I had this one all set up This is an ironic beginning of the show Yeah, this isn't how it supposed to be This is crazy I'm now starting to worry that some of my clips got messed up. Uh-oh, oh no! You want to start the show over? Maybe we can do it tomorrow? No...no..tomorrow. Not when i gotta do the show tomorrow let me just see let me just see where this went so this is a judge in Lubbock Texas Lubbock nobody goes to Lubbock which we drove by we drove by lubbock It's usually dusty

01:51 Do we have any donors from Lubbock? I don't think so. Yeah, I think we do have a donor from Lubbock actually. It's just so dusty in Lubbock that when you try to type something on the computer all the dust gets in there and shorts out your machine. I have a feeling that we do have listeners from Lubbock. So anyway he is trying to raise taxes by 1.5% and yeah see I knew it there was something very wrong with my clips oh man Well, okay. Let's go to a... Now I want to play the clip! Yeah, sure you do.

02:35 Well, you came back from your trip. I got it! Let's discuss what you found out today. He is going to try and hand over the sovereignty of the United States to the UN. What is going to happen when that happens? I'm thinking worst case scenario. Civil unrest, civil disobedience, civil war maybe... We're not talking just a few riots here and demonstrations we are talking We're talking Lexington, Concord take up arms and get rid of the guy. Okay now what's going to happen if we do that? If the public decides to do that he is going to send in UN troops I don't want them in Lubbock County okay so I'm gonna stand in front of their person armored personnel carrier you can say you're not coming in here and the sheriff I've already asked him I said are you gonna back me? He said yeah I'll back ya well I don't want a bunch of rookies out there true I want trained

03:25 equipped, seasoned veteran officers to back me. Whether you agree with the judge or think his theories are unrealistic the reality is a tax hike that will provide an additional $832,433 coupled with about a two million dollar cut to make these numbers work. Attention citizens come to arms! Come to arms! Grab your military-styled AK47 Obama is handing over the country to the UN. That is all, you may go back home now." So wait a minute let me get this straight... So this guy wants- I've never seen a pitch like this he wants more taxes for his people It's one of the best pitches ever

04:13 He wants more taxes for the people, for his sheriff's department. Yeah! He wants more money for his group so to defend that area against the attack of the Obama-UN military. Takeover. Now let's assume... Let's just daydream for a minute and just say that yeah, all hell breaks loose. Hold on a second hold on a second let me day dream for a second. Let's do this properly Hell is breaking loose all hell's breaking loose so So he calls up the UN we have an army hello We have drones, maybe they could just blow this guy out of the water in five seconds.

CHAPTER 02 / 37 Discussion

Todd Akin Legitimate Rape Controversy and Dictionary Definitions

Missouri Representative Todd Akin sparked national outrage by claiming that "legitimate rape" rarely results in pregnancy because the female body has ways to "shut that whole thing down." The discussion examines the linguistic shift of the word rape in political discourse and its connection to the Romney-Ryan campaign's stance on abortion. The term is increasingly framed within the context of women's healthcare decisions.

05:50 Yeah, it's pretty funny. And it is of course. Man, there's so many distractions going on! In fact I should just play the jingle right off the top. Look over here! Nothing to see here... Number one top-of-the list has got to be this for those of you who are not in Gitmo Nation proper here in the United States of Gitmo It's gotta be this Todd Akin legitimate rape thing Which What an idiot which has an interesting connotation though Has all kinds of connotations, and I'm not actually absolutely sure if he knows what he's set off. He was just obviously some I've no guys like this he is a

06:32 a know-nothing blowhard and he's just yacking away, and he's just off. He messed up is what I did where he knows nothing. He doesn't know the sensitivities of anybody. It's completely out of touch with the popular culture, and he just starts blathering because he likes to hear himself talk on not even on a local on a national news channel which is some local thing which makes it even funnier so let me play the quote which is about 30 seconds and then there's a couple other things that I found interesting that as it relates to the definition of rape. What about in the case of rape? Should it be legal or not? Well, you know people always want to try and make that is one of those things so how do you slice this particularly tough sort ethical question It seems to me first of all from what I understand from doctors That's really rare if its a legitimate rape

07:22 uh... the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down but let's assume that maybe that will work or something you know i think there should be some punishment for the punchman oughta be in the rapist and a switch and not attacking the child payments they were women's issues got a switch Hey woman, screw you dude. Your switch ain't working. Click click click click click hey! So of course what this is about is abortion once again and the word... No actually to back up a second it's just about two things abortions an issue the second one is the controversy over Ryan versus Romney attitude about

08:03 abortion. No it isn't, this is about abortion you're right the whole thing's fine. Thank you however what we're seeing now is a couple of interesting things So first of all, let's just look at the word rape because I always find when someone is defining a word. I like to look it up and I look it up in the dictionary. Rape so it's a noun obviously or I guess it can also be a verb but we start with now right? The unlawful compelling of a person through physical force or duress to have sexual intercourse that to me sounds like the definition of rape correct

08:40 Absolutely. This really shouldn't be used in any other context. Okay, now this is interesting There are some other definitions which I think we should look at any act of sexual intercourse that is forced upon a person We have statutory rape Which means you're having sex with someone who was a minor? We have rape as an act of plunder violent seizure or abuse despoliation Violation, such as the rape of the countryside. This is also an important use of the word rape because now of course now the word rape is being hijacked Archaic use the act of seizing and carrying off by force then we have the verb to forced to have sexual intercourse to plunder to seize take or carry off by force and this dates back to the 13th century Interested interrupt you for a second? Yeah

09:34 So the Amtrak train is going by right now. I can see it down the hill. How many my rape sequence man who gives a crap about your hands going one mile an hour? Hmm anyway go on sorry That's how you're saying high-speed rail here It comes in okay, so when he's talking about a legitimate rape and this is all about abortion And by the way You'll see in a moment that the word abortion And the act of abortion is now synonymous to health care, women's health care. Which I find very interesting how this is turning and twisting in the media So now let's go over to Gitmo Nation East where we have another rape case This is interesting because this is a rape case against Julian Assange who was being accused of rape

CHAPTER 03 / 37 Discussion

George Galloway Defends Julian Assange Against Swedish Rape Allegations

British politician George Galloway defended WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange against sexual assault allegations in Sweden, arguing the claims do not constitute rape by common standards. Galloway described the accusations involving consensual encounters as "sordid" but not criminal. The commentary highlights the legal complexities of consent and the international effort to extradite Assange from the Ecuadorian embassy in London.

george galloway· julian assange· sweden· extradition· sexual assault· london

10:22 by not one, but I believe two Swedish ladies and this is the entire reason for his extradition to Sweden. Here's George Galloway who was a member of parliament he has a podcast Which is very interesting, a video podcast. He does it in black and white with like a David Letterman microphone He's a real blowhard he's a commie I think right John? Is that true? Yeah Listen to what he has to say. I need to turn to because what i'm going to say It's going to be controversial but somebody has to Say this Because a kind of reign of intellectual terror Has now descended upon This issue

11:05 at least in Britain and I suspect elsewhere in the Western world. Let me tell you that I think Julian Assange's personal sexual behaviour is sordid, disgusting...I condemn it! If the allegations made by these two women were true 100% true and even if a camera in the room captured them they don't constitute rape. At least not rape as anyone with any sense can possibly recognize it and somebody has to say this let's take woman A, Woman A met Julian Assange invited him back to her flat gave him dinner went to bed with them had consensual sex with them claims that she woke up to him having sex with her again

12:13 Something which can happen, you know. It can happen, you know? So is that a legitimate rape John or an illegitimate rape is the question I think these two sides of the ocean are related in this case Is that a legitimate rape when you are given dinner have consensual sex You wake up in the morning and find out he's still having sex And your being penetrated...is that legitimate or illegitimate rape Well this is very interesting question because this has been asked on numerous Law and order and other American crime shows And it's been brought up in the topic, and it seems to me In fact he was even brought up with a husband-and-wife situation I believe in one story

