Acquisition Malpractice

00:00 What is this world coming to? Adam Curry, John C. DeVore. It's Thursday, February 9, 2012. Time for your Gitmo Nation Media Assassination Episode 381. This is no agenda. Spending my days with Leviathan here at Camp MoFo in the capital of the drone star state. In the morning, everybody from Austin, Texas, I'm Adam Curry. And plain and simple from Northern Silicon Valley, I'm John C. DeVore. It's Crackpot and Buzzkill. In the morning. Hey Stinger nice. Oh hey John. Hey in the morning to you Adam Curry in the morning to all ships that see boots on the ground and feet in the air. You should try something new one of these days on your in the morning in the morning to you by the way and then I'll just- In the morning to you Adam Curry. In the morning to you John C. Dvorak and in the morning to

00:52 All of our... You should try something new. You should try something new. It's always the same thing. Let me say in the morning everybody at noagenestream.com, noagenestchat.net, they're in the chat room. Sounds familiar. Yes, we've got all of our human resources lined up, charged up and ready to go. This is what you say every time. I know, that's why if you say something different, maybe I'll say something different. You know, we should mix it up a bit. You know, go crazy. Did you tweet because there's like no one listening? Well, no one listened to my tweet then. Did I push the button? Did you actually push the button? Let me see, we got 600 people. That's low. It is low. Well, it's a Thursday. Give people a chance. That's right. People who work for a living. Unlike us. We don't work for a living. My goodness, I'd almost do this show for free.

01:43 Yeah, it says right here at no agenda stream calm should be streaming the latest no agenda. Oh, I see what I? Oh, you didn't press go no. No I got it here I just put the Hashtag in front of it so somebody clicks on tonight like really good. Oh You didn't you didn't tweeter it like it's too hard to cut and paste you tweeted it wrong man Hey, by the way, mr. Backpedal of the century I saw your tweet the other day and You're like, uh, I've reexamined all the fractals and I was right. Yeah, of course you're wrong. Did I call this the guy who never watches a single game at all during the entire year except for the Super Bowl? Yeah, I call you how stupid sports and I called it. I said giants are gonna win. And then even after the show, you said to me, by the way, man, you're wrong. I've got all the fractals all figured out.

02:36 That's exactly what you said. This is not only a lie but a very poor imitation of my voice. I'll give you the poor imitation, but you actually did, you said before we hung up, you said... By the way, you're wrong on that. Yes you did. Oh, you lied. You lied. You're a horrible man. This is some sort of dream you had. No, no, no. Or a vivid dream probably. I can't believe you're doing this. After the show we did a little deconstruction of the show and then we hung you went on your way I don't remember talking about No, we didn't you said oh by the way before you okay. I'm done you say yeah Oh, but by the way, you're totally wrong on the Giants thing That's exactly what you said But like you know like not even on the air but off the air though the five minutes we talked privately you still had to reiterate that I was gonna be wrong and

03:21 Anyway, it doesn't matter. So what happened with your fractal theory? Well, here's what happened. I subscribed to the fractal theory and I was like, the fractal theory was fine except when I really started looking at it. I had these fractals I had drew there. I just basically made them up. There weren't any real fractals here. For one thing, Eli Manning's got no relationship to his brother. Wait, let me give you the fractals. And I said that Brady needs to win four Super Bowls to match Joe Montana, but he's already won three and lost one. Montana never lost one, so the fractal's broken right there. And the other thing is, this game was an exact fractal model of the last time the two teams played, with the Giants winning in the last minute. So it was just that I was just wishful thinking, I'd created these imaginary fractals and I was convinced that that's the way the game would go, but I was wrong. Okay, good, because I don't give a crap about football. I mean, you know I don't. But you care about the fractals. Yes, of course, if the fractal theory is broken then we have a much bigger problem.

04:23 So you just, but apparently for some reason you made up the fractal. I kind of pushed the limits on what, you know, on the whole thing. Anyway, I'm glad I watched the game for a number of reasons. Well, it was very important because we had a very important, first of all, you were right about the viewership. It was a little lower than the hundred and seventeen so if we'd done the hundred and seventeen million It would have been the over under under would have won because there's a hundred and eleven I think right The total number which is bogus which advertisers don't buy on that, but it doesn't matter when you know 168 million a trillion people are watching this telecast live you watch you watch during the the Grammys this weekend It'll be a billion people are watching around the globe. They always say that bullcrap, and it's just not true. I

05:13 But it is very important, it is a very important moment for the president to Mind control everybody as we're all nice and sauced up and we're Which is a good time to message yeah, listen the message so last year a lot of grease eating Sausages with a lot of grease and you're drinking a lot of alcohol a lot of high ready to be a mess a lot of high fructose corn syrup Dinner People like yeah, man, that's everything they say is true. I Know it's alright So last year I think they had Bill O'Reilly from the Fox News Network who was who? No one really a lot of people like I didn't like that interview and so and the administration I'm sure didn't so they got the calmest pussycat of all Matt Lauer who I know who on a very very Cold day winter's day in New York actually hosted a few vh1 shows. This is how I know the guy And I hung out with him once at an airport

06:14 And he's just, he's just a, he's not a journalist. Anyway, so he gets the gig to go speak with the president. Did you see this particular interview, John? Or were you fast forwarding? No, of course not. Oh, okay. Three short clips, very interesting wordage, words do matter. Listen to what the president says as Matt Lauer asks him about, of course, Israel and their imminent attack on Iran. It seems now the Israelis are signaling that they may act and conduct a strike inside Iran at their nuclear sites. sooner than later. Do they have your full support for that raid? I don't think that Israel has made a decision on what they need to do. I think they, like us, believe that Iran has to stand out on its nuclear weapons program. Did you hear the little word thing? Did you hear it there? Besides that? No, he said instead of... What he's trying to communicate is I don't think Israel's made a decision about what they're going to do, but that's not what he says.

07:12 He says something else, listen again. Say it again. I don't think that Israel has made a decision on what they need to do. What they need to do. They haven't made a decision on what they need to do. What they're gonna do, but what they need to do. What they need to do. I thought, words matter. Yeah, you're right. It's a good one. It's a good catch. Now, this was kind of funny. So Matt Lauer tries to do a little human interest in his six minutes of interview. Like, you know, are your kids or are they all jacked up about what's the quarterback? Tom Brady. Tom Brady? Is that right? Yeah, Tom Brady and Eli Manning were the two quarterbacks. Yeah, but Tom Brady is the guy who's with... He's got the model girlfriend. Right. So are the Obama girls all jacked up about him? Are they all hot and saucy? You know, that's... Are the Obama women, are they like hot for him? Do they have posters on the wall?

08:04 This is how our president... uh... handles parenthood i'm gonna look for a great gift what about the ladies in the obama household do they feel about tom brady the same way ladies all around the country feel about this guy i think they know he's a good-looking guy there's no doubt about it is their pot perhaps a poster of tom brady somewhere in the east wing dot you know they haven't been the girls thirteen ten they're not quite at the age yet where they start uh... putting up the picnic pictures of guys yet uh... justin bieber when when that happens i will uh... i i i may Call some executive privilege and say that's not appropriate.

08:51 But things like if I see that I may have to call some executive privilege. No just drone your kids, dude That's how you the drummer send in the mother-in-law who lives in the White House. Yeah, well, I don't forget it I'm like I never want to be president if that's part of the deal It's the only time it's ever happened that I know of. Yeah, and then of course you were absolutely spot on. You called this a couple episodes ago where you said the new campaign for Obama is we're only half done. We're not there yet. We need to go for the second half. We need, you can't stop us now. And this was the real message.

09:30 that the president communicated. And it's a very distinct shirt because it has little, uh, you know, it's like a, like a checked shirt. The exact same shirt! Like the guy only has one football shirt or something. It's his football shirt. Really weird. Lucky football shirt. It's not even a good looking shirt. It's like, it just says, it just says I'm a nerd. Anyway, it was just interesting that it was the exact same shirt. I mean if I was watching that there, I'd say, hey by the way, dude, don't you have any other wardrobe? That was three years ago, it's the same stinky shirt. Talked about the state of the economy which was in dire straits and you said this to me, quote, if I don't have this done in three years then it's going to be a one term proposition.

10:20 You got good news on Friday in terms of jobs, the unemployment rate went down to 8.3%. But I think if you go out on the street and you ask average Americans, is the recovery done? Overwhelmingly, they will tell you it is not. So do you deserve a second term? I deserve a second term, but we're not done. Look, when you and I sat down, we were losing 750,000 jobs a month. In fact, we had found out just a few days before we sat down that we had lost that month 750,000 jobs. Now we're creating 250,000. We've created 3.7 million jobs over the last 23 months. We've created the most jobs since 2005. The most manufacturing jobs since... And by the way, wasn't it saved or created?

11:02 They dropped that meme apparently. What happened to all that? It's saved or created. Now it's just created, not even saved. 1990. But we're not finished. And we've got to not only... We're not finished. Boost up American manufacturing so that not just the auto industry but all American manufacturing is building again and selling overseas. We've got to make sure that we're pushing American energy and that includes not just oil and gas but clean energy. We've got to make sure that the skills of American workers are the best in the world and we're making progress on that front. And we've got to return to old-fashioned American values every... Now before he says this, so first of all you don't deserve a second term in the United States. You can get elected and you can be asked, you don't deserve it. There's no deserving. I'm sorry that I find that personally I found that to be offensive. I deserve this. I deserve it. Look what I've done.

11:55 And now John, what would you say are the old-fashioned American values? I mean, this is not an ageist thing, but I think that I can only go back so far. You go back further. I go back to the turn of the previous century. What are the... Just getting by. Oh no, wait, that's the new... That's the American dream. I'm talking about the American values. American values and this is a meme that is Continuing this is another sort of work get your body get you get you a head You could do make as much money as you want to in this country. There's nothing holding you back Everybody getting a fair shot everybody doing their fair share everybody playing by the same rules and there you go It's everybody getting a fair shot everybody doing their fair share

12:39 and everybody playing by the rules. He's Stalin. Yeah, this is not American values. Fair shot? Okay, I'll give you that one. Everybody gets their fair... but it's not like, hey, hey, you! Hey, citizen. It's your shot. Okay, make it count. You know, everyone does their fair share. I don't know, it just doesn't sound to me like... Fair share thing has bugged me. Yeah, it doesn't sound like a... By whose standards? Who is saying what a fair share is? The government. Well, let's listen to it again.

13:30 put a rule in for Wall Street that you can't, you know, run a light? You can't cross Wall Street. It's got nothing to do with Wall Street. Why would they have a rule like that? They have the same rules. It doesn't make any sense. I think you pointed out exactly. If you want to cross Wall Street on a red light, that's illegal. And if you want to cross Main Street on a red light, that's also illegal. Those are the only rules that are similar. Now the whole thing was very bothersome and of course a total setup with Clint Eastwood and his half time in America. I mean it couldn't it you know you you you pointed out specifically the the commercial where you have the guy with his big afro and they cut off his half the hair and like oh this is no good you don't want to have Bobby walking around with half an afro although by the way I think that is a kind of a cool look. It was very cool yeah they should go with that. I think Nicki Minaj should try that out I thought it was kind of cool.

