582: Eradicate Misery

I don't know. They're telling me to look over here, there, somewhere else. Never, never look in the... We don't start looking for stuff for another, what, two weeks? Oh, for the six-week cycle you mean? Yeah, it's coming up. Well, no, it's... And I'm, by the way, totally convinced it's gonna be in Indianapolis. Okay, well, do you recall one of your predictions for 2014? No. The end of the six-week cycle? Oh yeah, right. Well I think your prediction is going to come true sooner than you expected my friend. Oh? Yeah, we've been busted. Oh, well we've been busted by a bunch of people. Well this is our producer Matt. He sent me a note, he said, in the morning this morning my 16 month old woke me up at 5.40am to clean his shit filled diaper. So the only thing worth watching on TV was C-SPAN.

To Matt's question, which I'll play without further interruption. I'm a watcher of C-SPAN and also a listener of the show called No Agenda. I'm with Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak. They bring up an interesting point a lot in their deconstruction of the media and also what's sort of going on with our FBI and our federal agencies. The guy, by the way, he's looking at the camera like, what? What's this? And they bring up a good point of every six weeks almost. To the week you're on the dot there's some type of FBI sort of bust that goes down and it's been explained too that it's possibly, you know, a cycle that they like to have because otherwise you can't really keep the American people scared. Now when he mentioned the six weeks

kind of confirmed it. Caller will leave it there. Mr. Tariqi. The FBI investigates thousands of cases with proper media attention to those cases. We like to show the American people what it is that we do to keep them safe and also... Wait a minute, didn't he just agree? Yeah. Didn't he just say, yeah, we like, you know, no, we're keeping you safe, Shittison. and try to show criminals and terrorists that we the FBI are out there. We're boss. I'm not aware of any six-week cycle that you're talking about and I'm not aware of the facts of your case. All that I'll say is the individuals that you referenced were brought through a very regimented legal process with a strict adherence to the Constitution of the United States of America and a jury of their peers will decide whether

They did what they were accused of doing. Wow. Good job, Matt. Excellent. Excellent. Yeah, well maybe you're right. Maybe the six-week cycle would be canned in favor of something a little... You know what they need to do is an offset cycle for a four-seven. You can't go too far because you can't go too long past six weeks. I think that's, I think Matt kind of hit it, which is our thesis, which is you can't, the American public starts to relax. Yeah, exactly. So you got to keep them tense and on edge so they could do But they still have to forget the other one. You know, the six is the magic number. I don't know what they're going to do about it. Maybe they'll just say, screw it, who listens to those idiots? That's probably what's going on right now. Hey boss, I got this call about the six week cycle and who is it? I don't know, are you talking about some dudes? Some guys. We looked it up, it's a stupid podcast. It's a podcast. Wait, are you telling me a podcast you're concerned about anything a podcaster's are doing?

So the six-week cycle, which would kick in around February 1st or 2nd, you were saying possibly Super Bowl, it would be even better because it's at the Meadowlands, which is New Jersey, it's right near New York. No, I've actually specifically said that I don't believe they would attack a sporting event like that because it would hurt business. You can't hurt business. You just want to terrorize the public. Remind them who's boss. Now Indianapolis came up in that report from Scott Pelley where he said this guy in Indianapolis is shoveling snow and it had nothing to do with the report or anything else and it specifically was Indianapolis. And so then I'm watching the PBS show and they have changed, they have this, I was watching the end, it's only the BBC America, they have this little ending where they show this kind of a weird globe and it's kind of just, it's kind of made out of ribbon and it's kind of spinning and there's little cities coming floating around on the screen.