13:00 where he was you know having sex with his sleeping wife and it became a rape case. But is that right? This this isn't not in any been any not by the definition of the dictionary tune I don't see how that's rape but unless it was unless somewhere along the line there was It was mentioned by the woman in advance, that hey by the way I know some people like to do this sort of thing. Hey man don't bum me in the morning! Don't do it dude, I'm not into that. Brush your teeth first. And there's other situations where a woman might say or hint or even really appreciate getting woken up by sex and

13:39 There have been women that like to get woken up by sex and so they like to get woken up by rape, by these standards? I would like to say that a part of the conversation is not taking place here. Men can also be raped If you know forceful sex physical force duress to have sexual intercourse now, you can also get really drunk I'm just playing devil's advocate here. You can go home with someone with a woman and You know and she looked really good after ten beers But the next morning you're waking up and she's having sex with you and you like oh no, you know you want it? No one of these where you want to chew your arm off instead of removing your your arm from under her pillow

CHAPTER 04 / 37 Discussion

Barack Obama Addresses Forcible Rape and Women's Healthcare

President Barack Obama criticized Republican rhetoric regarding "forcible rape," asserting that "rape is rape" and should not be parsed by politicians. Obama framed the controversy as a reason why male politicians should not make healthcare decisions for women. The administration's messaging seeks to link the GOP's stance on sexual assault definitions to broader restrictions on abortion and contraception.

14:25 That could also then in this case be rape, but the president luckily who has not appeared before the press corps for months decides to come out and speak about this issue Which was because this is so important a scheme of things which by the way was scripted as you'll see if you go To the show notes 437 dot NA show notes calm. You'll see that he is continuously reading off of his piece of paper But here is what he had to say and I found that it widened the definition even more. Well, let me first of all say The views expressed were offensive

15:02 Rape is rape. Rape is rape, let's just take that as a... Let me just mark that down. Rape is rape however the president seems to think there are more forms of rape. Well wait no it can't be because he just said rape is rape. No way thank you Ben, here all week. And the idea that we should be parsing and qualifying and slicing what types of rape we're talking about doesn't make sense to the American people. Hold on a second, we're having this exact conversation I think it is very important to define this or try to define at least have the conversation Mr President please elaborate and certainly doesn't make sense to me so that what i think these comments do underscore is why we shouldn't have a bunch politicians

15:54 a majority of whom are men, making health care decisions on behalf of women. So there is the translation from abortion to healthcare decisions? Yeah this is the old abortion argument slipped in the side door. Which by the way ever since I've been on this planet I can only recall presidential elections that come down to this It's always about abortion, about women's rights. But now it's female health care that apparently is abortion. And so although these particular comments have led Governor Romney and other Republicans to distance themselves I'm still going to screw them right here from the podium! I think the underlying notion that

16:44 We should be making decisions on behalf of women for their health care decisions. Or qualifying forcible rape... Forcible rape? Hold on a second! Well he just parsed the rape thing, I thought rape was rape No you have forcible rape What is not unforce it I mean, so there's two different kinds of rape. He just said there wasn't no John he just said he overrode his original comment by saying that there's something called forcible rate versus non-forcible versus Non-forcible rapist two kinds now what is he can he make up his mind? What is non-forcible rape Okay, I'm sorry. I'm very confused and I think that this does warrant a conversation about

17:30 Not to mention that now rape and leading to abortion is a woman's health care issue which men have no say in. The whole... we are so screwed up in this country, We are so completely screwed up I mean if a woman says no that's consent I think consent consensual sex I think that's where you can get into duress Right, duress. If it was in... Unconsensual? Unforcible That would be duress But to say this forcible and non-forceable rape I find that weird Well, I find this whole thing to be tedious In fact, I had a clip I was going to run later but might as well run it now since we're on this topic

Prince Harry Naked Photos in Las Vegas and British Press Lockdown

Photographs of Prince Harry appearing naked during a game of "strip billiards" in a Las Vegas hotel suite were published by American gossip sites. While the images circulated globally, the British press initially refused to publish them due to the ongoing Leveson Inquiry into media ethics. Some analysts suggest the incident was a public relations maneuver to manage the Prince's public image.

18:27 which is Glenn Eiffel on the idiot Aiken. Oh, this is a woman from Democracy Now! Actually let me say I'm gonna save this clip for a little later in the show because it leads better into some to our donation segment then let me finish but you finished us up because there was another distraction of the week that I found interesting and a contrast to the rape stuff. Go ahead, I have a couple but... Well it was interesting to me that JC didn't even know this was going on but i think that the Aiken rape story which took over our became our distraction of the week didn't hold a candle

19:06 To the, um... and the clip here is yes the skittish Brits. Now this was a great distraction of the week This was a great distraction for the week for the Brits! Yes He was last seen in Britain at the closing ceremony of the Olympic Games With the world looking on Prince Harry was there as the Queen's personal representative A few days later, and a very different Harry was on display. In Las Vegas in a swimming pool in a nightclub He was there with friends on what officials say was a short break from his military duties But it was what happened later in his hotel suite that's causing acute embarrassment to the third-in-line to the British throne An American gossip website published photographs of Prince Harry naked apparently playing strip billiards A woman companion also appears to be naked

20:00 The mainstream media here in Britain has so far chosen not to publish the photographs, mindful no doubt that Lord Justice Leveson is currently writing his report on the British press. Yeah... First of all it cannot be strip billiards in Las Vegas like to get one thing straight It can be strip pool I really agree with you. I doubt seriously there's a true billiards table in any suite of hotels in Las Vegas, nobody even knows what billiards is generally speaking although like a lot of these strip games it does involve balls. Have you ever bought one now?

20:43 So the BB... so what's interesting, there are a couple of things interesting about this. One is that the British press has entirely shut down when it comes to showing these pictures and the pictures are pretty tame although I look at the picture and you know the caption says here's Prince Harry giving a girl a bear hug from behind! And i'm like no that would be rape That's what I am seeing as he penetrating but okay or whatever you do or don't want to say. But when you see the BBC, I've been just following their distraction here's one of their stories is it normal to drink and end up naked? Really BBC there's a big debate over whether British newspapers should be allowed to show images of the prince naked in Las Vegas hotel room reportedly with a group of women

21:32 And then it says, It's quite normal. It's quite normal to be 28 and get naked after a drink! The whole thing is about... We blame our nakedness on drinking that's why... The nudity, this expert says all feels a bit naughty. A deliberate breach of taboo Some people will have a drink or cigarette because it seems like slightly naughty thing to do I wouldn't put in this category the idea is you're more vulnerable It's all up front and barriers are down There some sense that you're more open and connected with people Yeah! The prince was very connected with that girl So i think there two things going on

22:11 One as you heard at the end of the report because of the whole Murdoch phone hacking scandal The entire British press is on lockdown and they're very afraid To I'm pretty sure this was a gay orgy, and that's funny. I had the same sense really yeah I've gotten I've gotten several reports. I mean Prince Harry has in fact recently even talks about In fact he said in one of an interview believe that he's not gay Yeah, just so you know boys. I'm not gay Just want to put that out there and if you look up in fact you type If you go to Google go prince harry gay you run into this sort of Some of this issue shows up

23:03 But anyway, it was a big distraction and a good one but I don't think it was a planned one. But wow! It's so tiring to have to go and find news amidst all of this. There is a gay sex attack in April 2nd 2012 on Prince Harry's army base. Whatever the case may be...it's neither here nor there But yeah, I think it was a... This was premeditated. This was put out there for the purposes of making Prince Harry look not gay. Oh okay! I like that one. Look at-look he's bear hugging a woman He can't possibly be gay

New Mexico Lightning and the Efficacy of Rain Sticks

A personal anecdote describes witnessing intense lightning storms in Clovis, New Mexico, during a road trip. The narrative explores the use of a handmade Chilean rain stick, claiming it successfully ended a local drought after being used in Austin and Clovis. The phenomenon is discussed as a potential test of meteorological influence through traditional instruments.