14:19 So then they employ Clint Eastwood to do, and I only took half of the commercial, it was so long. It's halftime, halftime. Both teams are in their locker room discussing what they can do to win this game in the second half. It's halftime in America too. Isn't that a clear analogy to the halftime for the Obama reign? I think Clint Eastwood was suckered into this commercial because He is a Republican libertarian, and I don't think he knew that he what he was doing I think he did it because he thought it was like he probably as the meta He probably thought this was a cool idea and he bought into it, but he did this he doesn't since he doesn't listen to our show

15:03 He doesn't realize that there is a meme underway, this half done meme that Obama's pushing or Obama's people are pushing and he doesn't know that it even exists. I say most people don't know it exists. Wow. And so he got suckered into doing this idiotic commercial for charity or something for the money. I think the you know, he looked at the original script and went like, what is this half row? I don't understand the half row. Let's just say halftime because that would have been better. Afro it's half row in America That's what we're gonna call it half row. It's kind of racist though, but I didn't come up with the whole commercial It's an afro in that commercial right yeah, or something or it's just a haircut. I don't remember that was weeks and weeks ago No, Danny, but it was idiotic this whole halftime in America. We can't stop now. We can't change course never change a winning team Everyone gets their fair shot do their fair share and play by the same rules

16:00 Why do you laugh? Because the way you roll it out is actually quite funny. But it's the same words, it's just saying it a little differently. It's not all that much difference. Anywho. Well I thought that overall it was... actually DVR'd the game and and and sped watch it going past the commercials. Yeah I know. I've decided that this is a bullcrap scam that's been played on the public. Oh you've got to watch the Super Bowl because the commercials are so great. So people actually tell you that oh yes I sat down and watched all the commercials so I could talk about them around the water cooler. Well it turns out there's nothing to talk about A,

16:46 And B, how do you get suckered, believe me, suckered into watching commercials per se? It's beautiful. It's idiotic. So I decided screw it, I am not going to watch any of the Super Bowl commercials. And I did catch a couple while going fast forward, I saw a couple of compelling commercials I had to watch. Yeah, you don't have to mention them. I don't care. Yeah, well, the one with the flying saucer was good. Yeah, but you mentioned them all on the Horowitz show. I heard that. I heard it all. Yeah, well I only saw two. Anyway, so... So you got suckered into it too? We're done. We're done with the Super Bowl. I mean, because I think the real, the breaking news, I mean the news that they were just playing everywhere, everywhere you turned. Every news, every single network played this over and over and over again. Right? You know what I'm talking about? Syria? No.

17:38 I'm sorry. That's what I'm seeing. What are you talking about? I wasn't, I don't know, maybe I wasn't, I actually didn't see this anywhere except on Democracy Now, but I assumed that every network would be playing this because it's one of the biggest deals we've ever gone through in our country's history. The longest embargo last week was the 50th anniversary of the Cuban embargo. The longest embargo in the history of the world. That had to be on all the networks. Did we have a firework display? I don't know, but I do have the one clip from Democracy Now, which I know they talked about it. Up until the Cuban revolution that overthrew the US-backed dictator, Fulgencio Batista. Not long after, the US responded with sanctions to punish Cuba's revolutionary government. Well, there are no commemorations planned in Washington, but today marks the 50th anniversary of the US embargo. No commemorations? We didn't have a ticker tape parade? What? What is wrong with us?

16:46 And B, how do you get suckered, believe me, suckered into watching commercials per se? It's beautiful. It's idiotic. So I decided screw it, I am not going to watch any of the Super Bowl commercials. And I did catch a couple while going fast forward, I saw a couple of compelling commercials I had to watch. Yeah, you don't have to mention them. I don't care. Yeah, well, the one with the flying saucer was good. Yeah, but you mentioned them all on the Horowitz show. I heard that. I heard it all. Yeah, well I only saw two. Anyway, so... So you got suckered into it too? We're done. We're done with the Super Bowl. I mean, because I think the real, the breaking news, I mean the news that they were just playing everywhere, everywhere you turned. Every news, every single network played this over and over and over again. Right? You know what I'm talking about? Syria? No.

17:38 I'm sorry. That's what I'm seeing. What are you talking about? I wasn't, I don't know, maybe I wasn't, I actually didn't see this anywhere except on Democracy Now, but I assumed that every network would be playing this because it's one of the biggest deals we've ever gone through in our country's history. The longest embargo last week was the 50th anniversary of the Cuban embargo. The longest embargo in the history of the world. That had to be on all the networks. Did we have a firework display? I don't know, but I do have the one clip from Democracy Now, which I know they talked about it. Up until the Cuban revolution that overthrew the US-backed dictator, Fulgencio Batista. Not long after, the US responded with sanctions to punish Cuba's revolutionary government. Well, there are no commemorations planned in Washington, but today marks the 50th anniversary of the US embargo. No commemorations? We didn't have a ticker tape parade? What? What is wrong with us?

18:34 Did she actually say commemorations? Yeah. Well, there are no commemorations planned in Washington, but today marks the 50th anniversary of the U.S. embargo against Cuba, the longest running embargo in the world. On February 7th, 1962, President John F. Kennedy formally expanded the harsh regime of commercial and financial sanctions against Cuba that have continued to the present day. The embargo has been solidly bipartisan, notably intensifying under the Helms-Burton Act of 1996, which was passed by a Republican-controlled Congress and signed into law by President Bill Clinton, a Democrat. The U.S. has targeted Cuba in defiance of widespread international condemnation. Last year marked the 20th consecutive year the U.N. General Assembly has voted to call for the embargo's repeal.

19:18 The vote was 186 to 2 with the US joined only by Israel in opposition. Yeah, and I think Ron Paul voted against them too, right? Hey, wait a minute! What? Wait, wait, hold on a second. I didn't listen to this. Are you telling me that the UN for the last 20 years has been bringing this up and the only two people that vote against it are the US? And what has Israel got to do with it? A and B, I thought whatever the UN told us to do we did. I mean we went into this Libya thing and spent millions and billions of dollars on an air cover and bombing campaign because of the UN. What am I missing here? Oh well it's interesting you bring that up. People who sponsored the last show

20:02 with their donations and this show will be very pleased with the value they're going to get for their money. I have spent about three days non-stop, I'm seriously not kidding, 18 hours a day and I think I have figured out the big picture. Wait a minute. Yeah. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. No, the really, really big picture. And I have a little presentation for you as well, John. I would think, yes. But let's thank our donors for this episode first and then we'll get to that. Oh, that's a great idea. You know, we should be thanking the donors right about now as I go back and click on this button just to make sure that I do have the donors here.

20:51 You know, it's like are you trying to feel time? Hello? You know, I was wondering, Ed, can you play the No Agenda National Anthem while I download this thing here? I'm sorry. Sure. Ladies and gentlemen, please rise for your Gitmo Nation National Anthem. Okay, you can stop. No, no, no, we're going to sing along. In the morning, Gitmo Nation, we are all charged up to be Human resources and servants in all lands and all ships at sea. From the east to west, down under to the lowlands and beyond. We are happy and distracted slaves in our Gitmo Nation song. Hey, citizen. Hey, Mr. Holmes.

21:52 Can't interrupt the national anthem like oh stop. That's enough. No it doesn't work that way could do that No, it doesn't work that okay. We played it. Okay. We do have a lot of people to thank for today's show We got two executive producers and a slew of associates and let's start with them Moise Khan yes citizen Khan and I he He is our executive producer today with 380 and he sent me a long note of which I will paraphrase This is the guy who was in in Pakistan and went to see bin Laden's compound. Oh, right, right This is our Pakistan guy exactly and he had requested some travel karma and before I get to the travel karma story He says this is just a little extra note. He says he's actually Canadian or he lives in Canada and

22:36 Since I've returned to Canada, I've been busy and haven't had the opportunity to review my photos. However, I want you to know I'm working on getting a photo of some Pakistani soldiers in front of Bin Laden's house holding up a shutupslaves.com sign. How awesome would that be? I love the Canadians. Anyway, so they asked me from Carmen to get my family back into Canada a few episodes back. Says you put it on 373. You kind of forgot to give me karma, he says, the nerve. However, turns out karma knows what's best and helped me out anyway. Turns out his son is on the no-fly list. His son is three years old. He has an unfortunately common name and now prompts me to change that. So we were checking in for our domestic flight from Toronto to Calgary. From Toronto to Calgary. Hello?

23:28 This is an internal flight. The flight attendant, or whatever you call them, had to wait on hold for about half an hour. I asked, what's the problem? She said, well, you probably get this all the time. Normally don't have to wait on hold. Sorry about this, but you're on the no-fly list. And of course, he's Pakistani. In other words, hey, the guy looks like a terrorist, I better make a call. So he's on the no-fly list. And then she says, oh, actually, I'm sorry, it turns out your son is on the no-fly list. So they finally did get home. He says, my first day back at work was January 17th. Went like any slave would especially after four weeks off I received an email from a friend inviting me to come for a free lunch on January 18th warning free lunch is always dangerous and apply for a contract position at about double my current salary I was dubious, but thought I better attend the free lunch my friend gave me more details about the position I figured I'd nothing to lose so I wrote up my resume that night over the next week and a half I had three interviews my boss also a no agenda listener gave me a raise and

24:28 If the job doesn't pan out, at least I got the raise. Then I received an offer for the contract position the following Monday. So he says that his karma has worked out more than sufficiently. I would think. And hence his donation of $380 to the program for today's show. And you will not be disappointed, my friend. Thank you so much. So give him another shot at karma. See what happens. Yeah, indeed. Let's see what happens I want to have that sign of the Pakistani soldiers in front of bin Laden's car. Great. You know, you know people just photoshopped I know that this is the real deal That's always what the problem is and of course it'll it'll get used and people will Photoshop their own message didn't have some yeah But you know there is a product there's a thing there's a secret this cook there's a piece of code floating around and

25:18 that you the public generally can't get a hold of. It's used for by law enforcement. Adobe created it. You can read I will have a copy. You can run any photo through it and it is it got an algorithm looking for Any sort of remnants of Photoshop being double... Well, let's run the birth certificate through that. So anyway, you can look at and you can see this stuff's not Photoshopped. It's very important to have this kind of code. Anyway, we also want to thank Daniel Strexer, R. Daniels. Oh, I know why he's donating. Why? I gave him the thing I'm going to talk about later. I gave him all this... You know what he does, right? We don't have to tell everybody. 333.

26:04 uh... but i gave him uh... some uh... i gave him my i was testing my theories on him and we'll talk about in a minute okay we'll talk about it he liked it so much he came back with it sure are i love that with no comment yeah no i know eric i'm sorry not erica eric wilka in rushaville indiana uh... he's associate executive producer two fourteen twelve in the morning citizen john and citizen adam there's love doing Yeah, for the best podcasting universe, please give me a karma shot as I'm about to graduate with my master's and start living the American dream of just getting by. Also, could get a karma shot for my fellow Noah Jenner producer, listener Kevin Flick for his fight against a very serious medical issue. Thank you both for your wonderful original analysis. Oh, absolutely. Here comes a nice little shot of karma for you both. You've got karma.

Hey that mailing really worked we got like what? Oh we got three! Three is better than a poking eye with a sharp stick. Hell yeah. You know, you may have something with this karma. With that being said, I would like to give my wife and myself some karma to overcome the past few crappy weeks. Oh man. Alright, here's some relationship karma, I guess. You've got karma. Hey, hey, that's Valentine's karma and everything. Um...

It'll make you stop is kind of a reverse thing that may not work out because all you have to do is keep blowing it and I'll have to give you more money. Yeah. This isn't going to work

32:20 PR, quick PR mention we've got here. This is Sir Craig comes in with a domain name. He must have paid a lot of money for this. Pointing to noagendershow.com from the new XXX top level domain series. We have release.xxx which I think is nice. Oh God. I don't know how many people are like, oh man, I need to check out release.exe. Thank you, Don. What? Yeah, exactly. Everyone else out there, of course you do have a mission is to go out and propagate our formula. Our formula is this. We go out, we hit people in the mouth. Say it with me now, everybody. Shut up, Slade. Alright, you ready?

33:26 We're gonna go right into your thing Yeah, it's it's gonna take a while, but how long is it gonna take? It depends and you might immediately go ahead and I might uh-huh all right. We'll start that would be really unfortunate I'll start asking questions, okay, well What is one of the the premises that we and we actually talked about this on? 200.5 one of the premises of our view of the world is Yeah, there you go. What? Well, what do you want? Are you asking me a question right off the bat? I thought you were going to start eating to a diet. No, it's a question. I need to ease you into it. I'm not going to answer this question. It's all about oil. Isn't that what we've always said? Oh yeah, it's always about oil. Yeah, that's one of our many, many models. Well, this is... And to take it to a further extreme, it's about everybody else's oil. We just want to keep ours and then break the world and then we have all this oil and we can be the number one dog on the block. Right.

