah, I know. The sky stuff was really bad. I mean I have a couple of reports here that you want to play some of them Yeah, that's Rupert Murdoch of course yeah, and The serious stuff is really bit well play this year. I don't have the best Syria clip I could have had and unfortunately I can't back these things up so I have to record the entire broadcast and then hope I got catch something because it just

1:04:10 over the internet. But a good example is Syria reporting on Sky UK. Play a little of this and you'll see how they try to dramatize everything. Wait, this is YouTube footage, right? It's not professional grade video. I can already tell by the sound, right? It's they don't he actually explains they don't know what the hell it is but they trust it yeah. It came in the darkness a sustained barrage of water and artillery rounds smashing into districts of Homs leveling buildings killing and wounding scores of people. Killing kittens!

1:04:53 We can't verify this amateur video, but we have no reason to doubt its authenticity, nor the eyewitness reports from inside the battlefield. The Al-Khalidiyah district of the city took the brunt of the attacks. The streets reverberating to the sounds of explosions and gunfire. An intense offensive against a civilian housing area where opposition is strong. The sound of explosions didn't stop until this moment. The number of... We are close. Bars are 230. You can hear now the sound of explosions and the sound of bullets. The people here are going and running.

1:05:38 out of their houses, you know why? Because they are shooting from far distance of the neighborhood. The dead and the injured soon overwhelmed the few field hospitals set up over the past 10 months to treat people who can't risk going to the main hospital. Neighboring mosques are now being used for triage and for keeping the bodies of the dead. It's unclear why such an offensive would take place as the United Nations considers a vote condemning the actions of the Syrian government.

1:06:17 I can there's your punchline. Yeah, exactly. Of course. Why did somebody add two and two? Why are they doing it now just as the UN is trying to vote to condemn them? Because they're not. This is a scam. So this was, I've actually seen this video on CNN, the exact same report with the exact same guy. Now I'm pissed off because I was like, you know, you had the, you had, I didn't pull the clips. I also saw it on, um, Euro news I think and the New York Times Did exactly the same thing here's this is the New York Times the paper of record the Ministry of Truth Syrian government forces used a barrage of mortar shells and heavy machine gunfire and

CHAPTER 16 / 39 Discussion

UN Security Council Veto, Russia and China

Russia and China vetoed a UN Security Council resolution calling for Syrian President Bashar al-Assad to step down. U.S. Ambassador Susan Rice expressed "disgust" at the veto, while Russia argued the resolution was an unbalanced attempt at regime change that ignored extremist violence within the opposition.

un security council· russia· china· hillary clinton· susan rice· bashar al-assad

1:07:01 in an assault that began Friday night in the central city of homes killing at least 200 people wounding hundreds more opposition activists reported on Saturday. So they're getting this from opposition activists not from journalists and it says the reports could not be independently confirmed but It appeared to be the bloodiest episode in the nearly 11-month-old uprising. As word spread via Twitter, opposition protests broke out Saturday at Syrian embassies around the world, including Egypt, Germany and Kuwait. And then we get our president. We must work with the Syrian people towards building a brighter future for Syria. A Syria without Assad could be a Syria in which all Syrians are subject to the rule of law, and where minorities are able to exercise their legitimate rights, uphold their identities and traditions while acting as fully enfranchised citizens in a unified republic.

1:07:56 The United States and our international partners support the Syrian people in achieving their aspirations and will continue to assist the Syrian people towards that goal. We will help because we stand for principles that include universal rights for all people and just political and economic reform. The suffering citizens of Syria must know we are with you and the Assad regime must come to an end. And Lucifer even tried to get everything all hooked up at the UN but failed. Russia and China have vetoed a UN Security Council resolution calling on Syria's President Assad to stand down. The United States said the vote has increased the risk of more bloodshed and civil war in Syria. Russia had said earlier that the Western Arab-backed resolution was an improper attempt at regime change. Exactly, and he's not lying.

1:08:44 The draft resolution as put to the vote didn't adequately reflect the real state of affairs in Syria and it sent an unbalanced signal to the Syrian parties. Of course, because we know it's fake. The co-sponsors of the resolution haven't taken into account the wording for the draft that we proposed, to the effect that the Syrian opposition must distance itself from extremist groups which are carrying out acts of violence, and we called upon states and all those who have the relevant opportunities to use their influence to put an end to such acts. Bring in Clippity-Clop! Earlier in Munich, the US Secretary of State and the Russian Foreign Minister had met, but the talks had failed to overcome Moscow's misgivings. As I said at the United Nations on Tuesday, to block this resolution is to bear responsibility for the horrors that are occurring on the ground in Syria. Which we cannot confirm.

1:09:41 Which nobody can nobody can confirm where Russians can confirm it's not happening at least that's what they say Yeah, but I thought the whole thing was so staged to give it to the Russians and the Chinese to veto it because they knew they were gonna do that and then power Rice your pal was rice. We're disgusted. I want to throw up and so horrible. I'm disgusting Yeah, she went on and on I wish I had to clip it. I only heard on the radio. It was like oh my god This woman is just showboating I didn't even clip it. I thought you, I thought for sure you would have it. I didn't get it. I got it off, I heard it. I didn't get it. Oh, well hold on a second. I'll play it for you. She's disgusted. I'm disgusted. It's all fake. She's not disgusted. She's happy. She doesn't have to be the one that vetoed it. She's a liar. She's just a liar. They're all liars.

1:10:29 and the real and you know then the president comes out with a statement i think that i think i have it here from uh... this is uh... rice being disgusted you know that no the portion of the staffers mission to the vote that's who's this guy so he saw a problem with those in charge of the time is that he's french and how come the french guy gets a job two thousand twelve six stroke never had to send their own words that was rice hall while delaying here we go security back a little there we go rice the United States is disgusted that a couple members of this council Russia China you to prevent us from fulfilling our sole purpose here of killing brown people in deserts addressing an ever-deepening crisis in Syria and a growing threat by the way I think she's like four foot nine

CHAPTER 17 / 39 Discussion

Iran Missile Claims, Moshe Ya'alon, and Strategic Threats

Israeli Deputy Prime Minister Moshe Ya'alon claimed that a destroyed Iranian missile site was developing weapons capable of reaching the United States. U.S. officials have expressed skepticism regarding these claims, noting Iran is not close to such technology. The rhetoric is viewed as a strategic attempt to frame Iran as a direct threat to American soil.

iran· moshe ya'alon· israel· missiles· great satan· strategic affairs

1:11:21 How come she never mentions Bahrain? We know for a fact that hell's breaking loose there and it's been stomped down by the Arab forces from Saudi Arabia and we've never, we never, that's never mentioned once. It was only mentioned on Democracy Now. Hello, because the Formula One is going to Bahrain. We don't want to mess up our seats. Oh, I didn't realize Formula One's headed there. And no sooner had we ended the show on Thursday When I think I literally said this means war is coming boom Panetta now we know why Panetta was all over the press because he needed a little bit of attention to then come out and say I'm not gonna report on the fact that I know that Israel wants to go attack Iran But I'm not commenting on it, and then everyone goes nuts. I mean the whole world goes crazy about Iran or Iran or Iran they're gonna kill us. Oh Israel's gonna go they're gonna go in

1:12:18 Here's the thing that bothers me most about this little theater of late, is the character who comes out of... Well here, play Iran's bogus missile and then we'll discuss it. Yeah, I love this. A top Israeli official is claiming a missile site destroyed in an explosion last year was producing missiles capable of reaching the United States. Moshe Yaron, Israel's deputy prime minister and minister for strategic affairs, made the assertion in a speech on Thursday. The explosion in the research and development installation for the Iranian missile system was for a system that was preparing to produce or develop a missile with a range of 10,000 kilometers. This is for the great Satan, the United States, America, and not us. And therefore it's not just a threat against Israel.

1:13:16 So when we reach the discussion of a nuclear weapon in the hands of this regime, we need to look at it within this perspective. U.S. officials have cast doubt on Yalon's claims, saying Iran is nowhere close to producing missiles capable of hitting U.S. soil. The only thing that's wrong there is it's not for the great Satan, it's for the great Lucifer. That's what they should be saying. It's for Hillary Clinton. So this guy whose real name is Smolenski, he changed his name to Yalan because he joined some group. It was like a club. And he's essentially this war hawk. He's been in there and he's not some slouch. He's the vice president.