23:42 And he's playing strip pope billiards. Strip Billions with a bunch of females. That's a manly game, strip billions! This is balls and balls. It's a manly game for many women. In the morning to you there John C. Dvorak up there. Good morning to you Adam Curry in the morning at all ships that see boots on the ground subs in the water all the knights who have supported this show over the years and all the people that have their feet in the air as we speak. Yes, and ankles in the straps And of course our artists who always do a great job for us at noagendaartgenerator.com Thank you very much Nick The Rat for the previous episodes artwork Wrapping up the Hot Pockets 2009 tour John Where did we leave off? We left off when I was in... where was I? New Mexico right? In Albuquerque

24:31 Yeah, you were in Albuquerque in the back of a gas station. The meth capital of the world. And then you're on your way to Clovis? Mm-hmm and so we hauled out to Clovis and We stayed with Dame Margaret and Sir Kent and his lovely family and it was so nice John So Clovis is basically an Air Force town I think was it, is it Hill Air Force Base? No not Hill. But its an air force town and uh... It was quite a drive actually and do you remember you were talking about New Mexico lightning

25:12 You got to see it. Oh my god, no I tell you or not So we are an Air Force base? We're right at the cannon Thank you where it's Santa Rosa think it was Santa Rosa and at that point, you know, you basically turn off The main drag, you know drive another two hours to Clovis and and Mickey was driving as she's like um Would you mind driving? And by the way, every cloud to Mickey was a tornado. And it's funny because I'm looking at a couple of these clouds and like... There are no tornadoes there! I'm looking like damn she might be right Is that a tornado? Mmmmm....I don't know. I wouldn't even say I'd know so i don't know It looked pretty big You could see walls on both sides and we got caught in hail

26:01 It was outrageous, just the weather. And by the way this is of course because of the rain stick I'm now completely... Did you pump it? What happened? Well You know i've been driving with this thing This thing has been in the sin bin So its been shaking and I think that the way it works Is there's essentially a 6 to 12 hour delay and I can tell you why After shaking it and making it rain So, we were at Sir Kent and Dame Margaret's place. Lovely family that got a six-week old human resource they took care of. Dame Margaret used to have a huge ranch with tons of cattle and she had to sell them all because she couldn't feed them anymore because of the drought more about that later on in the show

26:54 And which was very sad and you know so she basically I told her hey let's open an RV park. I know how to run these things now, we'll open up the first swinging wife swapping RV park. She's like pray for rain pray for rain. So it hasn't rained in weeks if not months in Clovis. It rains nearby but never really in Clovis We leave and we get a text message about six hours later. She said, I can't believe it rained in Clovis So now i'm thinking the stick there's something to it so we come back uh... were back in Austin and they were unpacking the bin and I get the stick And it was really muggy like it had to rain but yeah I knew was raining up north little more towards Dallas but not where we were

27:48 And Mickey's like, please shake the stick. Shake your stick boy! Make it rain. She's talking about the rainstick though right? So I shake the stick and yeah nothing happens then at five o'clock in the morning i'm awakened by an unbelievable rain storm and uh... and the pillows on the furniture outside were still out so I get up is four thirty five o'clock The rain is raining straight down. So there's no wind, it's not going sideways so it's not even coming onto the porch and I'm like wow this isn't a pretty big storm! So I go on to the Doppler radar all of Texas... No rain! This is not even on our radar. I'm like refreshing, refreshing then finally shows up this storm, this rainstorm is right over Lake Travis right over our house

28:38 It just appears out of nowhere and in all of Texas there is no rain. It rains for an hour, then stops. So I am convinced that i have the power... You might! It's possible. Stranger things have happened. So we need to test this now my general... You have it there with you? Yes But before you do that tell people again what the lightning is like in New Mexico. Its outrageous Isn't more outrageous than any lightening you've ever seen Yeah, yeah I'd have to say. Yeah, I've seen lightning all over the world and i've seen New Mexico lightning and new mexico lightning is astonishing And it's consistent and as easy-to-watch and it's just boom boom boom boom beautiful But the flashes are just beyond belief. Yeah they're huge there particularly against that place I was in

29:31 NFA once when they're having lightning first time I saw a good lightning storm there and it was I went outside this restaurant to watch it It was just boom boom boom, and he would go boom And then the whole town would go dark yeah because it took out the power now of course and then two seconds later The town pops back up apparently. They have circuit breakers Designed for light that turns back on interesting yes So it goes out and comes back one two three boom very good hilarious Anyway, that's New Mexico. So here is the belief... Now I don't know if I can make it rain everywhere or only where the rain stick is physically present

Rain Stick History and No Agenda Hot Pockets Tour Wrap

The history of the rain stick is traced to South America, specifically Chile, where it is classified as a percussion instrument. A recap of the "No Agenda Hot Pockets 2009 Tour" notes that while the trip was a financial loss, it allowed for direct engagement with producers across the United States. Producer Sherry Osborne of Salt Lake City is credited with crafting the specific rain stick used by the hosts.

30:07 So we're going to... I would think. Well, I don't know! It hasn't rained well?

Um, how do you use it since when did the rain stick become? Such as such an incredible instrument It's not an incredible instrument. It falls under the percussion Family of instruments is not a great instrument. Is it dumb instrument? You can't like play different notes

32:00 No, it's not even... It's just a noise maker. But if you Google rain stick it'll tell you it's an instrument! A musical instrument in the percussion family Now is this a rain stick from where? Because I think they really originated in Africa. No, apparently the South America. Okay Chilean. Chilean yes. Looks like there's a lot of Chilean rain sticks. Yeah Chilean and...

It really is as when it comes to rain sticks. It's a beautiful stick Huh, it's a really nice-looking stick so you know hey But what if it what if it works now I could travel around the country just making it rain everywhere Yeah, you probably be making more money than we're making On that tip We have done the final analysis of the No Agenda Hot Pockets 2009 Tour. A financial fiasco, I can let you know. You went right up the gut! There's nothing going on in this part of the country that you get big turnouts like it would in Connecticut for the Pacific. Well also we... You should do the Northeast Corridor. We also had to pay for the bin remember? Yeah So we had to pay for the bin and for the gas so pretty much at a loss

33:32 The tour of course in no way can we say that we had a loss because we met some Amazing people had some great experiences made rain all the way home it was great to meet our producers to be grounded once again and To know that everyone is prepared every single one of our producers is prepared Yeah, even day Margaret's armed. She bought herself a judge on Yeah? Yeah. Sherry Osborne is the name of our producer in Salt Lake City who makes these, you can find her on Facebook she's one of a I think I'm friends with her on Facebook so is Ms. Mickey She needs to get a web page up and sell these things because they're really good looking and apparently they work Well for you... Well let's see within six There was no rain in Austin at all Within 6-12 hours let's see if it rains up there in northern Silicon Valley would not be a trip

Ethanol Mandates and Global Corn Price Spikes

Governors from several U.S. states and the UN Food and Agriculture Organization have called on the EPA to waive the 10% ethanol mandate for gasoline due to record droughts. Corn prices have risen to $8 per bushel, leading to concerns about global food shortages and starvation in poor nations. Critics argue the mandate benefits the corn lobby while negatively impacting the environment and food security.