34:25 So I think fine with me. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I think we were a little bit distracted by the oil per se Because what I and it really took me and again I've been working at this 18 hours a day for three days straight and What I realized is it's no longer just about oil oil, of course. Yeah important, but what's going on and I'll just give you a little taste if you haven't seen it if you haven't heard it and This is the only thing dominating the news in America today. The shattering explosions come every few minutes in the besieged Syrian city of Homs. Residents say government troops are using rockets and heavy artillery in a bombardment that has gone on for days. As the shells fall, the slaughter mounts. Another 60 men and women and children were reported killed today. But residents say they cannot even count the dead anymore. We can't even count the dead anymore!

35:22 Now, we talked on the last show, John, we talked about why is this being hyped up about Syria? What is going on? There is so much incredible hype that there must be something happening. Did you pick up on anything? I mean, we've been waiting for this in the New York Times. Has anything happened with Syria? Anything new well, I know I mean have all of a sudden it seems like someone turned the on switch and pushed it towards 11 and said We've got it Syria. It's all about Syria Syria Syria Syria Syria Syria Well, I have a bunch of thoughts on this too with a bunch of clips Yeah, but I'm more now interested in what you're what you think you've dug up. Okay, you know I preface it with the okay unnecessary so I'm on all right, so I'm going to tell you that

36:10 that this is not about oil, this is about gas. And it only really struck me when I started to gather a couple of maps. Now, John, get your browser ready because I'm going to give you a URL. Okay, browser ready, boss. Is your browser ready? Browser's ready. It's up and ready. Shabab be in the Google box or should I be in the URL box? Put your cursor in the URL box. Alright, I'm ready. Because once you load this you only have like 20 seconds and the rest of the listeners are gonna go get it. It's gonna crash the server. Alright, ready? Yeah. Pipelines.curry.com. You got it? Pipelines.curry.com. Tell me when you have the page loaded.

36:56 Pages up pages up all right, so I picture you when you're 10 now scroll down a little Yes, that's it. It's his fault Okay first and people at home can play along with this so I want to show you these are not maps I created these are ones I got from presentations. Don't scroll to the bottom just stay where you are okay? You with me all right? Yeah, yeah, yeah, so the first picture here is shows The state of the gas it says oil and gas but it'll be about gas and you'll find out why so on the right here You see all this Russian region you see bits of Iraq and Iran and you see that's the largest oil and gas sources of the world and The market the largest market is Europe, right? That's the second largest market Of course, we have other big markets, but that is a huge oil market right gas market and

37:47 And of course the natural route of transit is through Turkey. Going from, and a lot of this if you go to the second one, you see these are all the pipelines. So we have the pipelines, we have the South Stream, the Blue Stream, and you'll see that a lot of this goes through the Ukraine, through Slovakia, they built the South Stream, which, and this is interesting, which goes through Greece, and then from Greece it goes to Italy, and of course Europe is highly dependent upon gas for a number of reasons. And gas became very important in this past year. The reason... I guess it's become also we have to note there's a back your thesis up here. The recent memes about the cold cold cold weather in Europe and people dropping dead is one of these things that makes people start to think about this. Well there's one other reason which I didn't actually realize.

38:38 But Japan is in huge it has a huge demand now for natural gas why because Why because they no longer have their nuclear facility and the next option next to nuclear when it comes to what is the cleanest? What is the cheapest and what is the easiest to deal with is natural gas? Now you'll recall that right after Fukushima, Germany said, oh that's it, we're shutting down all our nuclear plants, no more nukes. So they need more gas to generate electricity. That's just a side note but something to bear in mind. First of all, before you continue, our basic premise in show 200.5, that it's always about the oil, it applies to gas.

39:29 Hmm it does but there's something else that happened that we have probably forgotten that changed the entire picture and will explain Everything and I think it's a model we can apply to everything that's happening scroll down to the scroll down to the name for this tile for the show already good scroll down tease scroll down to the third map now this is the Arab gas pipeline and You'll see the Arab gas pipeline starts down there at our ish, right? This is where Egyptian gas was shipped into our ish and then the pipeline goes all the way up passing Israel on the right-hand side actually bypass bypasses Israel Damascus up to homes Gee, where have I heard that name recently? every 10 seconds on the news scroll down to the fourth map and

40:21 What's interesting is the Arab gas pipeline only goes to Homs. It's not complete. Because the mission is to complete the final 230 kilometers into Turkey, known as the Syrian-Turkey pipeline. So what was happening is we had natural gas being shipped in, and this is in a way, in many ways, competitive to all the Russian gas. You with me? Although the Russians are in on the, everyone's in on it, particularly Europe and the Russians are also in on the Syrian-Turkey pipeline. So this is the way that gas was flowing and we're going to relate this back to Arab Spring in a moment. What happened on December 30th of 2010? I don't know, you tell me Adam. We discussed it.

41:14 But we didn't really think about what the true, and all this is in the show notes by the way, we didn't think about the true parameters of what this meant. The Leviathan gas field was discovered. This is the largest discovery of gas in our century. And it's right off the coast of Israel, the northern coast of Israel. And it goes all the way basically to Cyprus. Boy, isn't that interesting? So all of a sudden the entire dynamics changed Israel which has always had to import their gas and they imported it by the way straight from Syria through that Arab pipeline Israel now will become one of the largest suppliers of gas if all of a sudden we have this huge gas field sitting right there in the Mediterranean and We have the biggest

42:17 consumer being Europe, what is the most logical route? The most logical route is to go through Cyprus straight into Greece, bypassing that entire other chart that you saw, bypassing this entire deal that you've seen with the Arab gas pipeline. And Cyprus is owned by the Russians? Cyprus is owned partially by the Russians, Cyprus is owned partially by Greece. Turkey is very pissed off about the whole Cyprus thing. But who do we see showing up in Cyprus? We see Hillary Clinton showing up. There's a company there called Noble Energy.

42:59 And noble energy has very tight ties to the Bush family and the Clinton family because Israel got a little bit greedy and they said, hey, you know, those laws we had in 1951 about how, you know, if we ever had any kind of natural resources, we'd tax them really low. We're going to jack that up a little bit, if you don't mind. Just a little bit because, you know, we can make some money here. Then Hillary Clinton immediately came out and said hey, you know This is no good and then she started working on something called the law of the seas remember that the law of the seas which determines the Territory of each individual country and all the rest belongs to the UN or some other bullcrap like that Yeah good because who actually owns this well Lebanon says it's theirs and

43:44 or at least part of it, Israel's like, no, no, no, this is the promised land, man, this is what Moses brought us here for. This is ours. Cyprus is saying, you know what? I think maybe it's ours, but we've got Noble Energy here, the Houston-based company. We'll work with you, no problem. We'll be your buddies. And we've seen a whole lot of really interesting things happen between Israel and Cyprus, but also Greece. Homes of course is really important because you want two things to happen gas is not is very cheap right now So we can't just say oh, it's depressed actually right we can't just say oh, here's all this gas You know because it won't even be worth it to export it But if we can create some kind of scarcity ie let's blow up some pipelines Right and what happens in homes? The pipelines it's getting blown up continuously

44:42 Oop, blown up. Now, three months after this discovery, three months, the Arab Spring starts. I'll remind you that Egypt was exporting their gas into the Arab pipeline, which bypasses Israel. Not only do we see the entire regime and the whole country destabilized, but their pipeline was blown up four times during that time, four times. Libya, hmm, Libya was exporting their natural gas to Italy straight into Europe. That stopped. When all of a sudden we had the Arab Spring and the Libyan no-fly zone, stopped, done. No more natural gas was exported. They're trying to restart that but they're not going to. Tunisia, Tunisia delivers

45:33 Natural gas to Italy via Algeria. So this has always been about the gas Now let's check in on some of the elites and what they're doing. This is where it gets really really crazy I have a clip here. This is the the new minister of Energy for Greece it just it gets it just gets too funny and He used to be The economic minister for Greece and he is actually the ministry of the economy up until the crisis and then all of a sudden he switched roles and he became the minister of gas and why you'll figure out in a second. So he goes to Jerusalem.

46:23 Because the Greek of the Greece of the Greeks of course they want to have this deal They they want to have this gas coming in from from this huge israeli field to sell to europe and basically shut everybody else out So he goes to israel, and he doesn't interview with the jerusalem post but the interviewer is like a 13 year old girl So he's really cavalier. You know he'll just he's just laying it all out there and the things he says are Outrageously amazing. Here's a question one about exporting gas from Israel to Greece and then from Greece to Europe. Only a few weeks following the formation of a Greek unity government, Environment, Energy and Climate Change Minister George Papakonstantinou is the first Greek official to visit Israel as a representative of the new coalition.

47:11 Is Greece considering importing Israeli natural gas? There is at the moment a big discussion on how to bring to Europe gas from a number of areas outside Europe and diversify sources. The negotiations for example on bringing gas from the Caspian Sea are now going to come to a conclusion. We are trying to make Greece the hub for gas transit to Northern European countries either via Italy or through the Balkans. And in that context the discussions with Israel are ongoing on the possibility to bring in also

47:51 Israeli gas and these have been discussed at the high level in the past between the two prime ministers and At the senior government level so this new prime minister in Greece is very interesting the old guy Papandreou he actually was trying to do a deal with the Russians for the Get the name of it here the pipeline Here it is the Burgas Alexandropopolis, which would come from the Russians through Bulgaria into Greece. So this is why he had to go, because they, it's like, wait a minute, we've got all this Israeli oil, we don't want that stupid pipeline, that's way too long, we can ship it right through Cyprus, we own half of that anyway, we can still work with the Russians, we can still put a deal together, but we're going to be the guys. So they bring in the new Prime Minister.

48:50 And this prime minister is all over that. The new Greek prime minister as of November 11th, Lucas Papademos, last week told Netanyahu that they're interested in strengthening relations with Israel. What do you think he meant by this exactly? I have learned in politics to never interpret what the prime minister says. However, for the last few years, starting with the previous government, George Papandreou's government, there's been clearly a new page opened in the relationship between the two countries. And I think there have been many instances, there's been the visit, of course, that has happened to Greece, and a clear desire on both sides to move closer on a number of issues

49:44 political, economic, etc. So Prime Minister Papadimos is simply pushing that further and he spoke with Prime Minister Netanyahu a few days to reaffirm willingness to keep a corporation that is mutually beneficial. Yeah, mutually beneficial. So all code words for hell yeah we're doing a deal with those guys. You kidding me? This is going to be great for us. One reminder once again about this guy, this Greek energy minister. Konstantino also served as the Greek finance minister until summer of this year. And he talked about some of the causes of the economic issues facing Greece. So he was a part of the collapse of Greece and I believe that he was a true shill. Because what has been happening with Greece as they're trying to figure out their deals, it's not... This is where I made the mistake. I thought, you know, it's really, it's all about the austerity measures. No, no, no, no, no. It's also about the privatization.

50:45 Remember we're talking about Greece selling everything off. So what is going to be privatized? Well obviously this transit of natural gas is part of this privatization deal so you don't have the government soaking up what's going to be a bonanza and then passing it out to the public. Right, so they're privatizing the airports, they're also privatizing the port in general, but they're also going to, I actually have the list here, concession of the ports and airports, Athens International, sale and the stake of the public gas corporation. There it is. Also a sale of the banks. Now the gas corporation, the electrical corporation is DEPA. The CEO of DEPA is a certain Mr. Harry Sakchinis. This just gets crazier. He was also group vice president of standards and poors.