CHAPTER 18 / 39 Discussion

Pipeline Geopolitics, Exxon, and European Energy Dependence

The geopolitical tension in Syria and Iran is linked to international oil and gas pipelines. The theory suggests that the U.S. and Russia have reached agreements via Exxon to maintain Russian energy dominance in Europe. Removing Iran from the equation would eliminate a competitor for the European market, benefiting Russian distribution networks.

pipelines· exxon· russia· iran· energy· european union

1:13:59 Prime Minister and the Minister of Strategic Affairs and he's coming up with this bullcrap. Don't forget Iran's the country that sent off these missiles, you know some crappy missiles that they had to photoshop, you know, that they launched so they could show that they had more than one that actually got off the ground. I mean these people aren't developing any missile technology. No. So this is an out-and-out lie. But if I look at all the pieces on the chessboard, so of course we want Syria strategically There's a lot of good reasons to have Syria and it was already... No, who's we? I don't think we want Syria. I think it's all bluster because we've already made the agreement with the Russians through Exxon that it's their operation and they get to keep it. And we're just trying to make it look as if... I think the whole thing's a charade. We don't want Syria. There's nothing there for us. I'm gonna agree with you and I'm gonna say why. This is the get out of jail free card for the Russians and the Chinas.

1:14:54 when we go and bomb, bomb, bomb Iran. That's why. So Russia can say, look, we had nothing to do with it. But the Iran thing, that's real. They really, really, really want it. And they're going to go get it. And we're going to go kill people for sure. And maybe, you know, if you look at it, just, you know, we've got Georgia. So Georgia is now on board. That's why Chakras Vili was eating his tie there in Washington, because that's a that'll be a strategic launching pad from which to launch whatever we want to go on the from the other side and go get it right. Just look at the map, you know, and then you can see it. No, it's very obvious. And the sad thing is, is that people are like, like Piers Morgan,

1:15:46 Well, yeah, you know, hey preempted we got to go kill him crazy. You can't have a firecracker. I'll kill you that's really it's well the pressure the obvious media and Political pressure to do something in our end it but Ron Paul's the only one apparently resisting this. Yeah, everybody else is on board Everybody else is buying it. Although I can't believe they actually believe it. So there is some alternative There's some alternative There's a different world, there's something going on I think, I mean it's not just about the oil in Iran, they got some but they haven't got anything like Iraq.

1:16:24 I mean, there's something, there's a missing piece to... No, I think it's all, it's those pipelines. I think that's what we're missing, John. It could be the pipelines. Pipelines are big. Because, well, the pipelines have to be, and these are coming from Russia, by the way. The pipelines from Russia that bypassed Poland, they had to kill all the Polish government to make that happen, and that's to go feed Europe. We want Europe dependent on Russia, which of course is also American oil. All the deals are in place, as you pointed out. And but we have to remove Iran from the equation. I think it's if you and Mr. Oil, actually, he should write up a blog post or something. He probably knows, but he probably doesn't want to play his hand because everyone will start speculating. But there's so many pipelines. It's all about the pipelines, not just the oil, but the distribution. And of course, where it comes from. I don't think it's so much that we want their oil, although that'd be nice at the end because it's a bonus. But we want you know, we want

1:17:21 to stop oil flowing from Iran to Europe through the Strait because then we can sell more through the Russian pipeline. That to me is the only reason. I mean, what else? Well, that would explain Russia's being on board with this current theater and playing the bad guy. They've done it before. They don't mind it. And the Chinese of course are just idiots. So who knows what they're thinking. Hey wait a minute, don't we need a pipeline through Syria? Hold on a second, I bet you that has to do with it. So the Russians probably said, look, we'll give you your damn pipeline. Hold on, let me see. Pipeline Syria. Book of Knowledge. That's all gas. Yeah, it could be. I'm thinking the, oh, Syria-Turkey pipeline.

1:18:09 Of course that would make sense with Turkey joining the EU. I mean this Syria gives in Fox News article Syria claims terrorists blew up blow up pipeline. So there's pipelines everywhere, but is this a how important is it and why did it and what's the Russian connection because they are the ones with that port and Yeah, it would be quite amusing to set up the EU as totally dependent on Russian oil, which we've been heading in that direction. Two years ago we discussed this possibility. I have a report, 20 seconds, that might help us. Iran will cut oil exports to what it calls hostile European states to pre-empt an EU embargo due to come into force on July 1st.

1:18:54 Oil Minister Rostam Hosseini gave no indication on timing nor on which countries Tehran would target. Now that's Euro news so obviously that's propaganda and there's no evidence other than a voiceover that tells me what's being said and what's with the stinger music all of a sudden on Euro news? Well there's stinger music on everything now. Our local news now has stingers. We should do more of that. Yeah, we need to do more stingers. We haven't got any good stingers. Well, I mean... That one's not the best. That's my favorite. Yeah, that's kind of like... I guess we could use that. We need more little hits and stuff. We need little swishes and things. What was that thing you had the other day? Oh yeah, I got it. Here it is. It has to follow something I say. And Adam, that's the way it's... Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. I know... You don't have a cue? Yeah, okay. Go ahead. And Adam, that's how it's going to end.

1:19:51 On to weather now we have more mother ships falling out of the skies Yeah, I think we should I think we should use that between every single topic so so much for Iran John you have something on Egypt more false news. I believe right now. We're going to go over to Berkeley, California John C. Dvorak is standing by Maybe overusing it. So, but we do have something on EDU. You have a bunch of weird stuff that happened. I thought this was kind of interesting and then I looked into this guy Amir Moussa, who is the head of the Arab League and I'm listening to a report on CNN, it's one of these panels, where this guy is discussing, for a think tank, so the guy's discussing

CHAPTER 19 / 39 Discussion

Amr Moussa, Arab League, and Egyptian Leadership

Amr Moussa, the head of the Arab League and a candidate for the Egyptian presidency, is discussed regarding his role in the ouster of Hosni Mubarak. Moussa is described as an anti-Israel figure who broke from other Arab leaders to support the revolution. His rise is seen as part of a broader shift toward Islamist governance in the region.

1:18:54 Oil Minister Rostam Hosseini gave no indication on timing nor on which countries Tehran would target. Now that's Euro news so obviously that's propaganda and there's no evidence other than a voiceover that tells me what's being said and what's with the stinger music all of a sudden on Euro news?

1:19:51 On to weather now we have more mother ships falling out of the skies Yeah, I think we should I think we should use that between every single topic so so much for Iran John you have something on Egypt more false news. I believe right now. We're going to go over to Berkeley, California John C. Dvorak is standing by Maybe overusing it. So, but we do have something on EDU. You have a bunch of weird stuff that happened. I thought this was kind of interesting and then I looked into this guy Amir Moussa, who is the head of the Arab League and I'm listening to a report on CNN, it's one of these panels, where this guy is discussing, for a think tank, so the guy's discussing

1:20:39 something that he thought was an anomaly and then after I looked into it it is not really an anomaly at all this guy Amir Musa is trying was trying to oust Mubarak and he is actually running for president as we speak he's the head of the Arab League and he's a anti-israelite he's just a really you know as far as he's concerned Assad's great so they that makes some sense with the way the Arab League is handling Syria but When I heard this I went, why would this one guy do what he did in terms of his take on the Egyptian revolution?

1:21:16 engagement and really sowed this feeling of helplessness in the people. I mean as dictators go, he wasn't Saddam Hussein, he wasn't Hafez al-Assad, he wasn't Gaddafi, there will be no mass graves being unearthed in Egypt, but he really sort of killed their spirit and it took a while but I mean people just lost faith in themselves and so one of the, immediately before the revolution started, the Arab League had a summit in Sharm El Sheikh, an economic summit, and it was right after Tunisia and right before Egypt. And Egyptians were starting to set themselves on fire. You had that very disturbing little mini-trend happening in Egypt. And all the Arab League delegates were all like, oh no, it's not possible, this is not Tunisia. Everybody had a reason why Egypt could not, why the example could not be repeated. And the one guy who was off message, I give him credit for this, was Amr Moussa.

1:22:12 from day one he was there and he was the head of the arab league he's supposed to be in lockstep with these guys and i was shocked by the quotes i got from he was he was basically saying no this is a wake-up call there's there's things that really need to change you know this this could spread we have to be very careful we have to sort of acknowledge the people will not be marginalized anymore i remember the quote vividly so uh... apparently moosa And I think there's this is part of the of a larger scheme for some of these Islamists to take over most of the area including Syria if they can I mean that's what I think is really going on in Syria which is to get rid of this guy so they can put in a Islamist state. Oh yeah. And that's what's going on now as we see by all the voting results in Egypt it's almost all Brotherhood and some of these other groups Salafists of varying kinds and that's what this guy was this

1:23:07 this head of the Arab League. He hated Mubarak because Mubarak supposedly kicked him out of government work in Egypt because the guy was a complainer and he was always bitching about the close connection of the government with the US, for example. He's not a pro-American type. When I first started looking into this, I said, well, maybe this guy's a CIA plant. Now I'm thinking, no, I don't think so. He's just a... No, no. He's one of these Islamist guys who would love to go to war with Israel and he's old. He's 76 and he wants to take over the place. I think what's happening, and I got a little clue to this, so obviously what's happening in Egypt is not the way the elitist government in the United States wanted to go and they did a shot across the bow, at least that's the way I saw it.