epa· ethanol· corn· biofuels· food prices· drought

38:59 And of course we have another way that you can help us by propagating our formula. Our formula is this, we go out and hit people in the mouth. Don't worry shut up slave! That's a similar quality. I think the walkie talkies better. It requires two hands. I like the bleep at the end. The Roger beep? Did you get me, did you get me good buddy could you hear me? Um...I think i've discovered a fantastic opportunity for us John

39:59 Which comes at a good time of course in fact yet it is yet another no agenda Money-making investment scheme that we will absolutely take no action on and be kicking ourselves over later. How does that sound? It sounds just like what we do Sounds par for the course for the car for the course, so I've been seeing The following reports every I just picked one at random And on a hunch, I started to Google around and see if my intuition would pay off. Here's an example of a big conversation we're having right now certainly in the United States but probably worldwide although in the US it is a little more ingrained in our legal system

40:45 With record drought destroying crops across the country, corn prices are up 60% causing a worldwide ripple effect. Governors from Maryland, Delaware, North Carolina and Arkansas Democrats all have now asked the EPA to waive the 10 percent ethanol requirement for gasoline It's universally acknowledged that ethanol is raising the prices of food it's not lowering the prices of gas it may in fact be raising the prices of gas and it's having devastating environmental effects in terms of coastal pollution. Coastal dead zones may be increasing because of the runoff from fertilizer intensive corn crops The director general at the UN Food and Agriculture Organization Jose Graziano da Silva has called for a suspension of ethanol mandates too fearing that price spikes in US corn exports may lead to starvation in the poorest nations yet, the administration is not yet acted to waive the mandate

41:35 What I can tell you is that the EPA has made clear that they're working closely with the Department of Agriculture to keep an eye on yields. So this is going all the way to the top, this a big conversation? And they will evaluate all the relevant information when assessing that situation. When asked recently about waiving the mandate, Deputy White House Communications Director Jen Psaki said this of President Obama's ethanol view quote he absolutely believes in it he thinks it's a driver of the economy here and a key component of renewable energy In 2008 the EPA denied a similar waiver request from Texas Governor Perry It is combination of politics lack of desire not to look weak

42:14 Alright, so the report goes on a little bit longer but the point is made. The conversation right now is there's a mandate in the United States of Gitmo Nation to have a minimum of 10% which the EPA just won a court case it will increase to 15%. of ethanol in gasoline, which and I'm so happy to do this program with you John because you actually understand the stuff. You understand the blends how it works but also the policy behind it is interesting. The ethanol is made primarily from biofuels that are part of the mandate

42:51 And this is now made from corn, which is interesting because it's not like the way I understand that. It's not like you make ethanol from corn and there's no food for cattle. It's actually a byproduct so it's just the expense of it because we've had a bad crop this year probably due more to Monsanto than any drought as my suspicion So question number one for you, John. Ethanol... What does it do in your gasoline? Could you basically just dilute your gasoline with water or could you pee in your tank would make any difference? Is ethanol actually something that burns I mean is this something that works? It's actually quite a good fuel The drawback to ethanol and it has high octane, its'a good product

43:35 But people don't like it because it delivers 10% less energy per gallon than gasoline does. An outstanding product is what you mean? Sorry? Not a good product, an outstanding product It's an outstanding product I believe. I like ethanol. I like the idea of putting in a little bit into gasoline for one or two reasons One of them is for one thing its extremely hygroscopic Which means it sucks up water and generally speaking most Americans have Water that accumulates in their gas tank usually sits at the bottom and stays there and starts to rust the tank up And it causes all kinds of problems now part of this debate John is that? It takes more energy to create

44:14 Ethanol than ethanol delivers is this true. I believe that the corn process yes, I believe I don't know But I have the numbers I've seen indicated it does take more energy than it's worth especially the moving around but I'm not so sure that that's true with the cane sugar or the key version of ethanol which is the stuff they make in Brazil? I think you can make money without one Yeah, it's a loser. Yeah there's... yeah that's what I wanted to hear! It's a loser okay so why was this law created? Well, if it was me doing the deconstruction just off the top of my head I would assume it was the corn lobby looking for some easy government money. Exactly! And they got it and here's what is going to happen...I have a prediction about how this is gonna go down. Hold on your prediction for second. No actually I'd love to hear your prediction My prediction is that because of the event by the way had a clip last week we didn't run

45:16 This drought and shortage that we're coming up with, crop shortage is duplicated in Russia. which is not reported in the United States. But Russia has the same exact problem, and so there's gonna be a huge problem and the report that I had was the Koreans are freaked out about this because they, the Koreans only have 27% of their food supply from Korea which is terrible but they have to import a lot of stuff and they import from us mostly, eat the imported grain. They're the ones pushing for the drop this ethanol bull crap. So let's go back to your original thesis

45:51 which I agree with, that this was the corn lobby. The corn lobby said, heh, what's better than feeding cows is feeding everybody's car? That would be awesome! And they got all kinds of subsidies and now of course corn is at $6 a bushel, a bundle, a barrel, a barn... What is it? Six dollars a bushel, which is very expensive So what could we do? If there's if there's a lobby that really needs help right now. And this was my hunch, if there's a lobby that really needs help right now how could we really make these guys blow us? Like really, really blow us give them some subsidies to make them blow us even more by taking out their false teeth and at the same time look like heroes because we saved the world from starvation! And I was thinking... Actually it looks like its running $8 a bushel

CHAPTER 10 / 37 Discussion

Celanese Corporation Technology for Natural Gas Ethanol

Celanese Corporation has developed proprietary technology to produce ethanol from natural gas, which is currently cheaper than corn-based production. CFO Steven Sterin stated that the Renewable Fuel Standard currently prevents the company from participating in the U.S. market, leading them to build plants in China instead. Investors are monitoring the company as a potential beneficiary if U.S. legislation shifts to allow natural gas-based biofuels.

celanese corporation· natural gas· ethanol· biofuels· proprietary technology· dallas

46:51 So it's heating up. Here is my prediction for the Red Book and I'm very happy, and this is what you want to write down John The company is Celanese C-E-L-A-N-E-S-E And here is a report from just six weeks ago on Fox News with the CFO of Celanese So did you know you can use natural gas to make ethanol? We were just talking about what we could use all this cheap natural gas for. Celanese Corporation has technology now, to do that, to make ethanol from natural gas and they say it's cheaper than corn. Steven Sterin is Celanese Corporation CFO and the president of their advanced fuel division he joins us from Dallas thank you so much for joining us because I have covered energy for a long time but i did not know that you could use natural gas to make ethanol are there a lot of people out there doing this

47:40 Hi Melissa, thanks for having me on. It's really an honor to be with you. Blah blah blah... It's not a surprise that a lot of people don't know about this because this breakthrough is a recent and new breakthrough for Celanese and it's proprietary to our technology base So there is my hunch paying off! There is technology to create ethanol from natural gas which now is under three dollars a megabutt and it has to be at least three dollars for it to make sense. We've got all this infrastructure, all these pipelines being put in place... What?