51:45 So I think what's going on right before our very eyes is they're trying to delay as much as possible the Greek bailout because it's not about the deals with the pensions, it's all about the sale of the state assets. This is exactly what happened in Russia by the way. This is how you get the oligarchs. Yeah, Russia sold off all their really great assets to these oligarchs who now are billionaires overnight largely because of this essentially taking what was in the public trust and instead of sharing it I mean is that we've seen the evidence that many stories we've talked about over the years about you know you know where some some government like Ecuador for example wants to take their oil reserves and not give all the money to Standard Oil or Texaco but to pass it to the public right the way they kind of do in Kuwait and in the parts of the Middle East they

52:38 share the wealth with the public at large. I mean California for example if we did that here we'd all be rich. So yeah so this is a they actually I have the some of the articles speak of the new energy order and Israel is look and you know and we use this for jet fuel and by the way wherever there's gas there's usually oil and this thing it is if you look at the Leviathan field It is literally the mother load who was the first company now remember noble energy is key here noble energy a lot of ties to the to the it's it there from Houston so a lot of ties to Bush but also to Clinton and

53:18 Who was the first company to get the offshore drilling contracts when President Obama opened up the Gulf Coast? Noble Energy. They're the first ones. They're all in line. Clinton has been pressing Turkish officials to back off from threats to send warships to waters around Cyprus in a dispute over the energy deposits. She is completely protecting Cyprus. This is not necessarily country against country. This is corporate warfare between different gas and oil companies, depending on who they're affiliated with, being fought with real guns against real people. So this whole Syria thing

54:03 is not necessarily Russia who are trying to protect them, but it's factions within Russia who are most likely working with the Russian Cyprus faction, who are working with the Clintons and the Bushes on noble energy, who really just want to make sure that there's enough demand, so let's ratchet down the gas to Europe, and we've already seen that 30% less gas is being transported. from from what is the the big Russian company I have it here somewhere. Yeah. Yeah. You know, they're always too cold here. We can't send you enough. We have pipelines being blown up continuously. Oh, who's doing the blowing up of the pipelines and why? Simple because they need it's a very short pipeline. They've got to build between this basically between Cyprus and Greece because they're not going to it doesn't have to go from Israel. It's Cyprus to Greece. And Israel is now building

55:08 military facilities in Cyprus. Here we go. Well, it's all in the show notes at 381.nashownotes.com. And this destabilizing of Syria is probably, and now I'm just going into hypothesis mode, is probably our promise and probably Clinton's, Hillary Lucifer's promise, like, hey, don't worry about it, Israel. We're gonna hook you up because we're all in on the back end of this. We're gonna make sure that that gas is not flowing from Homs up to Turkey. We're not gonna have that happen.

55:49 So this whole thing, everything, right back to the Arab Spring, this all started after this huge discovery of this Leviathan, great name by the way, Leviathan gas field in Israel. And you can apply this to everything. Who's next on the list? Italy. And who do they put in there? Another shill. Goldman Sachs is in on this, by the way. And it's like, I think it's a club of maybe a couple hundred people and they're all in, they are completely in with the contracts. They know who's getting what and they do not give a crap about people. But they are pushing this theater into, oh, well, we're not going to invade Syria. There's no way. The Russians are going to take care of what they got to take care of.

56:38 And it's probably the competing Russians who are working in Cyprus who also don't want to see this pipeline completed from Syria to Turkey. It becomes so incredibly clear you can almost relate anything we're seeing in the news back to this one thing right down to Romney and Santorum and Gingrich who are all sucking off Israel. They know! They know where the money is at. They know it. Why is Israel so important? Well now it actually is. It is important because it's trillions of dollars perhaps and they don't give a crap, they will kill anyone. Well for that kind of money you would too. So...

57:21 So there's this guy Patrick Seale who wrote a bunch of books about the Middle East and he's a big expert out of England and seemed to have a grip on this whole thing and he saw this action in Syria as pretty much, although he never talks about this field or the oil, gas and oil aspect. He does have most of the players down and he does see it as a battle between the United States and Israel and on the same team obviously on the same team against the Russians and the Chinas Yes, oh yes, oh yes. You kind of left the Chiners out. No, no, the Chiners, of course, no, the Chiners... But I want to play, there's a break here, I want to play two clips from this guy, both of them are a little long, but they're very interesting. And it turns out that it's very easy to do what you're describing, in other words, blowing up these pipelines, because the Muslim Brotherhood in Syria, which is another reason we can't get involved in this thing, because they're going to end up taking over the place if the civil war continues, and then we'd get blamed.

58:21 Now we already let the Muslim Brotherhood pretty much take over Egypt. And we want them to, John, because they're just going to muck it all up as long as it slows down the gas. Right. So anyway, so they've got a built-in situation and he explains the geopolitical part. This is called the Syria on or Sur- is it Sur-? Suril. Suril. Suril. It's actually Suril. seal on the Middle Eastern security and he kind of discusses the the player so we have an overview and by the way when you listen to this it's obvious that this is nothing we should get involved with any of you watch these idiotic presentations and by the way there's one other element you've got to bring into this with this this thesis

59:04 the British and British Petroleum and MI6 who seem to be stirring up the pot on a lot of these things and I would like to hear your take on that. But let's play this guy's take on what factions are at work playing in that area. There are disputes going on in the opposition. Some say we must cooperate with the Muslim Brothers, others say no. Some say we must seek external intervention, others say no. Some say we need a dialogue. I believe... Are you playing the right one? Are you playing seal on Middle East security or are you playing what's really going on in Syria? No, I'm seal on Middle East security is the one I'm playing. Ah, okay. Well then go on, play. You want me to play the other one?

59:44 now only a play the other one first i'm sorry that's the summary of what's really going on in syria that's the one that's all you see i think to understand what's happening one has to see this as a concerted attack assault on not only syria but iran as well you see uh... iran syria and uh... allies by line level that trio the sort of terror on the mosques has been a taxes has in recent years been the main obstacle to American and Israeli hegemony in the Middle East. And the attempt now is to bring that axis down. Of course, they're fighting back with their allies, with their friends, like precisely like Russia and China. So that's what we're seeing on that level. Internally in Syria is a completely different struggle.

1:00:36 Now, you see the main element in the opposition, the most powerful element in the Syrian National Council is the Muslim Brotherhood. Now, just the other day they celebrated the 30 year anniversary of the assault on Hama by Hafez Al-Assad, the father of the present president. And in that struggle, At least 10,000 people were killed in the city of Hama. Now we have to understand the background of that. Hama in 1982 was the climax of a terrorist campaign by the Muslim Brothers which began in the late 70s to overthrow the Assad regime at that time.

1:01:21 And they seized control, the insurgents seized control of Hama, butchered Ba'ath Party members and officials. And it was only at that stage that the regime moved in and crushed that insurgency and killed a lot of people, a lot of innocent people. The specter of what happened then, 30 years ago, hangs over the present situation. And the Muslim Brothers, they've been outlawed for the last 30 years, they've suffered all sorts of problems at the hands of the regime, and they are thirsting for revenge. So that's why I'm saying it's kill or be killed. The present government feels that these are armed insurgents and the mistake of the opposition was in fact to resort to arms.

1:02:07 Okay, who is this? Who is this guy again? What it where's he? Where's he from? What does he do? He's from Britain. He's a book, right? He's got a bunch of books on the Middle East. I think he's a security expert. And it seems as if that it didn't take much more than for somebody I can't imagine who to arm the Muslim Brotherhood and of course we couldn't ever take credit for doing that because this is a group that really doesn't like us either. and just let all hell break loose right in that one area like you said where the pipeline is and now they can't, the pipeline is stuck there while they're trying to deal with this crap and then of course the reporting on this is just dreadful I was watching Anderson Pooper

1:02:44 I have a thing if you want to listen to this guy. He's got some guy named Daniel. No, he's no Danny. It's Danny. It's Danny on Skype. Danny on Skype. Now I've seen this. This is fantastic. This is a fraud. Hold on a second. Which clip is it? Which clip is it? I should say Anderson Cooper somewhere. No, I don't see any Anderson. That's weird. I did, O'Reilly Nonsense, Writer, Maldives, Prexy, Idiotic Comment, Guns in School, uh. Did you forget to send it? Oh that's too bad. It's a bust. I do have it. Oh no it is right the second from the top. Bogus serial report by Anderson Cooper. Now this this Cooper guy, I mean this Danny guy, I saw him this morning on with the with the Morning Girl. Before I play it I want to set this up. He's calling in regular reports.

1:03:30 This idiot is calling in right yeah, and yeah by the way There's a clip of him talking about some dead kid And it's like you never see the pig you see the same picture of a guy with his with his with his heel bleeding He makes a mistake. Oh in this in this Danny. Yeah, he if you hear you It's very hard to hear him because but he says where is the u.s.. When we need them, but he meant you and So he says where's the u.s.. Where is the u.n.. When we need him? It's a very interesting flub I'm sorry. But wait, a couple other things. I want to point out to people that in any armed conflict ever, there's always reporters who sneak behind the lines and give us at least written reports that are highly accurate. There's nothing coming out of this area. Not a single thing. Late word tonight on the slaughter that Bashar al-Assad and his security forces have unleashed in Syria. UN Security General... By the way, just listen to the setup. Oh,

1:04:22 Oh, this is pathetic. This is pathetic reporting. There's no proof of anything going on. I mean, we do see some bombs going off here and there. But you can't just report like this if you don't know for sure. I have some great clips that fit into this. We'll continue. Ban Ki-moon calling the regime's assault on Homs a sign of worse to come. After four straight days of bombing and shelling, it's frankly hard to see how things could get worse. By the way, you only see two explosions and smoke in every single video. It's the same one over and over again. Right, and the one video where it shows the explosion, first they have the camera pointed at where the rocket comes from, and then they follow it right to the point as if it was staged. Yeah, well, yes. Did you notice the way that was shot? Yes! Oh no, dude, we've got so much to talk about. Worse than this. Woo!

1:05:10 Incoming artillery rocket fire on several... That's not incoming by the way. ...the neighborhoods, especially Baba Amr where this video was taken today. More than five dozen people killed. Reports of field hospitals and medical professionals are being targeted along with the wounded. Now the killing, the atrocities unfolding despite Al-Assad's commitment or stated commitment to ending the violence. He made that promise to Russia's visiting foreign minister only yesterday. He's made that promise before, of course, and that promise has always been broken. By this morning, his sincerity could be measured in dead men, dead women, and dead children. Which we have not seen any proof of. The activist, an opposition member known as Danny, has been risking his life daily, bearing witness to all this, posting videos on YouTube.

1:05:54 He filed this dispatch just after today's shelling began. Now before we show it to you, I want to warn you. Graphic. It's not especially graphic. It certainly is horrible. It's also the saddest. Not graphic. It's just horrible. Listen to me slave. It's horrible. You will think it's horrible. Reality in homes right now. This is in a field hospital. It's still very poor. This is in a charge. He's about two years old. He got hit with this water bomb in his house. Is this what the UN is waiting for? Is this what the UN is waiting for? Until they kill all the children, kill all the women. This child lost his brains. A bomb landed in his house. He lost his whole brains. Two children were killed, him and his sister. What is the UN waiting for?