CHAPTER 20 / 39 Discussion

Sinai Peninsula Kidnappings, Bedouin Tribes

Two American tourists and their Egyptian guide were reportedly kidnapped in the Sinai Peninsula by members of the Haramshah Bedouin tribe. The kidnappers allegedly sought the release of tribal members held by Egyptian authorities. The hosts question the legitimacy of the "tourist" label, suggesting the individuals may have been government agents.

sinai peninsula· egypt· kidnapping· bedouins· tourists

1:23:58 Because we know that you know, it's a one-two punch. We just showed that hey if you if you have pirates or whatever and you capture one of our citizens, we're going to come in with our seal team six or maybe we'll send a drone to go kill you. And there was a warning shot and something changed because something was going on in Egypt that somebody didn't like and then they threw this story out. Breaking news this morning out of Egypt right now, a group of armed gunmen kidnapped two American female tourists and their Egyptian tour guide. This is in the Sinai Peninsula. Ivan Watson is live in Cairo with the latest for us. Good morning, Ivan.

1:24:41 Good morning. That's right. The Egyptian authorities confirming that two American tourists were kidnapped in South Sinai by what they say were unidentified Bedouin kidnappers. The U.S. Embassy here in Cairo has confirmed they've gotten that information from Egyptian authorities and are working with them to make sure of the citizenship of these people who have been taken hostage. We've spoken with some of our trusted Bedouin sources in the Sinai Peninsula. They say that the Bedouins, they come from the Haramshah tribe and they want the release of some suspects from their tribe who were arrested by Egyptian authorities. So first of all I love the term trusted, some of our trusted Bedouin sources.

1:25:25 I have a couple of those. I got a couple in my back. Yeah, one drives a cab. Yeah, some trusted Bedouin sources. So when you listen to that report and you hear them say, well, you know, we're going to confirm the nationality if they're citizens and we're going to come and get you. And that story dropped off right away. When I heard tourists, I'm like, OK, agents must be agents, right? I mean, who right now says, you know what? Hey, John, I got a great idea. Let's let's take a vacation to Egypt. Oh good, then let's go to the Sinai Desert. Yes! Groovy! I'm a tourist. Excuse me, do you know where the Internet Cafe is? I'm looking for the Internet Cafe. Please! So something must have happened. Does that relate to your Sky News on Egypt clip? Is there anything that we can get from that? Well, no. I don't think there's a connection. The Sky News on Egypt is a... There's a real theater going on with this

CHAPTER 21 / 39 Discussion

Egyptian Protests, Tear Gas, and Media Staging

Protests in Cairo following a deadly football riot are analyzed for signs of media staging. Footage of injured protesters being transported on motorbikes is criticized as theatrical. The use of American-made tear gas canisters by the Egyptian military is highlighted as a point of contention for the protesters.

egypt· cairo· tear gas· media staging· protests

1:26:18 You know, you could just see at stage where the police are holding back a bunch of protesters and using tear gas to do it. And the kids are throwing the tear gas back. And then they're showing these kids who apparently take a breath of, they breathe in a little tear gas instead of having a normal reaction. Through the day, we watched as thousands joined the fight here. Some were ready with masks. But every move forward was met with another blast of gas. But there's little protection against this. Another round of tear gas has just been fired here and this is what's happening through the day. Running battles is the production of tear gas.

1:27:03 I can move forward, but of course I keep on being forced back. Hundreds have collapsed, carried out, struggling to breathe. Rescuers on motorbikes are taking the injured to waiting ambulances. This is the same script as Syria. And not yet, I know, I actually had to listen to the whole clip to make sure I had the right clip. The patient slumped unconscious as they speed through the crowds. But despite the dangers, the protesters brave the tear gas again and again. The only weapons they have are those being used against them. The gas canisters hurled back towards the police lines.

1:27:47 This was sparked by a deadly football riot, but the root causes frustration that the hated military is still in charge a year after the revolution here. This bomb made in USA, okay? They hit us with this bomb, okay? and we don't know what we should do. This is impossible. There is no radical change in Egypt. We need freedom. Where is Anderson Cooper? We gotta send him in, he's gotta go report on this. So you look at these guys, they're riding them off on motorcycles, they have these like, some guy somehow passed out or something and they put them on these motor scooters with the guy in front and the guy in the back and the guy in the middle is like supposedly injured or passed out and his tongue's hanging out and it's just, you can just see the guy, it's just bullcrap.

1:28:40 And so they're running these guys back and forth past this woman they're bumping into and they have all these anti-american things. It's so obvious that, you know, the military that's running Egypt is American trained military. And they're using American tear gas canisters. Bomb. And so they want these guys out, they want all influence out. So this is all again a huge anti-American position being taken by the public. And rightly so, we're a bunch of a-holes. Yeah, I know, but it's just like so

1:29:16 I mean this is not only what we didn't plan on but it's like we've actually created this situation by encouraging the this quasi whatever the revolution or this ouster and it's just a disaster. It's all I've got to say. It's a phony baloney disaster too because most of this is theater, it's staged and it's just like this thing going on in Syria and we're so helpless and then we were there reporting on it like it's you know there's this You can just see this. I mean it's been discussed on the Russia Today news where people say well we were there and they show, in fact we've seen pictures if you remember even a year ago they would show a photograph of an area that is staged with a bunch of protesters and the rest of everybody else is just leading their normal life. So they move the camera in real close it looks like all hell's breaking loose. Yeah they had, remember they had the CNN cameras up on the balcony and the producer whooping up the crowd like three, two, one, go!

European Cold Wave, Global Cooling, and Climate Models

Europe is experiencing record-breaking low temperatures, with the Netherlands reaching minus 23 degrees Celsius. Climate scientists are now attributing this extreme cold to global warming, arguing that melting Arctic ice alters wind patterns. This shift in narrative is criticized as an attempt to reconcile failed "no more snow" predictions with current weather anomalies.

global warming· climate change· europe· arctic ice· stefan rahmstorf

1:31:06 This program, way before we had a Red Book, was predicting the entrance of a global cooling, a new ice age. And of course, we were deemed as deniers and anti-global warming kooks. And let me tell you that in the Netherlands, Gitmo Nation Lowlands, temperatures drop to minus 23 degrees centigrade. Minus 23, that is the coldest it has been in 27 years. Wow, that's Alaska weather. Gitmo Nation East? A crisp powdering of snow across the Peak District and as the sun went down, so did the temperatures. In Skegness, the statues seemed to freeze. Even in cities, temperatures were expected to fall to minus 5 overnight, minus 10 in rural areas.

1:32:08 Seven days of sub-zero temperatures has already triggered cold weather payments for some. £30 million has already been paid out this week, but many this winter are struggling to pay fuel bills and homeless charities say those sleeping outside face a struggle to survive. Right, and people are dying everywhere, all across Euroland. They're dying because they all bought into the stupidity Oh, it's gonna get warmer. It was like, I don't need that parka. I don't need that. Who needs that? Well, as we pointed out, and you actually dug it out, one of us, I don't remember who, the commentary that took place in the beginning of the global warming discussions that you in England will never see another, your children will never see another snowflake in their life. Only in snow globes and on the internet.

1:33:00 Yeah, it's now snowing. Now it's a routine. I was listening to the Sky News, they say well every year, I said there's somebody talking to somebody about how cold it is in London. And so I said, well you know every year it snows now. Yeah, but this it has been continuous and now here's what the experts are saying. In fact, the Independent reports, a growing number of experts believe complex wind patterns are being changed because of melting Arctic sea ice that has exposed huge swaths of normally frozen ocean to the atmosphere above. So now they're like, whoa, whoa, hold on a second. We got to tell people why this is happening. This is because of global warming that is getting so cold. Quote,

1:33:43 The current weather pattern fits earlier predictions of computer models for how the atmosphere responds to the loss of sea ice due to global warming, said Professor Stefan Rammstorf of the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research. The ice-freeze areas of the ocean act like a heater, as the water is warmer than the Arctic air above it. This favors the formation of high-pressure systems near the Barents Sea, which steers cold air into Europe. Why didn't you tell us that? If your computer model predicted it, why didn't you tell everyone, listen, global warming, bundle up! Hey, their computer model obviously was inaccurate then because they're the same people that said it was never snow again in England. Yes!

1:34:30 It's such a huge lie. So how can we trust anything that they say? I mean this is the... people always wonder, well you guys are just, you know, it's global warming, you're only an unsensible person, they don't realize that all the experts agree. Well, they agree on what? Bad calculations? The science is in! It's just logically weird. That's the thing that's always bothering me and then all these crazy anomalies keep taking place and in the early, when you have some little cooling or a little snow blizzard, well we're talking about climate not weather. We're talking about climate not weather. But yet when it warms up in some area during the summertime, then they talk about weather. I mean it's just like this kind of thing is getting on everyone's nerves. Yeah, I mean particularly for the Dutch.