48:18 Better scenario, can you imagine then stop the presses save the world feed everybody lower the price of corn push the subsidies over here. We've got it we have all this natural gas which will still be you know it's going to benefit everybody because once the price goes up and doesn't just go up in America goes up everywhere everybody freaking rocks! We finally got natural gas at a price where we can clean-up Yeah, a part of the great natural gas scam. By the way there's another company called Carbon Sciences. You want to unplug your microphone? Oh okay. Okay yeah because I sent you to a website and you're still using Firefox or whatever Chrome and then it went all helium How long does it take to unplug the microphone? Okay I'm back Am I? Yep Am I back? Yep You're back Hello Hello

49:25 Hello? I'll be back in a second. Okay, meanwhile... Can you hear me? Yeah, yeah! I can hear you no problem, yeah Oh okay well here's the point Carbon Sciences Another company which I did go. Yeah, I hit a video yet this would cause the problem But it did this work at do I sound okay? You sound good This is what it isn't and this damn audio has got a bad driver Okay So carbon science's turns natural gas into gasoline wouldn't that be like a better solution than running on this low energy methanol ethanol yeah but that's the next step first we've gotta get because they'll get the subsidies and For the ethanol and then once it all they need is the price to go We've been tracking this for months now John. All we need is the price for natural gas to go up These guys have been trying everything there's too much of it They own that what better way than to have the government help you set the price Yeah, well that's true put in the red book. I don't know what am I putting into Redbook? What's your prediction? You did the corn guy's gonna get more money no

50:26 See, that's my prediction. No no no! That the natural gas guys will be allowed to make ethanol that we know... They're already allowed! No they're not allowed! Wrong wrong wrong wrong! Listen... Let me ask you, there is one thing standing in the way though and this is kind of an important point Is that the government is blocking you from doing this versus making ethanol out of corn? Yeah, you know that's really the unfortunate part. You know as we think that technology like this...you mentioned having plentiful natural gas but trying to find a way to use the natural gas We can do that today our technologies ready-to-go in fact

51:08 because of the renewable fuel standard, we're not allowed to participate in the market in the United States. But we've gotten tremendous interest from other countries around the world and were already building a plant in China that will start up next year but you know we really want to see this technology be considered in the US because it is...it adds jobs thousands of jobs per facility when you do the construction. There you go! It's not a biofuel. You can't make it Yeah, but it won't... What he's talking about is participating in some government money scam. Thank you! This is what I'm talking about this is the legislation that will come down to alleviate... We're out of control Well duh But this is a money-making opportunity There's no reason we're throwing money around and make these bullcrap fuels And losing our assets in the process The taxpayers are in the hole The economy's in a tailspin and this sort of thing should be stopped immediately

52:06 Yeah, but that would make sense and that is not going to happen. And yeah natural gas is really cheap right now it's amazingly cheap It's so cheap that its almost depressed and you can do a lot with it You can make gasoline out of it, you can make methanol out of it, you can make ethanol out of it...you know it's a hydrocarbon with the same chains of carbons and hydrogens that goes right through a refinery you can crack it and punch it kick it and it comes out whatever you want it to be All I'm saying is that they need to have this, they need the tipping point to get the gas price up. And this will be the tipping point, the process and by the way, this is why I say Selenese or whatever that other company is we've got invest in them because it's going to go there's gonna skyrocket. It's gonna skyrocket once has been approved because they apparently have patented the process as a Dallas Company hello? Yeah, Dallas companies are all into oil somehow rather

53:09 And then of course we can run our cars entirely on natural gas, I mean obviously. But let me ask you another question... If natural gas is so cheap why is propane so expensive? That I do not know. Propane is outrageously expensive! If you want to get just a bottle of propane for... Yeah, I know. I think we brought this up before No actually it was Horowitz who brought it up on the DHM Plug Show He mentioned about the fact that those little cans that you put on your barbecue are tripled in price in the last few years It's like 27 bucks or 30 bucks just for refill There is no way there are 10 megabutes in that

53:54 Yeah, well it's probably a scam. There's probably some sort of a block scam involved here Anyway, I'm going to keep my eye on it because that's what is going to happen. They're going to say okay, to alleviate all these problems with food because we are all starving... That's what they are saying, the world is starving We're gonna change the rules so that natural gas guys can also be a part of government scam which is going up 15% ethanol in gasoline and you could make that from natural gas. We'll see this big bonanza, price for natural gas will go up Okay, so selling these corporations selling at $41.17 as we speak and it's been high as 50 recently Let's take a look at the maximum look at the board of directors for a second We see who's on the crashed big time in 2008 well That's when the gas prices crash already skyrocketed back. It's pretty high now I don't know if it's gonna go crazy. Let's see James Bartlett he used to be tell us this all VC Oh Galileo

54:56 He was a part of Galileo International. Wasn't that the scam guy? The Indian guy? I don't know about that, doesn't ring a bell. Let's see another director here... Life Technologies Corporation Global Finance McKinsey. Some pretty good directors they've got here 3m corporation well something's kind of up because the giveaway here is the For example the chief financial officer makes a million Chief operating officer he's 1.4 million the CEO yeah, I'm with 5,000 Yeah, and how many stock options does that's the point so obviously? He's betting on the camera Oh, yeah, oh, yeah, I'm only gonna take died like bill Steve Jobs has done this Bill Gates I don't even get back at pay $10 a year

55:47 You know what bull crap and look where I got him now six feet under well Josh nutgates That's right. So anyway Alright, well that's a good bet up with selling these down as a Sunday watch discuss that with Horowitz William Where's his scam idea by the way he was gonna had some idea for us as it was an app oh Oh no. App. Funny app, it's not like there is no money I mean if you make $100 a year on this app it would be a miracle. Go back inside don't worry all is well there will be no app. There isn't going to make an app? There is no money in apps! Please... He likes the idea so uh it will be discussed at a future date when

Pakistan Blasphemy Case Involving Girl with Down Syndrome

An 11-year-old girl with Down Syndrome was arrested in Pakistan on blasphemy charges after being accused of burning pages of a Koran study guide. The U.S. State Department called for a transparent investigation as the girl's family went into hiding to avoid mob violence. International observers noted that the girl's medical condition was initially omitted from many American media reports.

pakistan· blasphemy· koran· down syndrome· victoria nuland· human rights

56:45 As it goes further along. Anyway, so where are we? Well we're somewhere in the middle We're at the corn thing okay yeah all right I got a couple stories then All right Oh by the way i got a clip for you for your collection of evergreen sound effects oh let me see if i can find it no Evergreen guns ah yes we needed this one that's a horrible cutoff You can you can round it off yourself. You got an editor I'm not gonna sit there and fine-tune the other thing for ya Change you want me to change yeah, I can die can make its perfect a little bit I did produce is called clip

57:36 See it doesn't work. It doesn't work and worked for me Thanks, so now there's the story you know this story about that blast from me the little girls who apparently this was a horrible story But it's but it's interesting because they leave out some of the details in the American media There's a little 11 year old apparently has been arrested in Pakistan for blasphemy even though she didn't do anything I And what she was caught, her neighbor or the landlord from the shack. They live in a hellhole in Pakistan. That's the sound effect? Yeah that's not bad. Guns in the distance. Apparently saw her throwing out the garbage and there was not a Koran but a study guide to the Koran that had burnt pages so he immediately... Billy May could have had all these clips

58:33 He decides to turn her in to the authorities for blasphemy. Because she burned the pages? Well, no he assumed she did somebody did but she was throwing it out this study guide So what do they do they stone her? They were going to! The whole town was gonna come in and lynch her and stone her on the spot. But then the authorities took her to a high-security prison where now sits and the family's been removed for their own protection because that town is up in arms And this is of course story that's getting international attention and headlines because it demeans the Pakistanis which is part of a bigger picture. But the one little detail for some reason, because I guess you have to be careful you don't outrage the public too much see if he could spot the detail that has really been left out at the blasphemy story

59:23 in this clip. State Department spokesperson Victoria Nuland called on Pakistan to investigate the case in a transparent manner. We would call on the Pakistanis to have that investigation in a transparent way and we think that the president's statement is very, very welcome and we urge the government of Pakistan to protect not just its religious minority citizens but also women and girls, Nulan said. What? That's all I got That's terrible. That was my punchline there, the whole joke is missing! Okay here I'll tell you what it was... It's the same with a gun clip and you didn't end it right No this wasn't begun right Oh well anyway so that's balanced its balanced? Its balanced, sucks both ways good yeah all right tell me okay What was left out of The American Story some people have heard this story Is that little girl, 11 year old has Down Syndrome

Department of Justice Targeted Disabilities Hiring Policy

A Department of Justice memo outlines a policy to recruit individuals with "targeted disabilities," including total deafness, blindness, epilepsy, and severe intellectual disabilities. The policy stems from Executive Orders issued by Presidents Clinton and Obama aimed at making the federal government a model employer for people with disabilities. Critics question the inclusion of severe intellectual disabilities for roles within a legal bureaucracy.