1:06:45 We've been trying all day with no success to reconnect with Danny. We thought we had him several times. Communications are extremely difficult. The streets are deadly. Just before airtime, we managed to get in touch with another activist named Abu Abdo who had just witnessed a friend die. So I got to say a couple things here. So for anyone in that region to say Where's the I've seen more video of this guy who by the way is getting the two book deal out of it I hear he's gonna do great and he's saying yeah, we need the UN we need the UN Did you know that Barbara Walters sat down with Assad and had an interview with him a 45 minute interview? Somehow we missed this. I don't understand wasn't recently it was December. I

1:07:31 Was it you sure? Yeah, yeah. December. I thought it was a couple years ago. No, it's December. It's December. Well, I did see it. I saw the interview. And you want to hear what Assad thinks about the UN? yeah i've read this last week and independent united nations commission who interviewed more than two hundred and twenty five people issued a report but it said was that your government committed crimes against humanity and they went on torture rape and other forms of sexual violence against protesters including against children what do you say to them i mean what i'm saying again and again is that protesters were

1:08:12 were beaten, things happened to them. Do you acknowledge that? Do you acknowledge what the UN said? Very simply I would say send us the documents and the concrete evidences that you have and we'll see if that's true or not. You have a lot of allegations now. Did the UN not send you these documents? Nothing at all. You mean the first you hear? They don't have even the names. And this is true. I've read the UN documents and just like Libya, they have no one. And Libya was like, oh, all these people getting raped. And they had one woman who later said, I don't want to talk anymore. Let's not forget the Viagra bull crap. Yeah, exactly. Who are the rape people or who are the torture people? Who are they? We don't have any name. They didn't. But they've issued. Sorry, Mr. President, they have issued this report. They have accused you. It must be true. According to what?

1:09:01 Well, according to what they said, 225 people, witnesses, men, women, children. That is a lie because they have no names and witnesses in the report. I've read the report. Whom they interviewed and identified. And that's when they called it crimes against humanity. We are government. We have government. We have institutions. They should send us the documents, as long as we don't see the documents and the evidences, we cannot say yes, that's normal. We cannot say just because of the United Nations. Who said that the United Nations is a credible institution? Who said that the United Nations... Who said? We know that you have the double standard in the world, in the United States policy, in the United Nations that's controlled by the United States and the West. So it has no credibility.

1:09:47 It's about evidences and documents. Whenever they have, we can discuss it. Just to discuss a report that we don't see any reality related to it. Just a waste of time. You do not think that the United Nations is a credible organization? No. For one reason, they haven't implemented, they never implemented any of the resolutions that related to the Arab world, for example, to the Palestinians, to the Syrian land. Why don't they? If they talk about human rights, what about the Palestinians suffering? in the occupied territory. What about my land and my people that left their land because it's occupied by Israel? Of course not. For every citizen, it's not for me as president. I'm telling you about the perception in the whole region. You do not think the United Nations is credible? No. Never. It's not something before my generation. It's something we inherited as a concept, as a belief.

1:10:40 You have an ambassador to the United Nations. Yeah, it's a game we play. It's a little game we play. Which is a fact and of course we just mentioned earlier in the show about the United Nations voting, you know, a million to two to get the US to stop their embargo in Cuba. I said we just tell them to shove it. So Assad, although I do believe what he's saying, you know, this is terrorist acts taking place. Well, and the expert from London says it's just it's the Muslim Brotherhood trying to Do their job. They're doing their job. They have to blow up the pipelines. However, they're doing a good job. So even though Assad is telling the truth here, he's a player. He's a player in the game and he lets it slip in this clip.

1:11:33 What's the biggest misconception? Why is there this misconception in USA and the country is stable, we have some factions. What's the misconception? First of all, who is the most of the world? Most of the West, you mean? Not just the West, Turkey, Jordan, the members, that's not the West, the members of the Arab League, they are saying to you, they are imposing sanctions, some of them are telling you to step down, these are your neighbors. There's agenda for those countries. It's not it's political game. It's not because they don't care about the killing They don't care about democracy most of these countries. They have agenda not going to talk about the town I'm not going to talk about their agenda. I'm not gonna talk about the agenda because he's in on the game Yeah, obviously, but again, this is not just about countries This is and so this will relate back to your question about the British in the mi6 you can't see it just as the British in mi6

1:12:29 It's the corporations. BP has their own agenda. ExxonMobil has their own agenda. Shell has their own agenda. So whoever has the right people in the right place, this is corporate. The government's... Yeah, Chevron and Uniqel are also players and also Gazprom or wherever it is out of Russia. So obviously... Wait, before you go on with this, I want to throw another, just another wrench into the works. Okay. So, while there's a bunch of this propagandizing going around, especially on the news shows about this Syria action, and you see pictures of Hillary in the UN, who by the way, she does not look good. No, no. All of a sudden, out of the blue comes Brzezinski.

1:13:15 Your buddy my pal Yeah Just listen is that the is that the Q well? I mean, I just I don't I didn't know what to make of these two clips that I picked I mean he could be essentially he always keeps going back to to world governance which again is code for let you know let we want to get in on this action to uh-huh is the elites because what you're describing is a huge true multi trillion dollar money-making scheme yes, which is would make sense that people want to get in on it but he's trying to he's making at assertions and uh... other commentary that uh... i think you've got it just doesn't sound right but in the in the meta view that you're giving us it actually makes a little sense and i don't know which one is the play first but

1:14:03 played lost at first. Collectively address the problems that the world faces. One of those is to is to I think in your in your term expand the West to include places like Russia and Turkey. Absolutely I think that it's in the vital interest of the West to do so and I think drawing in Turkey, drawing in Russia would greatly increase the vitality of the West and after all The Turks in the course of the last hundred years have demonstrated a determination to be modern, secular and democratic. So they are really part of our value system. In Russia today we see for the first time

1:14:47 The emergence of something we can call a civic society Okay, so what's happening is he's and we're gonna put names to these eventually we will be on that side of the equation Yes, oh yeah, no we're gonna be able to figure it out because what he's saying is Russia Turkey Europe That's the way it should go and I'm just gonna relate that to the pipelines because there's there is the South Stream There's the blue stream. There's all these pipelines that run through Turkey so he wants a Turkey turkey turkey turkey turkey how many times is Hillary Clinton been to Turkey? She's been trying that too, but now by the way Let me give you something on this meme. He just said he said that it's a modern secular Democratic Yeah for the last hundred years they have been fighting this the public in Turkey are fighting it They and he says they share our value system. They are a hundred percent Muslim society that would love to go Sharia They don't share any

1:15:38 It's bull crap. Yeah, the elites do. But this is not this is the only I was thinking when I first saw this before I'm starting to think about this other thesis was that what is he this guy has he not been to Turkey recently? Has he not been to the Istanbul airport? I mean, it's just short of having goats in it. I mean it is, all the women are covered up and this is very extreme. You'd think that you're in Saudi Arabia. There are a lot of places in Turkey where the burkas come off and the girls go crazy. I mean there is some truth. Well actually in Istanbul the party section there is beyond compare. I have to say they know how to party in Turkey. I'm not saying that's not true. But that can end at the drop of a hat with one new government.

1:16:20 And I just don't see that what he's saying. Well, Turkey is obviously against the whole Israeli thing. In fact, Turkey. It has to be. Yeah. I mean, they're saying, hey, Cyprus, you know, that's our territory. You can't have that. You know, this is a whole history of Cyprus and Turkey. But again, just and if you haven't seen it yet, please go to pipelines.curry.com. You'll see. where all of this is headed and the shortest route from all this wonderful resource replacing nuclear energy going right into Europe. Something very interesting happened though during a recent Spokeshole Carney press event. So he is delivering the... he gets asked a question by Jake. I like Jake because he's kind of compromised but he always comes up with a great question.

1:17:08 And so he's saying, look, we don't really have any official reports on what's happening in Syria. You know, so what is really good? Do you guys have anyone there? Do you really know what's happening in Syria? Which is kind of like a softball for spokeshole Carney to lob it in and tell you how horrible and the crimes against humanity and then something very funny happens. But first the setup with Jake and the spokeshole. And just to follow up on the Syria question earlier from Nora, did there been reports that because of I think it's homes. I'm really dude you think so?

1:17:50 There we go, there's the premature babies again. Incubators, we're back, we got it. By the way, rumors in the general media have now been replaced by bloggers. Bloggers and youtubers this is this is the big trick in the media so instead of saying we heard rumors now We have a blogger there or a youtuber. This is very important for media assassination Factually we have people on the ground there to a degree or another are we monitoring exactly what has happened well

1:18:35 I can say that we have all here seen the reporting and some of the horrific... No, there's no reporting. We see YouTube videos. There's no reporting, absolutely. ...of the escalation of violence that's taking place in Syria over the last few days. And it's clearly resulted in the deaths of hundreds of civilians. Clearly, clearly resulted in the deaths of hundreds of... clearly! and then uh... accompanied by troubling statements from senior regime officials who have pledged quote to cleanse the country of renegades and outlaws no clinton's there you go nice little genocide mean throw it in their port on carnie that is hardly reassuring and only

1:19:21 reinforces the fact that the Assad regime is engaged in a brutal campaign to slaughter its own people. That's exactly... he's Hitler! It's a fact, he's just engaged to slaughter, slaughter like cattle! A people that has... this process began when the Syrian people peacefully demonstrated in support of reform and transition to democracy. Bullcrap! So I don't have any details to impart to you on the Kinds of information we might have with regards to what's happening in Syria beyond the news reports, but the news reports are bad Bullshit the news reports are bad enough then something really funny happens. There's a Russian reporter I don't know how he got in but Carney is not loving this guy

1:20:09 And the Russian reporter is calling bullcrap on Carney from the beginning and he winds up finally asking his question, which Carney just completely ignores. But it's a I don't know. Something wrong happened. Something went horribly wrong. And this guy snuck into the White House press corps. He's Alex. Alex from Russia Press. That'll be the last time you see him, by the way. Oh, yeah. No, this guy, this guy is dead now already. He does. I don't think the guy lives. He believes they were the right decisions. Andrei. Andrei, that's his name. Back to Syria, please. Of course, the Russians and probably the Chinese, too, say that they are not supporting the Syrian regime.

1:20:49 but they are supporting the international legal regime, the international legal norms that exist in relations between states. They do not want anyone, including the United States, to pick a regime they don't like, incite rebellion against that regime. You understand what I'm talking about? So it may be hard to hear, What he's saying is, you know, the reason the Russians didn't want to join in on the veto is because they follow international law, which is like, don't meddle with another country. Of course, it's bullcrap, but don't meddle with another country's business. Just stay out. You know what I'm saying? Spokesman Carney, right? Basically, what you just presented to us was a rhetorical, political, even economic aggression against that regime. My question is, what?

1:21:39 Are there specific legal grounds on which you do this? Very good question. What are the specific legal grounds on which you can go and place sanctions and try and threaten an entire country like Syria? What are the legal grounds? I would refer you to the United Nations, to our commission there, and to the State Department. What not the president is saying this dude you're supposed to say it, but you saw and what you see today is a broad international consensus Against the behavior of the Assad regime the brutal brutal killing of the Syrian people we think that's wrong and we agree with many of our partners and allies around the world and in the region when we say that the

1:22:31 Think again that the images that we've seen just this weekend. He's struggling now. He's like oh, man How'd this guy get in let me get back to the images straight that the kind of behavior being carried out by the Syrian Forces under the control of the Assad regime is is a vile and unacceptable So that is why we supported the United Nations Security Council resolution. And it's why we'll continue to work with our allies and partners to further isolate and pressure the Assad regime to allow the Syrian people the opportunity to choose their own future.

1:23:08 That's the approach we take. Okay, Andrei's not done. If I may, one additional question. I actually wanted to ask you, to remind you that lynching, lynching, is illegal in the United States. You need to have a court of law. But I will not ask you about that. I will ask you, but can you tell me... Andrei, I feel like it might be 1982 and it's... lynching is illegal. Many like-minded people form a posse, hunt somebody down. I have a question. The question is, can you assure me that you are not working inside Syria through your special forces, whatever it is, through working militarily?

1:23:51 So he's saying, can you assure me that there are no special forces from the United States working inside Syria to stir up this crap and blow up the pipelines? Can you assure me that? That's the question. I'm sorry, what's the question? Are we... Is the United... Can you tell me that the United States is not taking any military steps to undermine the country? I think we made very clear that we are pursuing a political and diplomatic course with regards to Syria. and we will continue to do so. Wow. So he doesn't answer the question. No, he actually did answer by not answering. He couldn't say no. Because that would be a big fat lie because we're there. We're part of this. We have promised Israel to do this. We have promised. That's why they made this idiotic vote when they have no concerns about Cuba.