1:35:15 Well, yeah. I mean, you know, we have a lot of family and friends and people are like, you know, it was funny the first two nights and now it's like, okay. Now, the only good thing that's going to come out of this is they will have the Elfstedertocht, which is the, that's the 11 cities natural ice contest. Which every year when it gets like when you know, they're like a little thin crust of ice They're like, hey, we might have a elf state at all soon. That's where they get the ice skate on the water Yeah, and then the natural canals and you'd they see this skating ice skate they do this in Ottawa and but they skate on well, there's two competitions of the old-school guys who basically skate on sticks of wood and

1:36:00 With like a knife blade that jammed in there. The old school Friesian ice skates. It's very picturesque and everyone will forget the hardship of dying of cold for a little while. But if only people had listened to this program, they would have a parka and it'd be nice and warm and they'd have, you know, like some... Some stuff to heat up the house. And we could get, they could go get some of those parkas. Who's the guy who made those parkas for us? Oh yeah. We need to replug them. I finally got mine. It's not a parka. It's a handmade jacket. It's a heavy duty jacket. Made in America. Now it's a beautiful jacket. It's nice and warm too. It's like a hunting jacket, right? And mine has a concealed carry pocket, which is kind of nice.

1:36:44 I have a bunch of crazy stuff on mine too that I add and they're not expensive we have to get this guy's name and give him up another plug. It starts with a B I can't remember offhand. I feel bad now I'll put it in the show notes I'll find it. And I hate to say like you know hello we told you so. But we have been predicting and they finally did it in a brilliant PR move. I mean just a brilliant move again with some research. This is how you get something into the news. We have been saying for many years what they are, what the basically pharmaceutical industry, the chemical industry,

High Fructose Corn Syrup, Sugar Regulation, and Nature Magazine

A report in Nature magazine suggests that sugar should be regulated like alcohol and tobacco due to its toxicity. The hosts argue this is a PR move by the corn syrup industry to conflate natural sugar with high fructose corn syrup (HFCS). The proposal for a "sin tax" and age restrictions on soda is viewed as a distraction from the prevalence of HFCS in processed foods.

high fructose corn syrup· sugar tax· nature magazine· obesity· processed food

1:37:25 Our archer Daniel Midland's company has been working towards for years is equating high fructose corn syrup with sugar Yeah, and they finally did it they course they finally did it and you listen to this report This report is about high fructose corn syrup. This is the stuff that was originally developed to fatten cattle and So they'd be nice and plump and fat and it's now in every single product, almost every single product you can imagine. There's almost no real sugar in anything anymore. And this research comes out from nature. So these guys are highly compromised. You can't believe a single thing you get from them anymore. And only twice in this report on CNN we have two women, because of course you've got to appeal to the female audience.

1:38:15 Only once does she say processed sugar, but for the rest it's all pretty much sugar. Sugar, sugar, sugar, sugar. No, it's high fructose corn syrup, which is not the same as sugar. It's sugar. Sugar! Toxic. Some researchers, wait for it, say it's as bad for you as booze and cigarettes. Woo! And they want sugar regulated. Senior medical correspondent Elizabeth Cohen. Now let's bring in an expert. Is following this new report. How regulated? Pretty regulated. I mean these people, it's a little bit radical, it's a little bit out there. It's three researchers writing in Nature, which is a very prestigious journal, and they say, hey we consider booze and cigarettes a sin, right? So let's have a sin tax on foods with added sugar. We're not talking about apples and stuff like that, but you know, that would be really radical. Processed sugar, added sugar, why not have a tax? Processed sugar, added sugar. This is such, John,

1:39:09 If we'd been consulting for the high fructose corn syrup industry, we could have come up with it. This is so brilliant to just call it sugar and then say it's really bad. And you can almost wait for it to come around and say, well, you know, we've got this stuff that is not sugar. It's called high fructose corn syrup. It's much better for you. And here's the one that really got me. Why not make it so that you have to be 17 to buy soda? So a tax and an age restriction just like I said on alcohol and on cigarettes. So this whole thing is set up to get you outraged at the crazy legislation that might be proposed that is not coming from lawmakers but from a couple of compromised a-holes at Nature magazine or the Journal.

1:39:55 The whole thing is set up to get you outraged so that you can have more of it. It's great. It just blows me away. And I mean, you can see this. This is a segment that has been set up. It's been scripted. They brought in the hot looking medical expert. It's like, wow, eat some sugar. You're not. It's not going to kill you. So, that's a good one. Anyway, the company is Bruins Clothing. Ah, yes, good. Bruinsclothing.com. They're in South Dakota. If you order a jacket from them, which is an inexpensive product, I believe you can get one. I got a black one with the No Agenda logo sewn on.

1:40:40 and uh... see what is the price on these i think you're like they're like this in a hundred dollars a hand made to order in other words if you you do you know you'll get a fitting you can just get my smile as my sleeves were made extra long for my yeah i had an issue added to my sleeves to and you have special pockets and there's about three or four five or six sort of uh... website interiors is website which is website the brun's clothing dot com the are you i a m s b r u n s Yes, this is good. You should get that because it's going to get very, very cold. Yes, these will be handy to own. And they can be custom, they're essentially a custom handmade product and they're nice.

1:41:31 It's like five bucks extra for for the you know longer sleeves or something it starts at $65 for a handmade dynamite jacket made and you can add it's gonna Maybe cost you another ten bucks for some add-ons, and it's gonna be you know essentially fit to you I mean you could probably go there, and they'd fit you if you wanted yeah, but I got mine It's all I'm all set I got mine. It's a I got a hoodie on mine. Oh So it's like the thing I didn't even get the most the warmest inside thing if the guy says you sweat today the one I have I'll sweat that I have to take it to Washington State because it's like it's great. It's really warm anyway, so Authorities consider sugar as empty calories. That's I mean you need sugar to live don't you am I wrong I

1:42:21 You can get you get sugar from I mean, no you you don't need sugar per se to live at all Okay process product. Oh, it's natural occurring All carbohydrates are a complex sugar. So anything you eat Let's bring in our medical expert here for a second John C. Dvorak MD. Do we need sugar in our diet? We don't need refined sugar. No Will it kill me? If you would like for example, let's say we had a tanker truck full of hundred pound bags of sugar And they were standing underneath it and the bags all bounced off. You'd probably die. Yeah, okay Coming up this weekend It is just crazy so I'm I heard the from multiple sources This is very funny. We didn't play the clip nor will I?

Obama Al Green Performance, Vocal Coaches, and Political Branding

President Obama's brief singing performance of an Al Green song at the Apollo Theater is revealed to have been a calculated branding move. Reports suggest the administration hired a vocal coach and utilized techno-experts to ensure the clip went viral with the keyword "cool" to revitalize the President's image.

barack obama· al green· apollo theater· david plouffe· branding

1:43:22 Remember when President Obama did Al Green at the Apollo? And he started singing because of course we didn't have enough X Factor on television already. Apparently this all started several weeks ago and he had a sit down with David Plouffe. Plouffe, Plouffe, what's his name? Plouffe, Plouffe. And he said, hey man, we're not cool anymore. Remember in 2008, we were the shit. We were really cool. We gotta be cool. I wanna sing at the Apollo. They brought in a vocal coach. to help him learn how to sing kind of like Al Green. They brought in a vocal coach. Oh, I didn't know that. Yes. Yeah, they brought in a coach. You got me on that. That's the information of the day. He practiced. That is that is the president has got nothing better to do. Now, are you telling me that they would bring in a vote and waste his time because he's got nothing better than one line from an Al Green song? He wanted it. Now they had 40 to 50 people in the audience who were instructed to whoop it up.

1:44:26 And they had a whole team of techno experts who immediately took the video. And if you look at the video, anywhere it's embedded, you'll see the word cool. Because that was the whole point. He wants to be cool again. That was what his request to his strategist. I want to be cool again. And go and look anywhere you'll see in the comments. Wow, our president's so cool. He's cool. It was all a setup. Vocal coach, the techno experts to go spam forums and everything and comments, oh he's so cool, he's cool. And then they actually, and if you listen to the video, and there's a tell in this too, this is no good for the show because we're not video. There's a tell, the minute he goes into a pre-rehearsed thing, he gets completely quiet, he'll look down, and then he goes into it.