1:00:22 You're kidding me! No. Well then they should stone her immediately just for that. She's down syndrome, she's 11 and they got there arrested for blasphemy what is wrong with these people? Well you know it's really good about that she could work for the Department of Justice okay you can take it from here yes there is a I'm gonna bring this up this is that memo from the Department of Justice And they have requested that, what is it called? Hiring of Persons with Targeted Disabilities Policy is the title of this document.

1:01:06 And it's pursuant to President Obama's Executive Order 13548 requiring that federal agencies become model employers of Americans with disabilities and achieve compliance with President Clinton's Executive Order 13163 which calls for an additional 100,000 persons with disabilities to be employed. Targeted disabilities defined. These are the people that they want to go after to work at the Department of Justice and I think it's actually spot on, I think this is exactly the people they should bring in People with... let's see, here is the list and the memos in the show notes of course. We always have the PDFs all marked up for you. People with total deafness in both ears with or without understandable speech? We should bring those in. People with blindness, the inability to read ordinary size print not correctable by glasses or no usable vision beyond light perception

1:01:59 People with epilepsy. Oops, sorry! People with severe intellectual disability I think that's actually for Attorney General that position and my favorite dwarfism and they actually said it is okay to go and recruit these people before we make this public Okay, I get that. Now, I've never had memo of the day. We don't have that award but you got the memo of the day on me there. I got a couple off-the-wall clips coming up but this was uh... That's the memo of the day Is that unbelievable or what?

1:02:43 So they want to hire people that can't read or write, essentially and are blind. Yeah And can't hear? Yeah Well... And are idiots! ...and are dwarves. They wanna put them in the Department of Justice of all places. I mean, I'm all for people with disabilities working in the workplace. Yeah, I don't have a problem with that either but this seems a little extreme what you're looking for maybe somebody in a wheelchair or there's all kinds of disabilities A guy with... People with... No, there are couple... Somebody who had their legs blown off in Afghanistan You know people like that should be hired There is more here Other current severe physical intellectual or mental conditions We just want people who are mental

1:03:24 I don't understand why you'd want people that are mentally disabled in a government bureaucracy. Well, maybe it's just because of birds of a feather? There are too many jokes here that we can use! Yeah, I think the severe intellectual disability is the best one. That's what the entire department is. This is your government at work. What I do like about it is that it discriminates against a lot of other people particularly that you know go out and recruit these people before we even make it public that we're looking for them. Yeah, isn't that like reverse discrimination? It's discrimination period! It's not reverse. All right okay so I got a few off-the-wall things that are interesting For one thing might as well get into it now but soon as I heard this clip I went okay

Lebanon Sectarian Violence and Syrian Spillover

Sectarian fighting in Tripoli, Lebanon, has left at least 10 people dead as violence from the Syrian civil war spills across the border. Clashes between minority Alawites and majority Sunnis have prompted the United Nations to appeal for international support to prevent further deterioration. Local gunmen have begun patrolling neighborhoods, claiming the state can no longer provide protection.

1:04:21 It looks like Wesley Clark was right, Lebanon is underway. It's begun! As predicted yes. ...by government forces but it's the spillover of violence into Lebanon which has the UN appealing for international support to stop the situation from deteriorating At least 10 people have been killed and dozens injured in the northern city of Tripoli in the last few days. Our correspondent Barbara Plett is there, and has filed this report on the fears that old rivalries may be reignited. Two days of intense fighting in Tripoli pitted minority Alawites against majority Sunnis. They live next to each other in densely populated neighborhoods

1:05:06 Tripoli has seen these flare-ups before. The grievances go back decades. Gunmen patrol the streets claiming to act in defense of their communities. I am defending my own area, I am just defending my neighborhood no one should come and threaten us we are not going to wait for anyone to protect us We have to protect ourselves Yeah, so you cheap bastard. That's where you got this gun sound effect from no wonder You couldn't round it off nicely she talks over it Hey! Not to sit there and criticize your co-host

1:05:43 I just gave it to you. I thought, I gave it as a gift! I thought that'd be something you would appreciate if put in your arsenal of gun sounds But no! No, you throw it back... Oh, you took it from them? Well, I see why you couldn't fix it It was like a cigar band not a diamond ring. It wasn't real gift It was a, it went through all the trouble of cutting it out of that clip. You spent 30 seconds going ah I might as well just rip this off here oh well if it ends kind of funky...I mean do I have to play that again how stupid your guns are? Go on with your thing about Lebanon Well this may be part of the reason why we're ramping up so we've sent another carrier out

USS John C. Stennis Deployment and Leon Panetta Speech

Defense Secretary Leon Panetta addressed sailors aboard the USS John C. Stennis, which is deploying to the Middle East four months ahead of schedule. Panetta cited threats from Iran and Syria as the primary reason for the accelerated deployment, despite a broader drawdown in the region. The move brings a second aircraft carrier strike group into the area to maintain a U.S. military presence.

1:06:25 to I believe a carrier from Washington State over to the Middle East four months before the planned deployment. Now, these guys and gals on the ships at sea have been on the ships at sea forever they come home like finally have a beer you know it's like a little bit of get some whoopie and now they're back on it in Panetta This is the best propaganda piece I have for today's show. Panetta goes out and really riles them up, and listen to the commentary and the propaganda in this. Top story this noon a visit from Defense Secretary Leon Panetta He spoke to sailors on board USS John C Stennis this morning King Fist Jake Wittenberg was there he is live now in Bremerton And Jake the carrier's deployment was bumped up by four months huh? Huh

1:07:12 It definitely was. That was a hardship for a lot of families and one big reason that Secretary Panetta is here today to thank this crew and really give them a pep talk before deployment, you know we saw typical Leon Panetta today he's very laughable he was very smiley who has talking with some of the... He said he was laughable! This guy really screws up the report Of course what he means is Panetta was in great spirits sending his children of America off to war. He laughable! Yeah, I'm in great spirits go kids go! The sailors here on board but he was very serious with his message the USS John C Stennis strike group is needed in the Middle East

1:07:54 As we start a drawdown process the fact is, I love that as we start... Wait wait wait you're kidding me. Yeah no this is.. As we started draw down process were gonna send more troops and more ships and were going to load up the place. Yeah exactly! Wow! The fact is still confront some heavy threats in the world. And your are ones that are gonna face those threats And then they cut in this applause. Panetta addressed more than two... We know, we know from our producers in the services They hate going to these! They don't want to look at this douchebag They hate the guy! They do not like him AT ALL He's not an army guy he's a spook

1:08:37 They hate him and they cut in some applause. 2,000 sailors at an all-hands call to thank them for their efforts a lot of folks are very excited to see him A lot of folks very excited to see him you see these poor sailors going like what am I doing here? What is this guy gonna make us do now? Stennis will join another carrier already in the Middle East and Panetta says the strike group will face threats coming from places like Iran and Syria He says we've reached a turning point in the war and the enemy is severely weakened. But it's been challenging. Are we at war in the Middle East now all of sudden? We've reached a turning point in the war? Are we at war with Syria, are we at war with Iran is that what he said? I don't know what's he saying. What is he saying where did you get this from Seattle News here listen... ...aboard the Stennis they have operated 70% of the time for the past two years and are now facing these back-to-back deployments but the secretary says this is the time to show the world the US is not slowing down. We're gonna kick your ass bitches! I understand that it's tough