1:24:43 to vote with us on that stupid resolution. Exactly. Yes Israel we vote no. And Iran by the way ships gas to Turkey as well. Well this is interesting let's go back again back to Searle. I'm not sure about Sealy mm-hmm and and the summary that I that you started to play it because this is kind of interesting because It's quite likely when this is over I will explain or you can figure it out But it's quite likely that all this action about Iran has something to do with this now Is this the Middle East security or the what's really going on in Syria the one that was the Middle East security summary?

1:25:23 Yeah, because you played the other one. And because it's possible that we're kind of missing the point of Iran too. Oh yeah, oh yeah. No, I think... But listen to this, listen to this theory this guy has. There are disputes going on in the opposition. Some say we must cooperate with the Muslim Brothers, others say no. Some say we must seek external intervention, others say no. Some say we need a dialogue. I believe dialogue is the only way out of this. And indeed, the Russians have suggested to both sides to come to Moscow and start a dialogue. But the opposition says, no, we can't dialogue with Bashar al-Assad. He must be toppled first. Well, that's a dangerous position to adopt.

1:26:05 Now, Saudi Arabia is the Arab world's heavyweight. It is the great financial powerhouse. It doesn't particularly like Iran. It sees Iran as a regional competitor. It's frightened of Shia power, the fact that Shias have come to power in Iraq as well. And so it would rather like to contain However, there are some Saudis, some senior Saudis who understand that Saudi Arabia and Iran are really partners. They share a responsibility for the security of the Gulf region and we should start a security dialogue. That's what they need to do rather than being dragged in to this quarrel between the United States and Israel on the one hand and Russia and China on the other.

1:26:55 Yes, the new energy order has made the Iranians and the Saudis natural allies. Now everyone is against Israel because Israel's got the motherlode and these guys are sitting like, wait a minute, we're here in the freaking sand and these guys are going to be sitting in the catbird seat, they're exporting everything. We got to like work together here. And a way to keep that from happening Is to keep Sabre rattling claiming they got nukes because it's been said in many. We've seen a couple of these security

1:27:33 sessions on C-SPAN where they talk about you know they the real problem even though we now assume because all the security agencies claim or say all of them say that Iran's not or Iran's not working on any sort of nuke no but you want to make it seem so because it frightens Saudi Arabia because if Iran actually got a nuke every other country would have to get one because they're afraid these guys are nuts because it is Shiite thing but the fact as this guy expressed is those two countries that maybe what's This is just to keep them from ever getting together by by scaring everybody with this bullcrap exactly

1:28:13 Oh, you know Israel's gonna bomb them. Oh, we got to go in. Bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb. And all of our candidates except for Ron Paul who seems to be the only one that would just love to just back out of this deal. He's the only one that's honest about it. These other guys are just full of it. Well, they probably got back-end deals, dude. Do you know, I mean if you look at... Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, what am I thinking? Hello? Yeah, Ron Paul 76, he's set for life, he doesn't care. Noble energy. Noble energy is the one to look out for. By the way, in Iran we have, you know, we've had all kinds of things happening, little terrorist attacks, little explosions. I'm reading from a report August 12th last year.

1:28:51 An explosion Friday at a gas pipeline that runs from Iran to Turkey has disrupted gas exports. The explosion occurred early in the morning as part of the pipeline that is Turkish territory near the border with Iran. This is happening on an increasing level. And we can apply, I'm thinking now John, seriously, yes Europe is in trouble, absolutely. But when you put together, and by the way, this is what tipped me off with one of our buddies. He sent me a note and said, I can't believe it, but Standards and Poor is thinking of upgrading Greece.

1:28:13 Oh, you know Israel's gonna bomb them. Oh, we got to go in. Bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb. And all of our candidates except for Ron Paul who seems to be the only one that would just love to just back out of this deal. He's the only one that's honest about it. These other guys are just full of it. Well, they probably got back-end deals, dude. Do you know, I mean if you look at... Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, what am I thinking? Hello? Yeah, Ron Paul 76, he's set for life, he doesn't care. Noble energy. Noble energy is the one to look out for. By the way, in Iran we have, you know, we've had all kinds of things happening, little terrorist attacks, little explosions. I'm reading from a report August 12th last year.

1:28:51 An explosion Friday at a gas pipeline that runs from Iran to Turkey has disrupted gas exports. The explosion occurred early in the morning as part of the pipeline that is Turkish territory near the border with Iran. This is happening on an increasing level. And we can apply, I'm thinking now John, seriously, yes Europe is in trouble, absolutely. But when you put together, and by the way, this is what tipped me off with one of our buddies. He sent me a note and said, I can't believe it, but Standards and Poor is thinking of upgrading Greece.

1:29:28 This is a rumor that's out there. They're thinking, and this was on Bloomberg, that they want to upgrade Greece. But when you understand that the CEO and president of the, if it isn't already 100% privatized, the soon to be completely privatized DEPA, the Greek energy company, which will handle all of this gas, which they'll ship off to Europe, used to work at standards and poor. This is, it's, the whole thing is an inside game. And who was it that actually screwed up Greece? Goldman Sachs. So Goldman Sachs puts in a Goldman guy, he's right at the head. The minute this guy's in, all of a sudden Greece and Israel, they're visiting each other, we're hanging out, yeah, we're having discussions. Italy, Goldman guy, why? Because it has to go from Greece to Italy to Europe. These are warring corporations. Corporations I tell you, not countries, corporations. It's crazy.

1:30:22 We just have to figure out which ones so we can invest in them and ride the gravy train. I've been looking up this stuff. Yes! Well, Noble's already got... No, it's a hundred bucks already. You can't get in there. Yeah, it was down to like 50 and now it's a hundred. You can't get in with those guys. Although, you never know. I mean, it's hard. Yeah, you got... There's probably two or three of these players that you can sneak in on. Well, there's investment opportunities. That's what the show's about. So anyway, that's what I this is what I've been spending my week on and and the more I look at it and the more just like oh this makes the whole Arab Spring. It was about stopping the gas to do so because you can't have

1:31:01 Gas coming in from everywhere, then you know the gas becomes so cheap that you can't make any money on it Syria by the way is not the way also this explains why we've done nothing about Bahrain Qatar any of these other countries No gas no no interest no no gas no care NGNC. That's your hashtag. No gas, no care. You got no gas? I don't give a crap about you. You're not important. But think about, and this is my crack pottery, think about Fukushima. All this happened after this discovery. Hey man, what are we going to do about these nuclear plants? Well, I'll tell you what. Why don't you make it really scary and really dangerous and that'll be more demand for gas. Japan can't get enough gas. India.

1:31:46 Israel is already putting deals together to ship their gas to India. India's freaking out, they need gas. Who's gonna send it? Israel. They're doing deals right now. I've got all of the... It's all in the show notes. 381.nashownotes.com. You know, you think with the food they eat, they'd have all the gas you'd ever need. Hold on. Oh, simultaneous dingage. So but I just look at the Arab Spring. I'm like, it makes so much sense, John. Yeah, no, that's just good. I think this analysis, we should just keep this as our basis for watching this action going on in Syria and elsewhere. And we've got to we've got to be able to put the corporate names to the shill. So Hillary Clinton, we know she's in with Nobel.

1:32:32 And even Bill Clinton came out and started yapping about that. So there, but we know that the Clintons really work for the Bushes. And this is a Houston firm, so duh, really simple. But also the Far East Energy Corporation, which is owned by the Chiners. They're also involved and I think they're in the Clinton Bush camp. I'll just say you know Clinton Bush Obama because it's not Obama to whoever is running the show with him because he immediately the first company the first company to To get offshore drilling in the Gulf noble energy never heard of him guess where they have connections You're gonna love it, Switzerland Zuke Zuke Switzerland Glencore Mark Rich Clinton

1:33:17 Connect all those dots and I think if we just keep this in mind you and I because we'd kind of gotten away from it because we Overlook the gas thing, you know, it's like gas and whatever I had no idea and we had actually discussed this Leviathan field but we never thought about the implications now going back and I actually did a lot of the search on my I have one of those Yasi search engines so it filters out all the bullcrap from Google and it just gives you kind of a Part sparse results, man. I found so many amazing articles about how huge problems have been predicted between Lebanon and Iran and Israel because of this gas and the Maritime borders and who really owns it and that and again That's why you get the laws of the sea. That's what Hillary Clinton has been spearheading herself Well, you know this is who really owns it and this belongs to them and and then Cyprus and you know, but it's

1:34:14 It's corporations because you have Russians who want to ship the gas through the Arab pipeline and you have Russians who are in Cyprus and want to get it from Israel. And it could be the same guys for all I know that's just the heads. They don't give a crap and they don't give a crap about people. Well, they don't want anybody else getting it. That's the course of course. And this totally now now for once I can say, yeah, Israel is really important for douchebags. Let's take a break for the moment and then we'll get back. I'm gonna show my support by donating to No Agenda. Imagine all the people who could do that. Oh yeah, that'd be fab. We want to thank some people who appreciate this kind of insight because nobody... I mean you're not gonna get anybody talking about this stuff.

1:35:08 Well, we would have been interrupted. We would have been interrupted. We would have been interrupted at least five times, maybe more by commercials. So we would have lost our train of thought and it wouldn't have worked. You would have switched away and gone to listen to... I was watching the Democracy Now! show where I picked up a couple of things, including a clip I got later. And it was just terrible because at the end this guy's got it got on a roll and she's well We got you got one minute left because we're done You know yeah, you got to rush through his argument in one minute, and they had to kill the show Yeah, they always killed this doesn't work. No this has to be done the way we're doing it And that's why we have to thank Jason Jason dozier or dozier in Kansas City, Kansas hundred eleven dollars and thirteen cents also This is Alexandra Denison

Hi John and Adam, the house hunting and travel karma worked. We found a house that seemed perfect for us. and it has a few issues but because of those issues we may be able to get it at a better price. The house is bank owned which could also help the price. We put in an offer and hoping to hear back this week so I want to ask for some, hopefully the bank accepts our offer, Karma. Yeah, this is from Brian and Susie Morris where we stayed during the Hot Pockets tour from the second mile productions They actually followed up the bank rejected their offer But they said as we know karma works in strange and wonderful ways So they're expecting something crazy good to happen like a whole nother house that they they never even a dog So let me make sure they get that unexpected karma shot.

I'm good for two shows but we promised ourselves we'd give the whole month of November to find to make sure that you know February. February, not November. February. So the jury is still out but to try and pick up the slack of paying the bills I signed up with a voice agent And, you know, they send me these voiceovers. It's mainly, a lot of it's for television. And by the way, when I see what they did choose on television, I'm like, oh crap. I mean, all right, there's no way I could do that. So this one is for Old Navy. This is the level I've sunk to. They should pay us for playing these. They should.

1:46:28 But the instructions said they wanted a Hank Kingsley kind of voiceover. You know, hey now from the Larry Sanders show. Hey now This is how low I have sunk. This is Adam Curry three scripts for Old Navy the perfect pufferizer Two scripts to the perfect pufferizer and sensor It's the perfect weather for a perfect puff at Old Navy.

This is after he requested karma for the first time the worst possible thing happened He won a couple of hundred dollars a few days later. He went back and walked away with $1,000 now he thinks we're all idiots for working for a living That's what that's what 18 year olds do and he went to a reputable sporting goods store and purchased a 1978 Russian military surplus rifle and

1:48:52 So he got his karma right there, a thousand bucks worth of karma, and then he went to the gun range and after ten rounds the rifle blew apart. A metal cover blew off and beamed the kid right in the nose. No serious injuries, but the store and the stores quickly serviced the rifle and it's good as new now. But you know he's calling this a karma misfire. I'm going to disagree. You had your karma right there. A thousand dollars worth of karma. Don't go tempting the karma. That's not a good idea, so we'll give you another shot there as requested, but be careful with it. You've got karma. To be used with caution and consideration.