1:45:19 If you watch the video and I encourage you to do it, you'll see him like well, I knew Al Green blah and then he closes down Focuses and then he launches into it because he's an actor. It's really really really disturbing So now we can look for this tell moment when he's about to do something pre previously rehearsed is when he He'd come you could see him getting a center focusing looking down and then he does whatever he's supposed to do He does that's his tell you can watch it. Now. You can see it happening Interesting, that's a good one. It's a good find I'm gonna show my support by donating to no agenda. Imagine all the people who could do that. Oh, yeah, that'd be fun

It's all these douchebag banks. Let me give you an example. I had a bank account at the San Francisco Credit Union when I was working for the government. I wanted to keep the money in there. So I had like twelve hundred bucks in there. So about, you know, I leave it in there. I get my, I don't pay much attention to it. So I decide I'm going to go either reestablish the account or I'm going to get, I go there, the money's gone. Where's the $1,200? Oh, we sent it to the state. Really? Yeah, if you keep anything inactive for more than like six months, boom, the state gets it and collects interest on it. What? Yeah, it's in there. I mean, the state had it listed, and so I just had the state send me a check. Yes. That is crazy.

1:57:14 I'm afraid to do it because with me they say oh undisclosed either it's so huge I'm gonna be a multi-millionaire or they're gonna come and yeah we've been looking for you. It could be a bunch of stock that you don't know you own. What are we gonna do with this Adam Curry stock? Send it to the state. Really? Yeah my mom had some stock. Yeah you told me this but she didn't want to do she was wary too she didn't want to like give it. It was only worth about 50 bucks. Anyway and everyone else should definitely try that.

CHAPTER 28 / 39 Discussion

Commercial Sincerity, Disability Pensions, and Valentine's Day

The hosts contrast their listener-funded model with traditional radio commercials, playing a failed audition for Frosted Flakes to demonstrate the "insincerity" of corporate ads. A moving letter from a listener on a disability pension who donated $25 is shared, and the "214" donation theme for Valentine's Day is introduced.

commercials· sincerity· disability· valentine's day· frosted flakes

2:07:12 So let's get back to where we were before the start of the year and everything will all be good. Yeah, and people want to sneak in a quick executive producer. I'm guaranteeing on Thursday you'll be able to do it effortlessly. Yeah, that's usually how it works. Before we get into this, this is the feast or famine thing is annoying. And I'm sure a lot of people, we did have one guy wrote a nasty note to us complaining about the fact that we do Birthday shout outs he thinks is a waste of time and he doesn't like the thank yous that we give Personally to each individual who gives us $50 or more. Oh, would you like to hear commercials? Let me get the the I can only find the Old Navy commercial. Maybe I should play that John No, don't play that again. Please. You haven't heard this one. It's the Old Navy commercial. Yeah, what you did is another one you did yeah Let's see if people like that better. Hold on a second Anyway, make your point while I look it up

2:08:10 We have, we've actually find it, these segments to be interesting because they do bring out some anecdotal information. We also get to communicate kind of directly with the donors. and we had a lot of people also donated anonymously and but we we don't I don't know I don't mind it and I think it it is padding to some you can fast forward through it yes really hate it yeah but there's always a tidbit into it but sometimes we have a restaurant let me ask you a question would you rather hear a You know, stuff about people loving their wives and that they're MILFs and that they're happy and they love karma. Or- This is Adam Curry for Kellogg's Frosted Flakes. Or would you rather hear this? Kellogg's Frosted Flakes gives you flakes for fuel and frosting for fun as part of a balanced breakfast. Because when you love the game, it shows. Now,

2:09:03 Another gig I didn't get I think the insincerity in your voice No, I can't sell it, but well the guy who got the gig you know if you want us to play that on the show fine Two quick mentions Mike's slob again His email Adam and John greetings get my nation Lotus land west of west coast of Canada tree huggers and potheads today I sent in the first of many donations to the no agenda show been listening for a few months without donating and that's just not cool Please give me a deducing and fire some karma

2:09:39 I think that even people who aren't no agenda listeners have an unconscious awareness that something is very wrong with the world some people buy pills to suppress their anxiety I think the money is better spent right here to bring the problem to the forefront and earn all of us some relief and I think that is a very good point don't buy meds listen to the show and support the show and then this just broke my heart see geek In the morning, Adam and John, use this story on the show if you want. I have cerebral palsy and use a wheelchair. I'm on a disability pension of $828 a month, but I just donated $25 to the best podcast in the universe. If I can donate, anyone can. And here's some karma for you. You've got karma.

2:10:24 And as a special option of course we have Valentine's Day coming up so 214 214 is your magic number because nothing says I love you more than a donation to the no agenda show. Yeah and you can do it somebody else's name and I do have Dwayne Melancon's little note here I want to just a couple things he's again Tigard Oregon who is an executive producer this completes his fourth knighthood which is worth mentioning needs to get a ring resized sorry to hear the donations have been soft I want to see you guys have to go to one show a week that's for sure on the one note about the last show you were commenting that a weatherman was the expert on a meteor sighting in Texas who better than a meteorologist to cover it good point I went through all the trouble to get that note for that that gang one guy it's a pun Dvorak.org slash N A

Do you know anything about this?

CHAPTER 30 / 39 Discussion

NAG Radio, Heirloom Tomatoes, and Technical Feedback

The hosts address listener feedback regarding the No Agenda Global (NAG) Radio stream and its alleged advertisements. The discussion shifts to an "outstanding food product" segment featuring a mutant-looking heirloom tomato from an Austin farmers' market, which is praised for its superior taste compared to store-bought varieties.

nag radio· heirloom tomatoes· austin· sustainable living· mimi

2:12:50 No. What's the No Agenda Global Radio? Where does she even find this? I think Gitmo Slave and Mr. Oil were working on changing and Sir Paul, they were gonna... Look, I don't run the stream. We have no time for that. And I think they changed it from knowage into stream.com. It still goes to this, you know, you still use that address, but then it goes to nagradio.com and they had a whole new website. And did it not work? Is that what? She says the worst part of this global radio is there are typos all over the place. I especially resent the ads that show up with radio loyalty. What is that? They're distracting, creepy, and if you guys are supposedly avoiding ads,

2:13:32 Not going corporate, someone better shake the crap out of Mr. Oil and give him the news. Let me see. She's irked. Nag Radio. Is that Mimi, your Mimi, our Mimi, our lovely Mimi? Yeah, the Mimi. Uh, Nag, no agenda global radio. Well it has the stream player on it, does that not work? Oh my gosh, she keeps getting all these crap out of Mr. Oil and give him the... Yeah, it works. It sounds good. Sounds pretty good. Yes, sounds good to me. Mimi, what is she using Explorer for? I have no idea. I don't see any ads. I see Support Us Player. It looks pretty good actually. Check it out. NAGRadio.com. Looks good to me. NAGRadio. It's got all of the No Agenda News Network articles.

2:14:21 This looks good! She was grousing at me yesterday about the show having too much political news. What is she- oh, okay. Well, Mimi, pay attention. Do you hear this, John? That is a knife. And I am using this knife to cut, hold on, into an heirloom tomato I purchased yesterday at the Austin- It's out of season. It's the last ones. An heirloom toma- it looks like a mutant ball from hell. It's got like, it looks like it has cancer. Which of course is the way a tomato is supposed to look. But these tomatoes, which by the way, saving the seeds, I can plant them and I can grow my own. Listen to this, John. That is an outstanding product. It's gotta be a hot house. It's, it's, no, it's grown indoors. It is. But it is a complete, it's like, of course a tomato is a fruit.

2:15:25 I had an argument with Miss Mickey about that yesterday. But I'm actually eating it like a fruit. That's how lovely this outstanding product is. If you are in Austin on Saturday, go to 4th Street, go to the Austin Sustainable Living Market, and the guy might have a few more next week. But they are outstanding as a food product. I don't see any ads. I don't know what she's talking about. I don't see typos, I don't see ads, they talk about no commercials. She must be been... There must be a bootleg site or something that she's landed on. Maybe you need to service her. It's big but it's not that long.

2:16:09 So, whoa, touchy subject there. She's in Washington. Yeah, but so, well, get a train, man. Go up there and do your business or something. That concludes our servicing and outstanding food product segments. All right, so I think we do our, yeah, okay. I think we're all caught up. Yep, we're all, oh my God. That tomato is so delicious. I mean, you see a tomato. That's not a real tomato. This is a tomato. One that looks all kooky. It looks, you know, it really looks... I don't know if I showed it to my daughter and said, here's tomato. She'll go like, I don't want to eat that tomato. It looks weird. It's got bumps and lumps. No, no, no. This has like tumors. Oh, it's got the bumpy, lumpy tumors. Yeah.