1:09:38 We're asking an awful lot of each of you, but frankly You are the best I have and when the world calls we have to respond What world is calling hello world World do that when the world calls what world is calling exactly Hello Leon, it's the world calling. Hey man we need the best you got Can you send them over because the war is at a turning point come on man send them over? Let me just make this So let's go let me jump to another clip that's kind of related which I think is it's a funny clip Today

CHAPTER 15 / 37 Discussion

RT America Propaganda and the American Empire Discussion

RT America, the Russian-funded news network, featured a discussion on the "American Empire" and the presence of 1,000 U.S. military bases worldwide. The segment included references to Ron Paul and libertarian opposition to foreign intervention. Analysts describe the coverage as a blunt propaganda effort by the Russian government to influence Western public opinion.

rt america· russia· propaganda· ron paul· military bases· empire

1:10:33 has turned into an out-and-out propaganda tool for the Russian government. Yes It's gone out of control, and so they're doing everything they can although they don't have market penetration Enough so to have in nobody's listening to that these shows at all Especially not they're like highly amusing because it's like this is the best you can do yeah They could do a lot better than this. This is the propaganda piece It's called where they start to discuss the American Empire and how the Americans are so stupid by the way, and you don't really Get people on your side in a propagandistic effort when you insult them tribuner to anti-war

1:11:12 Sorry? Yeah. All right, gentlemen cross talk rules in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want John if I go to you first and Boston how would you assess the state of American Empire because we have a Democrat in power doesn't look that much different when a Republican was in power so what is the state of the American Empire in your mind Well, it's nice to be on and to join this discussion. I think the very way you put it American empire is something that we don't often hear in the United States for many people but the idea that we have a military Empire despite our 1,000 bases around the world Is a new idea or one that they might not have considered at all

1:11:56 But I think... Well, you know John if I can ask you why is that the case do you think? With hundreds and hundreds of bases around the world a global presence of military that is not even comparable to any other country in the history of the world. And Americans don't know about it?! Well, I think in a certain way that they don't. If you ask people how much we spend on our military and our military reach if you asked people how many bases we have around the world most don't know most are surprised but i think that is changing and

1:12:36 It's changing across the board. As a matter of fact, although he won't win the Republican nomination for president I think that the appearance of Ron Paul and The libertarian sentiment which is against these foreign interventions on principle So here we go so they did one guy the Russian guy was in today got hundreds and hundreds and hundreds And then they bring in Ron Paul at the end because that that constitutes are you kidding me? This is a classic lame attempt to turn around the overall, yeah we are an empire let's face reality. It's not news to anybody it might be news to some guy who doesn't listen to no agenda or it might be news that somebody doesn't care one way or the other because its not affecting them

CHAPTER 16 / 37 Discussion

Pussy Riot Analysis and Alleged KGB Influence

A discussion regarding Pussy Riot includes claims of contact with a Russian agent providing analysis of the band's activities. The band's 2012 cathedral performance is framed as a potential Western intelligence operation designed to provoke Vladimir Putin. The hosts examine the aesthetic and methodology of Russian propaganda, suggesting it remains out of touch with modern Western media.

pussy riot· kgb· vladimir putin· russia· propaganda· espionage

1:13:25 But is this the best they can do? This is not subtle. It's not entertaining it's almost, uh...it's insulting in a lot of ways at a lot of different levels I mean these guys really are out to lunch You know what's interesting because where RT is failing Russia is actually doing quite a good job. I was contacted by a bona fide KGB agent John Oh cool. Yes, her name is Sarah and she contacted me... Is she a babe? Well she sent me pictures and holy smokes in fact yeah that's the Russians are good at this let me uh I'm gonna... That's a plus! Well yeah so-so she said so she's and she's got red hair i mean it's so here's how i know she's KGB So she sends me this whole analysis on Pussy Riot

1:14:18 And yeah, and we go to that in a minute. Yeah well I this is exactly where I'm taking us and In fact let me I'm gonna send you these pictures of her so you can see that That'll probably screw up your sky. Oh yeah, it's email. Yeah Skype Email email hold on let me just see if this yeah This is the one this is the one hold on forget about all the text because it you know We went back and forth a couple times But she sent these pictures And then when she sent the pictures I said, hey you know with all your great analysis of Putin and Russia combined with these smoking hot pictures you're KGB. Doesn't take a genius! End of conversation That was it? She's done?!

1:15:04 You outed her as a cagey person and then she stopped? She didn't deny it? No! What are you crazy?! I wish i wasn't cagey. There's a million ways to handle that. Look at your email. This is like when you find the guys out in front of the house, spying on ya. With sunglasses on. Hey, you tailing me!? And they just walk away Look at your email. I want you to see the picture look there it comes Hillary and heels like yeah, that's the one yeah look at the man isn't okay Let me look at when a look at one now wait She does look like she does have a Russian come on KGB right total KGB Yeah But it is again and I say out I'll disagree with you on this these photos are

1:15:58 are so I don't know 60s 70s no there were recent if you read the email just saying the style yeah that's what hello it's Russia Yeah, the Russians are... and this is the same thing with RT. These guys are completely out of touch with modern propagandistic methodology They make it too easy for us to see through it so anyway Exactly! We spotted a mile away It's KGB right? You look at that you go KGB I would say there's no rather thing going on here Alright So and I showed it to Miss Mickey I said look this is our listener She went hmmm Nice legs So I have found Pussy Riot's beard

CHAPTER 17 / 37 Discussion

Pussy Riot Sentencing and Pyotr Verzilov Interview

Pyotr Verzilov, husband of Pussy Riot member Nadiya Tolokonnikova, discussed the two-year prison sentence handed to the band for "hooliganism" in a Moscow cathedral. While Western media condemned the sentence as a crackdown on free speech, some analysts point to Verzilov's history as a potential provocateur. The case has become a major international meme, supported by various human rights organizations and the U.S. State Department.

pussy riot· pyotr verzilov· moscow· hooliganism· vladimir putin· state department

1:16:38 Pussy Riot has a beard, John. And I'm going to use some of our KGB agents' analysis and some of my own This is Aaron Burnett as we say in Texas interviewing Pyotr Verzilov who is the Russian-Canadian husband of Nadiya Tolokonnikova And I want you to listen to what he says and then i'm going to break it down some analysis. But first, It's always a wonderful time on the show when we hear the word pussy coming out of Aaron Burnett's mouth. Did you hear how she said it this time? Pussy riot! No she said pussy riot

1:17:25 She literally wants to get I was caught off guard by the hysterics. No, but listen to pussy riot Pussy right? I just love when she's a pussy ride and now our fourth story out front Russia tonight warning Western countries against quote-unquote Hysterics over the pussy riots and see right this is Russian police are on the look hard Pussy riot come on man it's funny Keep going.

1:18:06 And it's very cut and dry, and you can actually get seven years for being a hooligan. And part of being a hooligan is going in and doing this kind of stuff in the church. They've become very religious over the years I have this on first-hand authority not from my KGB friend Sarah but I had this on good authority So, they did perform an act of hooliganism. That's the end of it Of course they were sent there by the State Department and they only got two years Anti-Putin performance in a Moscow Cathedral They have been sentenced to jail for 2 years Drawing worldwide condemnation And criticism of Vladimir Putin's strong arm tactics Nadiya Tolokonnikova The most outspoken member of the band Reportedly yelled We are happy because we brought the revolution closer

1:18:57 as she was led away by police officers to serve her sentence. She won't see her husband or her four-year old daughter and out front tonight, her husband Fyodor. Well tell me a bit about what... you're here tonight talking to us You're in Moscow so is it I'm trying to think about how we should understand this Your wife has been put in jail for two years Now before we continue on you have to understand that Pussy Riot has been doing this since 2007 At that time they were known as the band Voina And the band actually split up and Voina went their own way, and Pussy Riot went their way. Why? Because the remaining members of Voina said that this guy, The Beard, Verislov was a police informer and provocateur!