I got stuff, but I'll... I think I should let you... You got anything?

1:56:30 Yeah, I do have a couple things I wanted to just throw in there. I think there may be some continuation. You know, the way we're handling, the country's handling a lot of this stuff and the way the news organizations are handling stuff. I still believe the CIA has got a battle going on with Obama on some way, shape or form. We had on the New York Times, this clip is NYC writer on Syria. This is Nicholas Kristof. Oh, he's the shill. if you take a look at his uh... wiki page you can see you know it's an interesting fact to it's not your school news handler and snow no no yeah yeah it is the new york times i know i know with it in the course christoph is the guy that got george cluney interested in the whole sentinel that's a possible but that's not that creepy hand no no i always win over he is he's a part of the whole deal chris well whatever the case is that i thought this was interesting because he

1:57:25 is making the claim that there is no reporting going on and that we have to be careful and I still think the CIA is against or there's a battle going on between public opinion, what the Obama administration wants to do and what the CIA wants to do. And first we're going to play this and then I'm going to play a shot across the bow clip which tells Obama to back off. And Nick, I know you've been trying to get into Syria. What do you think about the situation involving the media there? Well, I mean it's really hard to galvanize the international community to care about a crisis when you don't have a lot of footage coming in over television screens. And there are some individuals in Syria who have been doing an absolutely heroic job with their cell phones.

1:58:09 then capturing that video and then taking it at some risk to themselves and trying to post it through in some cases the cell networks of surrounding countries near the borders. And if they are caught with that, if they're caught doing that, they will be arrested and risk execution. So I, you know, boy, I admire their courage. But in the absence, frankly, of CNN and the New York Times and a lot of other international media, it is a lot harder to get that kind of international critical mass of attention at the UN, in Arab League capitals, and especially to create that kind of pressure on Moscow and on Beijing. Yeah, time to bring in Clooney, I say. Notice there was the Moscow-Beijing thing too, which is like, okay, whatever.

1:58:57 So so what so there was this weird thing that showed up on democracy now with gravel voice reading the news about the drones being approved for small four-pound drones are trying to make them legal and all the city so we can be so little drones can be flying outside the windows yeah and then she has this very funny line because she's I've never you've ever watched that show she just reads news items one after another with no segues never has a segue first time ever she has a segue and she says in other drone news Which I thought was why is she doing a segue and then she does a CIA report where one of the ex CIA heads, the one that got the military guy, this is a very interesting, I don't know where they got it or why they even ran it because it just seemed like a messaging more than anything else but play the whole drone story. We'll make it easier for domestic law enforcement agencies to obtain and use pilotless surveillance drones inside the United States.

1:59:57 According to the American Civil Liberties Union, the bill would require the FAA to allow police agencies to operate any drone weighing 4.4 pounds or less under certain conditions. Jay Stanley of the ACLU said, quote, this bill would push the nation willy-nilly toward an era of aerial surveillance without any steps to protect the traditional privacy that Americans have always enjoyed and expected. In other drone news, former CIA Director Michael Hayden has openly criticized the Obama administration's use of pilotless drones to assassinate suspected militants around the world. Hayden said, quote, right now, there isn't a government on the planet that agrees with our legal rationale for these operations except for Afghanistan and maybe Israel. The drone program began under President George W. Bush but has rapidly expanded under Obama.

2:00:49 So far the Obama administration's carried out drone strikes in Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Yemen, Ethiopia and Libya. Hayden also criticized the US assassination of the US-born cleric Anwar al-Awlaki in Yemen. Hayden said, quote, we needed a court order to eavesdrop on him, but we didn't need a court order to kill him. Isn't that something? So let me say something about this. First of all, I've read the the FAA What is the actual? Well, it's the the FAA bill and there's everyone's kind of concerned about the drones, but actually And as an aviator, I'm very interested in this Of course, this does play into our hand John with the Dvorak curry drone corporation because what it does is it makes it illegal to fly essentially a remote-controlled airplane and

2:01:44 Without a pilot's license, so you will have to get a an extra add-on your ticket So I have fixed wing single engine and I have helicopter all rating so I can fly I can fly at Chinook and I can I have But then if you want to fly a drone Or even a remote-controlled aircraft you'll have to have a pilot's license so it's actually a restriction unless you are approved by the FAA and have taken all the tests and What this further does is it finally, and I predicted this would happen, it finally provides the FAA with the $11 billion they wanted to implement the next-gen ATC system.

2:02:24 So this is where it's not about drones, it's about your airplane will have no pilot in it. Okay? So it's gonna start with cargo, but you're gonna get on an airplane and you're gonna feel so incredibly safe because we don't have pilots on board anymore, those pesky pilots who make all those crazy mistakes and kill you all the time. Notice though what she said in this report. She talked about a pilotless drone. And this is something that is, that the, Military-Industrial Complex, and I read all of their newsletters, is all over. What she means here is an autonomous drone. And the autonomous drone indeed does not have a ground crew piloting it. It makes decisions based upon a terrorist profile whether to shoot and kill you or not. That is what the pilot... it's a very key difference.

2:03:14 Because a drone is not pilotless. A pilotless drone is autonomous. And to show you how bad it will be, remember those guys who were coming from England into the US and they put on the tweeters like we're going to go destroy America. What happens is, is these systems that are trailing and basically sniffing Twitter all the time, see, destroy America, it immediately connects to the person's name, which thank you very much Twitter, immediately, I'm sure they have an API into Twitter's database, sends it right over to the border patrol, and they stop the guy, because they didn't know when actually read the tweet, that was automatic. Autonomous systems is very, very dangerous.

2:04:00 Finally, the good news is, John, this will clear the way for our game show. What game show is that, Adam? Win, Lose, or Drone! That's right, now that we're official and we have a pilot's license, the Dvorak Curry Drone Corporation can go on out and we'll be the only ones exclusively to play... to play Win, Lose, or Drone. So I would recommend the movie Robocop, the first one. Yes. Which has this element in it with the automated kind of drone, they're not flying drones but they're drones as it were. Right. And then I want to go back and mention, re-mention the Hayden commentary on drones, the ex-CIA guy who was the most military one of late, he actually came out of the military. Oh, you know, Petraeus is too obviously. But

2:04:53 I just thought that was weird, that he would make these statements about the illegality of these dronings. No, well of course. But there's a lot going on with, I mean the real problem with all of this is that this is, it's not enough money. You see these drones are really efficient. You know, you can get a nice drone that can shoot off some missiles for about 10-15 million dollars and it's just not enough people involved in all these contracts. They don't like it. I was watching some C-SPAN, speaking of the military-industrial complex, and a guy named Frank Kendall, he's from the Pentagon, and I was blown away by this. This is the... He's been nominated as the Undersecretary of Defense for Acquisition Technology and Logistics, and he was at an event called the Center for Strategic and International Studies.

2:05:52 This is how- this is my life. I'm like, I'll watch what this guy has to say. It's very short. Listen, you know the Joint Strike Fighter? The F-F35? Yeah, the one that can't land? Yeah, that would be the one. Now the Joint Strike Fighter is like, I don't know, the project is... Apparently they put the hook in the middle of it so it can't really land on an aircraft carrier. Something dumb like that. But it's hundreds of billions of dollars and you know there's all kinds of countries bought it. I know the Netherlands bought into it, Gitmo Lowlands, and they paid a lot of money for the privilege to manufacture like, I don't know, You know, a wingtip or something. This is a huge multinational project amongst NATO members to build this F-35. And here's what the Undersecretary of Defense for Acquisition Technology and Logistics says about the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter. Putting the F-35 into production years before the first test flight was acquisition malpractice.

2:06:51 It should not have been done. But we did it. So now, Dr. Carter first and now I am dealing with malpractice. Acquisition malpractice. Oh thanks! I like that word. Acquisition malpractice. Yeah. Thanks everybody. That was your tax dollars that went into that acquisition malpractice. Anyone going to jail by any chance? No. No. Just, bah! Makes me mad. There's a I won't play it. I'll play it on Sunday that remember those North Dakota farmers who got that that drone called out on him It's too long there's a lot more to that story which I definitely want to do on Sunday There's a there's a thing I keep forgetting. I keep forgetting to mention mm-hmm JC has a friend living in the Ukraine mm-hmm who is

2:07:51 eventually gonna become part of our organization. Oh really? Well I was just saying. Wait, wait, wait. On the payroll? What meeting was this determined in? You'll see. The point is that there's a rumor, it's a rampant rumor in the Ukraine going around that says, and this could be planted but it's definitely going around. It says that Germany is using either British company or some Russian company, someone, somewhere to print up boatloads of Deutsche Marks. We've already talked about this a couple times haven't we? Yeah I don't know. Yeah yeah. So here's, but anyway so there's a lot of stuff about Germany and how great the place is on PBS. Uh-huh.

2:08:34 And so I ran into this really idiotic piece that was done because they've got that woman, Margaret Warner, they sent her to Germany and she's floating around and they're talking about how great the Germans are and how smart they are and how they export. The Germans export, the little country with one-tenth our size exports more than we do. There's a bunch of messages in these reports, but the one I got the biggest kick out of is the one I have listed here, the idiotic comment. To Germany's success lies in small to medium-sized family firms like this one that manufacture some highly specialized and indispensable piece of equipment. The Germans like to say we make the thing that goes inside the thing that goes inside the thing.

2:09:18 Have you ever heard him say that? I've never heard this. So now, but here's the real irony of this piece. Wait a minute, no no no no. Hold on, no stop. I want to hear that again. I want to hear it again. ...Germany's success lies in small to medium-sized family firms like this one that manufacture some highly specialized and indispensable piece of equipment. The Germans like to say we make the thing that goes inside the thing that goes inside the thing. Oh, hold on a second. Inside the thing?

2:10:02 We make the thing that how many times you said we make the thing make the thing that goes inside the thing that goes inside the thing there's three uses we make the three iterations inside the thing that goes inside the thing okay so we will translate that to German okay and let's listen to this coming out of your BMW one of these days. What? It's not that simple. No, it's not. I like it in English better. Yeah, it's better in English. So here's the part that's idiotic. She's got this company.

2:10:44 The small to medium family firm. Which company is it? Please keep it. It's this company. The business is 1.5 billion. They make that giant drill that drills holes in the ocean. You know that huge Boar machine that drill that dug out the tunnel under the you know the the channel and all the real that's Monstrous machine, that's the little little family-owned company. I'm thinking family-owned small family-owned firm I'm thinking cheese or something That's what I was thinking then it's his company drills that you've seen those things right there Huge I thought maybe it was like the company that makes the Russian babushka dolls or something yeah, no

2:11:30 The 1.5 billion dollar drilling company thing that goes inside the thing that goes inside the thing I Already gave you clip of the day for that that was that very much. No it was very good It was very very good Wow That's just then you want to stay off topic one more clip Yeah, but then I got to wrap it up with something outrageous all right. You can wrap it up with something This is outrageous. Okay, so how what did what to you as a gun? Gun yeah gun. What's a gun you mean the definition of a gun or what I think? How would you define a gun? What's a gun? Something that you put a bullet in and you pull the trigger, and it shoots that bullet up, and it can kill you What's a fake gun a fake gun is exactly that only it doesn't shoot oh?

2:12:20 Right, but it looks like a regular gun and the rest of it. And of course there's laws for example that if you have some sort of product that has a gun shape, you have to make it either yellow or day green or whatever. Right, right. Yeah. So play this guns in school ridiculous report that I picked off off the TV. Officials at Cupertino High School say students should have known better. The school went into lockdown this morning after a janitor saw the handle of this gun sticking out of a backpack. When sheriff's deputies arrived, they quickly determined it's a Nerf gun. Apparently 30 students brought them to school to play a game called Assassin. School officials say no guns, real or fake, are allowed on campus. They say they plan to punish the students but didn't provide any details.