CHAPTER 31 / 39 Discussion

Anonymous, FBI Conference Call, and Indecent Images

The hacking group Anonymous reportedly intercepted a conference call between the FBI and Scotland Yard. The hosts dismiss the significance of the leak, noting the call mostly consisted of mundane logistics and a brief mention of "indecent images" related to a prosecution. The event is characterized as a low-level PR stunt rather than a major security breach.

anonymous· fbi· scotland yard· hacking· conference call

2:16:58 Just devoured it. I had miss Mickey bring it down Did you put salt on it? No, no, no, no, you can do that. But no no, no this these are so sweet They're so lovely and luscious. It's just it's orgasmic. I tell you Okay, so a couple things on the techno expert front that we need to talk about because they're really ramping it up here and in Gitmo nation East the first thing is this totally bogus You know the whole thing anonymous anonymous by the way supports the show we had five members of anonymous support this show which is Just so you know yeah, there's a movement called anonymous, and yes, there's people who do things, but it's a beautiful name That's why they love to propagate it because anonymous can easily be Hillary Lucifer Clinton's techno experts doing crap and then we have saying they're anonymous right and

2:17:50 And they don't know. There's no way of knowing. And now they stole the conference call between the Scotland Yard and the FBI. And I have a 20 second clip that shows you what great work is being done here. It's the whole thing is so idiotically stupid and such a dumb PR stunt. but you know these guys going after hackers yeah how listen prosecution council like that application uh... in chambers are a without defense knowing uh... to seek a way to try and uh... practice and timing that might look suspicious how much time do you think it's reasonable that they'll be a lot of content that i'd like to we have got to run queries in decent images

2:18:35 Yeah, because that's all you do. Hey, you got porn? We're gonna arrest you. But he didn't even- it was indecent images. This is ridiculous. Excuse me. Tomato. This is completely... Doctor! We have a sick man here. But you know what I mean? It's like this is completely ridiculous the way they're setting this up and the BBC... I gotta play you the intro to this piece.

CHAPTER 32 / 39 Discussion

Dark Web Propaganda, Bitcoins, and BBC Reporting

The BBC is criticized for a sensationalist report on the "Dark Web," which frames anonymizing software and Bitcoins as tools exclusively for criminals. The report details an undercover purchase of DMT to prove the existence of an online black market. The hosts argue this coverage is intended to demonize online privacy and encryption.

dark web· bbc· bitcoins· tor· online black market

2:19:17 They have a whole piece on the dark web. The dark web. The dark web is where all the evil anonymous people live, but not just anonymous. It could be your neighbor on the dark web. Listen to this intro. Now the internet is transforming our lives. There is little dispute about that. Do we know enough about the dark side of the web? A world where criminals can't be traced, where you can shop for illegal goods and where customers go by code names. Our reporter Adrian Goldberg set out to shine a light in the internet shadows to discover just what you can buy on the online black market. Oh, the dark web. The dark... and this piece, I don't even want to play it.

2:20:02 The dark web is used like 20 times in this p- Have you seen this thing? No. You wanna hear it? I have heard about it, but I haven't seen it, no. You interested? Yeah, play a little bit. Millions of shoppers have abandoned the high street in favor of online shopping. But just like in the real world, alongside the everyday goods available on the internet, an online black market has also sprung up. Getting on the dark web isn't straightforward. Sites where class A drugs are sold are beyond the reach of normal search engines. Instead, users download sophisticated but... What kind of bullcrap is that? Beyond the reach of online search engines? What is that bullshit? ...readily available software which makes the location of their computer and the sites they visited virtually impossible to trace. You're very bad if you can't be traced.

2:20:54 By buying a virtual currency like bitcoins, innocently used by gamers and others on- Who still uses bitcoin? You're out of business. This is like total- chat room, raise your hand. Is this a real old production you're listening to or is this some old thing from last year? Brand new. Brand new. Brand new! It's propaganda! The first layer of secrecy is introduced. Bitcoin transactions aren't linked to names, allowing people to buy and sell without being identified. Using the downloaded software, we found sites where class A drugs, fake driving licenses and even guns were on sale. Yeah, stuff you can get anywhere but it's the dark web, the dark web, very dark.

2:21:41 We paid in bitcoins for what was advertised as DMT. Give me that address. An illegal hallucinogenic class A drug. When they were tested in the lab, the drugs were found to be genuine. The dark web uses software that anonymizes users by bouncing communications between a network of volunteers around the world. This makes tracing sites you visited or the location of your computer almost impossible. We don't know. This is very important because You know, while everyone's up, well of course the SOPA, PIPA, Open thing is now passed and everyone, you know, everyone's Twitter icon is back to normal, Facebook pages are back, Wikipedia is no longer black, everything's all good and hunky-dory, we won! Woo! Yeah! Meanwhile, what's happening?

CHAPTER 33 / 39 Discussion

FBI Tripwire Program, Internet Cafe Surveillance

The Bureau of Justice Assistance and the FBI have issued guidelines for internet cafe owners to report "suspicious activity" under the code word "Tripwire." Suspicious behaviors include paying with cash, shielding screens, switching SIM cards, or traveling "illogical distances" to use a computer. This is viewed as an expansion of the domestic surveillance state.

fbi· tripwire· internet cafes· surveillance· suspicious activity

2:22:26 Here is the Bureau of Justice Assistance who sent out a document. This is a part of the Federal Bureau of Investigations. If you run an internet cafe or if you are in an internet cafe, the Joint Regional Intelligence Center, by the way you can call them, you just have to mention code word TRIPWIRE. It says it right here on the document. Nuts insane these people are like I am man I'm gonna go rat on this guy because you know I got to call this number and call mention tripwire You need to consider people suspicious in the following cases people who one are overly concerned about privacy and Make attempts to shield the screen from view of others Yeah, like when I'm trying to access my banking account or something be suspicious of people who pay cash

2:23:19 or use credit cards in different names. Be suspicious of people who apparently use tradecraft, lookout, blocker, or someone else to distract employees. Suspicious people act nervous or exert suspicious behavior inconsistent with activities, like if you have Tourette's syndrome. People are suspicious who are observed switching SIM cards and cell phones or use multiple cell phones, which is about every single executive in New York City. Because they got the Blackberry in their iPhone. And be suspicious of people who travel illogical distances to use internet cafes. Maybe because they have no internet. Activities on computer are suspicious if they indicate

2:24:06 Residential based internet provider, signs on to Comcast, AOL, etc. Uses anonymizers, portals, or other means to shield IP address. Suspicious or coded writings like in the morning, hey citizen. Use of code word sheets, cryptic ledgers, etc. I mean this is the stuff that we're... be an SS Nazi and spy on people and if they switch their SIM card, call 888-705-JRIC and mention the code word tripwire. And what's happening in Gitmo Nation East? Well, here's how they're going to do it with the Olympics. Because it's going to be so busy, this is the Homeland Department, it's going to be so crazy busy with people on the internet, ISPs may introduce data caps during peak times to try and spread the load, or loading actually they say, and give a more equal service to their entire customer base. It is possible that internet services may be slower during the games.

2:25:07 ISPs have been engaged in the planning process so demands of the system can be understood and managed. Here's what's gonna happen. No internet for you. And when the Olympics go away, it's gonna be the same thing. This is all a trick. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Because the only... the cell networks, by the way, are gonna be fine. No problem. It's the internet that's gonna be slow. So everyone's distracted and happily on their way now. Oh, we defeat them. No SOPA. No soap, not gonna happen. Meanwhile this is taking place right out in plain view. Also there's HR 1981 protecting children from internet pornographers act of 2011. Oh yeah that'll be loaded with stuff. Yeah well it's not. You can't go wrong this is the way to pass all the bills that ever get passed from now on should be anti

2:25:54 Child porn laws and then you can put anything you want in there because nobody's gonna say diddly about it. Status. This bill was considered in committee which has recommended it to be considered by the house as a whole. Explanation. Although it has been placed on a calendar of business, the order in which legislation is considered and voted on is determined by the majority party leadership. Keep in mind that sometimes the text of one bill is incorporated into another bill and in those cases the original bill as it would appear here but doesn't would seem to be abandoned. There's no text. You can't read it yet. Time to turn my Twitter icon black. I'm sure when it comes out you'll be reading it. Yeah, of course. Turn your icon black. It's time. Woo! Icon black, icon black. Yeah. Black. Icon black. I think we should have Pewce. Make my icon black. Pewce?

ACTA Ratification, Bank Holiday Scams, and European Riots

The Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA) has been ratified by the European Union, sparking protests in Poland and Slovenia. A cyberattack on Slovenia's largest bank, attributed to Anonymous, is suspected of being a "false flag" to cover for bank insolvency. The hosts suggest that future bank failures will be blamed on hackers to prevent public panic.

acta· european union· slovenia· anonymous· bank holiday

2:26:47 Yeah, puce should be the color. The next... What is puce? What color is puce? Revolution. What color is puce? Type in puce and then... I don't know how to spell puce. P-U-I-S-S-E, I think. That's a good question. Oh, well that's why I brought it up. Type in puce and then hit images. P-U-I-S-S-E, is that it? So, um... Let me see. Oh, you, um... We can do that in a second. I caught something while we're on this topic. So ACTA was ratified, the Anti-Copyright Trademark Act, whatever it is, the thing that the president wouldn't tell us about because there would be such an outrage. It was passed by the European Union and there are actual riots going, well protests, let's put it that way, in Poland, Slovenia and other places in Euro land about this act being passed and I'm like

2:27:46 Why is such a big deal being made of this? And then I realized it's conditioning for the collapse of the euro. And if you listen to this report, I will not spoil it, you tell me if you can hear it. Protesters gathered in the Slovenian capital on Saturday to demonstrate against an international treaty meant to protect intellectual property on the internet. The protesters in Ljubljana are angry that Slovenia signed the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement or ACTA in Tokyo last week. There were also demonstrations in Greece and Poland with many feeling ACTA will lead to internet censorship. Well, in many countries like for example East, they don't have freedom for speech, internet, news, nothing. And we can see the consequences. So in long term I think it can happen.

2:28:35 anywhere. Expressing its support for the anti-actor movement, hacking group Anonymous claimed responsibility for disrupting Slovenia's largest bank. NLB's website was down for most of the day, causing problems for customers trying to withdraw money from ATMs. That is the propaganda. They show a shot of an ATM that says not available. It didn't say like, it didn't have like Anonymous with a little nice song playing. Yeah, this is bullcrap. That's a setup. It's like oh sounds like it. Yeah when there's no money coming out of the ATM blame it on anonymous Instead of your bank being bankrupt just blame it on anonymous. That's all good. It's not a bad strategy well the strategy used to be the bank holiday idea right where

2:29:24 Oh, well, it will collapse everything on a bank holiday. Now I think it's they're gonna it things are gonna start collapsing and then any bank can just say well, it's anonymous man. They hacked into us and we'll be offline for a while. Yeah, yeah, you're laughing but I'm not. I think it's exactly what you I think you spotted a actual trend. You know, this is blame anonymous for everything. It's the meme, man. And they put that little picture of the guy, you know, the big news of course was they hacked into some, ooh, so secret conference call between the FBI and Scotland. That's shoddy. As JC, Buzzkill Jr. mentions, he says, this sounds like any crappy conference call that's ever existed in the history of business to business conference calls. A bunch of guys shooting the shit about, hey, so how you doing?

2:30:10 No, we're gonna have a meeting in tomorrow. I think those guys are screwy You know, I mean, it's just a bunch of nothing you were here this morning when I played that clip right from the conference call No, that was the clip about the porn that I just played for you like five minutes ago Oh, then I was five minutes ago. Yeah. Oh I didn't hear that part of the clip when I listen When I listened to the tape, I'm telling you, I was so bored after about two minutes, I never listened to much more of it. So there was a substance in there? That was it. We got the guy's porn. That's it. That was it. That was the whole thing. That was it. That thing went on for like an hour. That was the only substance in it.

MTV Europe Music Awards, Viacom Synergy, and Snooki

The MTV Europe Music Awards in Belfast are criticized for featuring exclusively American acts and presenters who are all under the Viacom corporate umbrella. A clip of Snooki and JWoww from "Jersey Shore" presenting an award is used to illustrate the perceived decline of European cultural exports.

So they have as their first like guest presenters and you have to listen to the crazy thing that this one of the two you're gonna be surprised the first guest presenters that really bring it home they have Selena Gomez as the hostess and she announces the first presenters and this is like to bring it home to the Europeans that how important this whole award thing is to the to Europe and here we go. This is your show. So many of you around the world have voted for your favorite acts to win one of these awards. So let's bring out your first two presenters. They've come all

It's Jersey Shore's in the house! Yeah! The most magical experience of being at a live music You can't be recreated! We're going to die! The single most important thing about being at a live music is that it can't be recreated. What the- what does that even mean? Let's just listen to that. Was that Snooki? Yeah. The single most magical experience of being at a live music is you can't be recreated!

2:33:12 I bet there are people in Europe who watch this going, could you please just drone me now? I mean, I'd rather have a drone kill me with a hellfire missile than have to watch that. And the crowd goes wild! We're so doomed. We're so doomed. I'm surprised you missed it. Well, I was tracking, a lot of people sent me this when I was tracking this. Of course, the chief executive officer of Micron, Steve Appleton, died in a plane crash in Boise, Idaho.

Steve Appleton Plane Crash, Micron Technology, and Sabotage

Steve Appleton, CEO of Micron Technology, died in a crash of his experimental Lancair aircraft in Boise. The hosts analyze the cockpit audio, noting that Appleton had aborted a previous takeoff the same day. While the crash is attributed to pilot error during an engine failure, the 3% jump in Micron's stock price following his death raises questions about potential corporate sabotage.

2:33:52 Whenever there's a plane crash these days, everyone's like, two to the head, two to the head! I'm like, it's not always two to the head. Yeah, there are actual plane crashes that aren't two to the head. There are plane crashes. The thing that is kind of interesting though, that the stock jumped up 3%. Yeah, that's a bad sign. That's not good. And within hours of this news, they announced Mark Adams, I'm sorry, Mark Durkin, Am I saying this right? It sounds right. No, Mark Adams I think is going to be... but within hours they replaced the guy. Within hours, which is a little insensitive. So I'm looking at this and then I'm seeing... remember Greenhill? That's the company that advised... what was it? Didn't they advise on Solyndra and the two bankers from Greenhill and company? They died in a plane crash.

2:34:49 Maybe here's the report green. Oh, yeah, right those. Yeah, right. That was a plane crash. Yeah, they Their numbers are up 42% since those guys died. It's kind of interesting the correlation between important people at a company dying and their stock price improving and I put it I do not put it past anyone in the financial world to kill anyone for any for any menial reason. Not when billions are involved and people are now becoming overnight billionaires we're not talking about the olden days where someone was like a millionaire overnight we're talking about in obscene amounts of money. Yeah

2:35:25 Yeah, so they'll kill anyone for any reason. There's a good reason. Obscene amounts of money. That's the reason right there. So the Appleton thing, what most people heard on the news, and I'm a pilot and airman, I like looking into this, is the audio of course which was recorded of the crash. And here's the situation is, Appleton took off in his Lancare which of course is labeled everywhere experimental aircraft crazy fucking should be John Denver Lancare is it's quite an outstanding aircraft it is it's a hot rod it is and this is it was a pressurized version to me you can go to 30,000 feet there's 300 over 300 knots I mean it's an amazing aircraft is beautiful I've flown him

2:36:15 It is labeled experimental because it essentially is a kit airplane, but this is not like, you know, Steve Appleton in his garage gluing this thing together and there is a certification process, but it's labeled experimental for a number of technical reasons, which doesn't mean it's necessarily safe or unsafe, but it's, please don't be fooled into thinking, oh, you know, just some crazy like, you know, like some, remember we used to make model airplanes and we'd dope the wings? Remember that? You put paint like paper over the frame and then you paste dope on it. That's what it was called dope It was the it was a paint. Yeah, but it was called dope. You have to dope the wings and it would smell great yeah, exactly so he takes off he probably reaches an altitude of about 200 feet and Well, I'll play the clip for you, then I'll give you my assessment, but then I'll play the other clip which you didn't hear

2:37:10 Okay, so what happened there is and I cut out the the takeoff clearance that he received and But I calculated the time from his takeoff clearance to when he made that call and he probably couldn't have been more like two, three hundred feet in altitude. If he had an engine failure, which I believe he had, he made a horrible mistake.

2:37:56 If you have an engine failure, on takeoff you learn you're going down straight ahead. Do not, under any circumstances, do not try to turn back and make it to the airport. This is like rule number one. Do not turn back. You are going to land straight ahead. Wherever you're going to land, hopefully there's a field, hopefully there's some room. If you make a turn, you're going to lose too much altitude and you will die, which is what happened. I will also point out Steve Appleton crashed previously and he punctured his lung, he wrecked his liver in a stunt plane. He's an excellent pilot but a bit of hubris there I think and he overestimated what he could do in his land care. So he had a crash in 2007. What you didn't hear is he already had aborted a takeoff before this fateful event. Here's the audio of that.

2:38:47 So he had taken off previously He noticed a problem, went back to the airport, requested landing. He said, I'm gonna land, I got a problem. Said I'll take care of it, went back to his hangar and whatever he was supposed to take care of, he didn't. Could this be sabotage? Extremely possible. But if he had a problem, I think this guy was just a hot dog. And he was like, yeah, I can fly with this, whatever, you know, maybe just the light is flickering or whatever.

2:39:35 But you'll not hear that all you hear is a discredit of general aviation in general however in light of all this analysis I told miss Mickey I Will never again Go on a scheduled flight in a small aircraft if I'm just gonna show up somewhere and just you know fly that's okay Because I do believe that this is being used with increasing frequency to kill people And as you pointed out, John, billions of dollars are at stake. So this guy maybe had something seriously wrong. Well, in your case, I don't see that, but this other guy, yes. Well, it depends on... I don't know if... Yeah, you're right. No one gives a crap about me. Yet. Yeah. No, you're probably right. Anyway, so the only thing that's... I might just do it to make an example out of you. Yeah?