2:13:05 He says that he was hit over the head. It's good. A Nerf gun. It doesn't even look like a gun. It doesn't even look like a gun. It shoots little pieces of foam. Meanwhile, President Obama is shooting a marshmallow gun in the White House and that's okay? Yeah, and what is a rubber band gun also something that's illegal because it's you know fake gun. How about a fake gun? Looks like a gun. It doesn't look like a nerf gun. How about a caulking gun? This is the typical thing going on in the schools today, and it's a dumbed-down bunch of idiots that run these schools really people homeschool. How about a caulking gun?

2:13:46 How about a gun? It's illegal. Wait, wait, wait, wait. How about a stapler gun? Illegal! You can't have a stapler gun. What other kinds of guns can we think of? There's all kinds of groovy guns. A nail gun? A nail gun you probably shouldn't take to school. But the compressor is kind of hard to put in your backpack. So... The whole thing is a fiasco. Yeah, homeschool. I'm in agreement there. I don't know if this jingle is gonna make the cut. I don't think so. I couldn't understand a word he said. Vaccines. Two vaccine stories for you. The first one for Haiti, everybody. This is a report from your national treasure, NPR Radio. The cholera outbreak began near a United Nations peacekeeping base housing Nepalese soldiers. The strain of cholera that raced across Haiti is nearly identical to the predominant strain in Southeast Asia. It's widely believed in Haiti that overflowing outhouses at the UN compound

2:14:42 were the source of the deadly outbreak and an investigation led by French researchers drew a similar conclusion. In the coming weeks, Partners in Health plans to launch an unprecedented and somewhat controversial vaccination campaign against the disease. Now, is there a vaccine that you're aware of that can stop cholera? I believe so. John Lasher says ultimately the way to eliminate cholera from Haiti is through building water and sewage treatment systems, but he says that could take years. While we're waiting, we know that there's a safe and effective oral cholera vaccine that can help prevent people from getting cholera again. By the way, did you hear what he said? While we're waiting...

2:15:22 While we're waiting, we have this little thing. Why wouldn't we do that? I think it would be certainly expected anywhere else in the world. But the vaccination proposal has been criticized by some Haitians and questioned by some other aid agencies. Partners in Health is planning to use a relatively new vaccine, Shanchal. Because of limited global supply of the drug, as well as logistical concerns, Partners in Health is only planning to offer it to 100,000 people, or just 1% of the Haitian population. Sounds to me like there's a bonanza going on, John. Someone got the contract, Sanchol, which is a Swedish-made vaccine only approved by the World Health Organization at the end of September of last year. Coincidentally, the UN who infected the country. Yes, thank you! World Health Organization, part of the United Nations, who infected everybody. It's made by Sanofi Pasteur, a subsidiary of Sanofi Pasteur. And the company, here it is,

2:16:24 It was developed by the International Vaccine Institute in Seoul with support from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. Yeah, so if I could advise the people of Haiti, have them clean up your water, have them give you a decent place to poop, and you might want to consider not taking the vaccine. Because I think that Bill and Melinda Gates are out to kill you. I wouldn't trust anything that comes out of them. Certainly if not, if it's administered by a syringe. This is not an oral vaccine. No, that's the alternative. This is the new one. Ducarol is the other one. Yeah. The most traditional one is Ducarol. Yeah, that's the oral one. That's made by... Why wouldn't they use the more traditional one? Money, baby, money. It's Bill and Melinda Gates. Come on, it's money, dude. All the newer ones cost a lot more money. That doesn't make sense that you'd want to spend all that extra money. No, no, no. This is a money-making scam.

2:17:20 This is money making. Well they got to do something with all that money that they've collected. We got in the show, I'm just gonna stick on vaccines for a second, in the show notes you'll see a great new poster. You might see it at your local dentist which is promoting getting the HPV vaccine because you know. Wait a minute. You can now get it through your mouth. I knew you'd like that. What does this have to do with dental work? Well, it's an oral doctor and if you're having oral sex you can get HPV. So now you can get an HPV shot at your dentist. What? Yes! We had... one of our producers took a screenshot. I knew you'd love it. Unbelievable. Here it is. Word of mouth. HPV in the changing face of oral cancer. And there's a little Asian kid there looking all bummed out. A boy by the way. With HPV.

2:18:20 Yeah, Asian boy with the oral cancer at the dentist HPV. Oh, yeah, these guys they're the the sales guys are great. They really are good. They know what they're doing. Okay, I got it. I'm gonna wrap this up. I got one more. All right. I was gonna stick on vaccines That's why I wanted to wrap. Oh, yeah, we wrap up the vaccine. I'll wrap up the vaccines Of course, I've been focusing on the Leroy which is now almost 20. It used to be the Leroy 12 This is upstate New York where all these girls all of a sudden had tics and twitches and a new guy on the scene so whatever it is, we've tested only Gardasil and

2:19:02 We've tested Gardasil and therefore it can't be a vaccine. Didn't test any other swine flu, anything else, any other flu shots, nothing else. No other immunizations. We tested Gardasil because we actually have to cover up the fact that it's because of Gardasil. Now they bring out this new doctor, a new expert. And he is saying this is PANS, which used to be known as PANDAS, P-A-N-D-A-S. And that stands for Hold on a second, I want to give it to you so you can look it up. Yeah, here it comes. I'm looking at the revision there. Sorry. Pediatric autoimmune neuropsychiatric disorder associated with streptococcal infections. That's what it used to be called. Now it's just pediatric autoimmune neuropsychiatric disorder.

2:19:58 So they've changed the name, but it's very important if you look that up in the book of knowledge. And what that is is an unknown, we think you get some kind of infection and because of this infection then you develop a Tourette's like tics, but we really don't know too much about it. It's really, we really don't know too much about it. No one, it's crazy, this Panda's disease. It's just like, who knows? It's like, but that's what it is according to this doctor. Listen. Yes, Scott and Mary Alice, this is a downstate doctor who was called in by some parents who did not accept the initial diagnosis of conversion disorder. Dr. Rosario Trifiletti has said all along that he thinks the mystery illness in Leroy was caused by an infection. Tonight he announced his preliminary findings do match up with that initial hypothesis.

2:20:42 Truffuletti made his announcement tonight on the Dr. Drew show on the cable network HLN. He said the girls hate him. So you know it's a cover up. Leicester and Leroy are showing signs that they could be suffering from Pediatric Acute Neuropsychiatric Syndrome. Now that's also known as PANS or formerly known as PANDAS. It's an autoimmune disorder caused by an infection which attacks parts of the brain. I can tell you that they are testing positive for, each one is testing for either streptococcus or mycoplasma which are known triggers of the Pandis-Pan syndrome.

2:21:22 Now again, Dr. Trifiletti was called in by some of the parents in LeRoy who were not satisfied with that diagnosis of conversion disorder that they got at Dent Neurological in Amherst. But the jury is still out on this and there are some parents who are satisfied with that diagnosis. Today we heard from one Buffalo doctor who says social media might... Now listen to this. This is where it gets really good for the cover-up. ...actually aid the spread of conversion disorder. Here's what he had to say this afternoon. When you're being exposed also through videos and uploaded images to the same kind of phenomena, if you are a person who is vulnerable in some way because of your own stresses and anxieties,

2:22:06 and in particular if you identify with that individual, I think there is a potential for that to then create further potential spread beyond the area that was initially involved. Okay, so this is really good. So now social media is spreading the disease. This is why, and by the way whenever you have a British guy come on with it like, well, there's some evidence that social media, if you're susceptible to this, so what does CBS News do? And regarding the LeRoy story, we want to tell you about something that we've decided here at Two on Your Side. The doctors involved in this case have said that part of the problem

2:22:49 is that the media is constantly replaying video of these girls on the news and the stress of being on TV even after the interviews have ended are making things worse for them. Well, Two on Your Side not only takes its journalism seriously, we also take our role in our community seriously. And if not showing the teens and their tics will help, then we're in. We've decided until or unless some other diagnosis is realized that we will not be showing the video of the girls and their tics. Cover up like oh, oh, oh, let's we got us. We got to really temper this guys So let's see if this spreads to dr. Drew also saying oh, no, we can't show it because that just spreads the infection I was on MTV for seven and a half years with my Tourette's. Hey raise your hand if it gave you Tourette's. Hey, hey, oh

2:23:40 Give me a prediction. We have seen these sorts of things before and they all have a lifespan and then they die in the media. And nobody talks about the resolution. It never happens. No, of course not. What do you give it? A month? Two weeks? Not even, it's over, done. No video, no story. NVMS. You think there'll be nothing next week? No, no video, no story. By this time next Thursday, I'm putting in the book. No video, no story. No video, no story. If it bleeds, it leads. No video, no story. Okay, good point. No video, no story. I got one, only one last little thing, which is kind of, I don't know, it's kind of weird. Show us your tic, slave! You know the Maldives guy was there was a hoontah or a coo. A hoontah? Is that like a poota?

2:24:24 this island state of Maldives. Yeah, which used to be a nice vacation spot. Yeah, probably still is, but they had his president and they ousted him. Apparently there was a coup d'etat and the vice president took over and he says, I didn't, I didn't never have a gun. But the guy, the president says there was a gun to my head. I had to leave. It was a big bunch of bull crap. Okay. Okay. I've only run into one story that I've seen. I could be wrong. Maybe it's around someplace else, but it's kind of like the Cuban 50th anniversary again. on Democracy Now, they covered a little factoid that I just thought was fascinating. In 2008, Nasheed became the first democratically elected leader of the Maldives. He gained international fame for his passionate warnings about the dangers of climate change to low-lying islands. His reputation was tarnished after the publication of a cable by WikiLeaks that suggested the Maldives signed on to the US-backed Copenhagen Climate Accord in exchange for $50 million. What?

2:25:20 Hey, wait a minute. Can I get some of that? Hey, hey, hey, climate change. Give me 50 million bucks. What? Is that unbelievable? What? And there's no- Just remember that period of time, too, when they were talking about all the islands are getting wiped out, our little islands. Oh, no. Wait a minute. I'm sorry. I was completely wrong. It was a misfire. This, my friends, is without a doubt Cliff of the day! Oh my goodness. That's why you don't want the WikiLeaks around. Oh my goodness. What a great deal. I think I will get me some of that. Well, I can't top that, man. I can't. I think Mickey's been to the Maldives a couple of times on... I think she hung out with like the prince or his son or something. Something weird. I'll have to get the story from her. Before they elected this clown. But anyway, okay. Wow, that's...

2:26:42 I'm blown away by that. Yeah, I remember that. And that was reported everywhere, wasn't it? Yeah, but this little nugget? Hmm, interestingly enough, we don't get any reporting on that at all. How can it be? Wow. Wow. Alright, just code we're working on as we get out of here and we start preparing for our Sunday show, which will be... The last chance to dance for your 214 donation for Valentine Day. Nothing says I love you better than a donation to No Agenda. So we don't know exactly what the code is all about. However, cold kills 33 more in Europe. Dam breaks in Bulgaria. So there's some code reason there. I guess that's part of the gas cabal with a 33. And this was actually from, was this from Fortune magazine, which surprised me, Forbes, I'm sorry.

2:27:41 The Federal Reserve has made it official. After its latest two-day meetings, it has announced its goal to devalue the dollar by 33% over the next 20 years. Hello? That's got to be an investment message we're not on to. What the hell's that all about? Yeah, no, well they did the calculation and this is like, you know about Increase in price level of 2% and so yeah, this is like I don't understand this stuff. I'm a VJ I'm not a economist look into this but but the headline literally reads the Federal Reserve's explicit goal colon devalue the dollar 33% I mean there's got to be a lot of guys reading their morning paper going Oh Martha shit. Oh

2:28:27 There's a 33, bitch! We gotta get in on this! Bonanza time! You know what I'm saying? Would you please talk to Horowitz about that? Yeah. Okay. It may have something to do with propping up the euro just by even saying this. It could be bull. Anyway, we certainly hope you enjoyed today's program.