Greek Debt Crisis, Minimum Wage Cuts, and the Troika

Greece faces a final deadline to accept a 130 billion euro bailout package, which requires a 25% cut to the national minimum wage. There is a discrepancy between reported wage figures, with some sources citing 751 euros per month. The "Troika" (EU, ECB, and IMF) is pushing for these austerity measures as a condition for continued funding.

greece· eurozone· troika· minimum wage· bailout

2:40:29 Well, the thing that's just disturbing is that stock goes up and profits go up. Yeah, I know, there's something fishy when that happens. Well, not fishy. Generally speaking, when something bad happens to a CEO, the stock does not go up. No. And all I've got left is the Eurozone. While everyone here in the United States of Gitmo Nation will be distracted, I think we're probably going to see, I'm going to guess, 80 million people will watch the Super Bowl. That's gonna be my estimate. What's the number on that? I sent you a link to this website that has all the stupid bets you can make. When did you send this? I sent it after I sent the clips. Scroll down, it's the subject line. Got it. And if you start looking at these bets, these are bets that include, and the odds for these bets include what color would the Gator aid be that they dump on the winning coach. You can actually bet on that.

2:41:28 Which seems like the easiest bet to rig. So is one of the bets is how many people will watch? I think there's over and under on the number of people viewing and I think it's... The problem is there's so many of these bets. Total receptions by a sustained touchdown. Who will throw the first touchdown? Blah blah blah. Halftime bets. You know, odds to win MVP, let's see, what would you call it? Over 117 million viewers is minus 150. Under 117 million viewers plus 110. So that's the over and under and generally speaking these sorts of bets, the odds makers nail it. So 80 is way low. I'm sticking with 80. And the Giants will win.

2:42:20 But that's okay, we can disagree on that. But while that's happening... Wait a minute. Since you're putting this down on the prison... Who gives a crap? I don't give a shit! Yeah, put it in the book. I don't give a crap because what's gonna be happening is... The Euro. Greece has their this is the deadline today is the final final final final deadline We've already had a couple of this is your last chance now. It's the final final Depending on what happens today will determine whether Papa Dame was will tender his resignation tomorrow He was already bailing out no no he will tender his resignation tomorrow if they don't make it happen. What is it all about?

2:43:03 Of course they need the 130 billion euro extra bailout. They have not signed the paperwork. The reason why, this will blow you away man, the reason why is they want to, okay what is, they want a 25% cut in minimum wage. Yeah, that's a classic. Do you know what the minimum wage is? In Greece? Yeah, gross, the gross minimum wage. So before taxes. Tell me. 751 euros a month. So take home is like 375? $3.75. 375 euros a month? Yeah. Well no wonder people are pissed off. And they want to cut that? Well I'm looking at minimum wage Greece public data and that number that you're giving us has increased to 800 something a month.

2:44:07 So I think you're off on this one. Well, I'm, I'm, okay. Well, I'm reading here the minimum wage $751 a month. Mark, where are you reading that? On, uh, let me see what this is. I think this is Reuters. I don't know. I mean, but, okay, $750 or $800. I mean, It's $876 as of July. So why would they be giving a bogus number that's so far off? and that's euros. Interesting, I don't know why they're giving a bogus... What, where are you getting this from? Minimum... Google.com slash public data. And I'm... No, seriously, I'm looking around and it's all over the map. The minimum wage in Greece was $559 back in 2005. Here, I see here from the Wikipedia

2:44:56 751 euros and 39. Yeah, but that is not from the latest months. I mean, Google has a chart showing it going up and up and up every month. Yeah, their source is Eurostat. Okay. So who are you gonna believe here, dude? Eurostat or Wikipedia? I think the people who are actually writing Wikipedia are probably entering the correct amount. It'd be Clinton's folks for all you know. It's not a lot of money, let's put it that way. But to cut it by a quarter, 25%, yeah no kidding. So the troika is all over this and if it doesn't happen then it could be all over. And I have now, you've turned me into a nut job.

Baltic Dry Index, Economic Leading Indicators

The Baltic Dry Index, which tracks the cost of shipping raw materials, has plummeted from over 11,000 to under 600. This 20-to-1 drop is viewed as a major leading indicator of a global economic collapse. The hosts warn that the stock market typically follows this index with a four-week lag, suggesting a potential crash by mid-March.

baltic dry index· commodities· shipping· stock market· recession

2:45:46 I've been tracking this Baltic dry index. You freaking me out, man. This is a freakout. I told you. Yeah, I don't think we explained that properly on the last show because even after the show, you and I spoke for a few minutes and you were like, look at this thing. So it was at like 16,000. I think 12,000, 11,000 something. Right, and now it's under 600. Yeah, it's over, yeah, like a 20 to 1 drop. And what this does is it represents the movement of commodities around the world. Is that a fair assessment? Yes, and it reflects movement of foodstuff, raw materials, coal, coke, steel,

2:46:29 unprocessed steel, scrap metal. I think the coke is moving just fine. I don't think that's the problem. And rice and wheat and I assume petroleum too. And yeah it's down to nothing. I mean there's a bunch of variables you have to consider and which is for example they felt that the flooding in Australia took place in the coal mining areas and so coke wasn't gonna be exported from Australia and that was accounting for some of it. And then because of that big boom that took place in 2007, 2008, the whole bunch of new ships were built. So there's too much capacity and not enough product. But it seems to me that that thing pretty well marks the way the stock market goes except recently. And recently the stock market's going up and that thing's going down and that thing is like a 30 day leading indicator. So the stock market should collapse

2:47:22 in about between now and middle of March. Did you bring this up with Horowitz on the show? We'll do it on Tuesday. Well, you might want to do the show on Monday and this whole thing could come apart before then. It's gone so fast. But if you look at it, the last time it's now going below the 2008 numbers. Did that happen before or after the Lehman collapse when the Baltic Dry Index went down? I don't know. I mean all I know is that when it went down it was four weeks later that the stock market collapsed and the housing crisis became came to the fore and the whole economy went in the toilet. Took four weeks. Wow. Yeah, it's a scary index. It's just scary. So anyway, while everyone's jumping for joy over this great unemployment number, I think they should be looking at this instead. Except for the one million people who don't count anymore. Hey citizen, you don't count anymore. Get out of my way, you non-human resource.

French Breathalyzer Mandate, Sarkozy, and Sign-off

French President Nicolas Sarkozy has announced a mandate requiring every car in France to be equipped with a breathalyzer starting in Spring 2012. The hosts mock the regulation, suggesting it will lead to technical glitches and prevent sober drivers from starting their vehicles in emergencies. The show concludes with a French translation of "please blow the car."

2:48:24 You got another clip you want to play us out with or what are you? We're way over time here man. We're like a little running really late. Yeah, we had a we are you know the show just ends when it ends well, okay, then then let me end on this note We know as a fact it is a fact fact It is a fact that the French do not support this show and Oh yeah. We have one guy. The French hate anything American. We got one guy. Yeah, one guy and he's not in France. But the French do not support this show. And what comes around goes around, my friends. Nicolas Sarkozy, le mijette de Napoleon de France, announced yesterday every car in France will now be mandated to be equipped with a breathalyzer

2:49:25 Starting in the spring of 2012, your car will not start unless you blow it. LOL. How about that? I'm surprised the French put up with this crap. Well, just goes to show they're all asleep like yes Jean-Claude I think it is a very good idea from a president mijette Sarkozy Napoleon so we do we have 4,000 deaths per year He is saving people so blow my car save a human resource. This is very very good Jean-Claude you are against this

2:50:09 It won't work. What do you mean it won't? Well, it won't. I mean there's too many glitches in a system like that. I mean some you'll be sober as a judge and you blow into it and it will say you're drunk. I mean you can just see this kind of thing happening. The president's off. You'll be in an emergency, a bunch of guys are coming at you with knives and guns and they're shooting in the air, you're freaked out, you're like, your adrenaline's pumping, you jump in your car, you grab the keys and then you gotta... Please blow... What is blow in French? Give me Google Translate. Thank you, this is the only thing I like Google for, is it maps and translate. Hold on a second, where's translate?

2:50:52 Translate I think I'd look up the word exhale, please. No, it's funnier if you say blow, please Blow the car and I'm translating from French from English to hey, I I can only translate to... Spanish or Arabic. What is that? You got it set up wrong. What are you doing with Arabic on your machines? Please blow the car. Wait, wait, wait, wait.

2:51:35 Please jump the car. Please jump the car. This concludes this week's broadcast of Playtime at Radio. I'm telling you, s'il vous plaît, sautez la voiture. Yeah, copy that and make it a regular. S'il vous plaît, sautez la voiture. Can we do different voices or is that all we got? I think that's it. I think we better quit while we're ahead.