1:19:47 And you can actually find this right I think this is even in the book of knowledge. So, this guy was already a shield to start with remember he's Russian Canadian and he has been in doing this for quite awhile finally he strikes some gold and I think if you keep on pushing and poking and pushing and poking, nailed all of us, you know finally and two years out of a possible seven is actually not all that bad. First seeing a protest song against Vladimir Putin You though are here speaking out against him and free in Moscow Is that something that is hopeful? That contradicts what your wife is going through? Yes let me say this does contradict

1:20:26 Because if Putin was really upset about this, if he really had anything to do with this He would have killed them! He kills journalists. They send guys over with plutonium that go kill people in England They don't mess around with two years in jail This is a joke! You make sense of those two things Well, you know the Russian government obviously loves to oppress harass and basically imprison anyone who makes a very bright and critical and loud statement of Putin's and the government activities. But there is a limit that this governments can and cannot do right now And basically this amazing international outcry, which we've seen over the past several months directed at the Pussy Riot case happened because the whole world didn't expect Putin to cross his line and start arresting people for singing protest songs inside a church. And Pyotr I know there's an appeal or how hopeful are you that that appeal might go the other way? That Nadia might be free is there any hope?

1:21:25 We think that Putin has said his word, he's voiced the growth sentence and it is very unlikely that this will change in any way. So this, and of course we've already discovered this and already discussed it that this is a scam. But this really is not all that much what it is is a brilliant campaign from Clippity-Clop in the State Department just brilliant because what better way to get the tweeters and the Facebookers all riled up to be able to say free pussy riot! Free change my icon to a pussy riot

CHAPTER 18 / 37 Discussion

Pussy Riot Lyrics, Gay Activism, and Lesbian Bed Death

The lyrics of Pussy Riot's "Punk Prayer" are analyzed as a feminist and gay rights manifesto rather than a purely anti-Putin song. The discussion digresses into a psychological concept known as "lesbian bed death" and the alleged use of testosterone gels like Androgel within the community. This tangent explores the intersection of medical trends and political activism within the band's support base.

pussy riot· lgbt· testosterone· androgel· lesbian bed death· punk prayer

1:22:03 Well, the one thing that's left out of all these reports seems to be the gay angle. Which you kind of picked up on. Yeah about them being lesbians? Yeah and one other things has left us is the gay angle there are couple things I think we should at least bring our listening public up to speed on And this was kind of brought up when they brought in this woman, a gay activist. The Pussy Riot band is a gay activist band that's what it is. Without an album I might point out there. Listen to the Our Democracy Now story about Pussy Riot and here are the lyrics to the song they were singing and this is a gay activists song as well really its about not Putin. Then red hot chili peppers expressing support

1:22:42 On Friday, just after the guilty verdict was announced Democracy Now spoke with feminist punk musician J.D. Samson of the two bands La Tigra and Men We asked her to read some of the lyrics Pussy Riot performed during their punk prayer inside the church Punk prayer The song was called Punk Prayer Virgin Mary put Putin away Virgin Mary, Mother of God put Putin away. Put Putin away. Put Putin away." Black robe golden epaulets all parishioners crawl to bow the phantom of liberty is in heaven gay pride sent to Siberia in chains the head of the KGB their chief saint leads protesters to prison under escort in order not to offend his holiness women must give birth and love

1:23:31 Virgin Mary, Mother of God become a feminist. Become a feminist. Become a feminist. Now this woman that came on... Free Pussy Riot! Free Pussy Riot! This woman that came on is not only a gay lesbian but she is She has this new, there's a thing that a lot of them do. They take a lot of androgel and then they grow mustaches she had a full mustache Wait a minute wait a minute what did you take for that? You take androgel because there is a phenomenon in the gay community it's in Wikipedia called lesbian bed death

1:24:10 Oh my god, John. What have you been doing with your time? Lesbian bed death... I got a lecture about this. Lesbian bed death seems to happen to gay female couples after they're two or three months in bed together and they lose all interest in sex completely really quickly. And it's called lesbian bed death and to fight it one of the two couples takes testosterone which has also been in the news baseball players and when you take testosterone you grow a mustache. And normally women always have a little bit of testosterone but if you take androgel, which is a pump that you put on your out... You just pump it on yourself and you rub it in there goes through your skin when you take that by with any large amount dosage you grow the mustache and you become very aggressive sexually. Well now first

1:24:59 that after this program I'm going to call my lesbians and i am going to get a full first-hand download on the lesbian bed death. I have never heard of this, I've seen it in the book of knowledge And according to the study that Schwartz and Blumstein did, they concluded that lesbian couples in committed relationships have less sex than any other type of couple heterosexual married heterosexual cohabitating or gay male and generally experience less sexual intimacy. The longer the relationship lasts after the question quote about how often during the last year if you and your partner had sex relations

1:25:37 Very interesting. So then they take the androgel Wow, this is Is that covered by health care? Is that part of the female healthcare decisions might well be The connection at the beginning of the show the female health the women's healthcare Decisions we can't make those I don't mean I can't even grow a mustache if I try My goodness. It's a mandarin. So that rekindles... I'm sorry, there is a lot of this not being covered and people are easily distracted by the free pussy riot meme as you are but there is more to it. I am not distracted! I have completely deconstructed it. I just love Aaron Burnett saying pussy thats all. Yeah well its definitely entertaining

1:26:24 But anyway, so there's something going on here and then you're right Putin's got nothing to do with this. Nothing at all He would kill them in a second This guy doesn't care about them but so is then So you take the androgel? You grow a mustache should become very aggressive sexually and that rekindles the lovemaking as long as one of the two partners is old cranked up on interest rate Wow. Juice stuff, this is the juice man! This stuff is the future. So what if I take it? Will I become really... It would be great for you What do you mean?! What's wrong with me!? There's nothing wrong with me! Shout out to taker Andrew Jell-Slave Wow how should this medicine be used

1:27:10 It comes as a gel to apply to the skin. Oh, so you apply it right here upper lip and that's... No, don't put it on your upper lip! Well says it right here. No, it doesn't say that. Androgel comes as a gel applied to the skin Yeah not the upper lip Where do you apply? Specific parts of the body that absorb through this in the chemical you need You can apply androgel anywhere on your shoulders, upper arms or abdomen between your chest and waist Be careful not to get testosterone gel in your eyes. Thanks for the advice! I just grew hair in my eyes!!! If you do get testosterone gel in your eyes, wash them right away with warm clean water. Call a doctor if your eyes become irritated or if you grow hair Wow... Well this is fascinating stuff

1:28:00 I'm gonna put this in the show notes. Lesbian bed death. Wow! Lesbian bed death? I'm putting that right under the... Pussy Putin thing and Androgel This is uh, wow John you've trumped me This is very good stuff But I am going to talk to my lesbians because they'll know about this for sure Oh yeah they'll say oh yeah, what's your problem? Haven't ya seen me shaving bitch?! Shut up! Kick your ass! Wow Never heard of that before So, onward. Thank you for that! Once in a while I come up with something. That's very good. But as we've discussed on the show before, I listen to a lot of foreign broadcasts and now I have kind of a clue. Indians do not donate to the show? No they are not. By the way before we go any further I would like to say that I really liked

CHAPTER 19 / 37 Discussion

India Cyber Terrorism and Assam Ethnic Violence

The Indian government is investigating a "cyber terrorism" campaign where morphed photos of violence in Myanmar were circulated via SMS to trigger panic in Assam. Over 60 million text messages were sent in a single day, leading to a mass exodus of people from Bangalore and other cities. Authorities have traced the messages to radical outfits in South India and Bangladesh, describing it as a coordinated cyber war.

1:28:57 Sir Kent's wife and his father-in-law Jacob he made it was very generous, made fantastic martinis for us. And what we're about to discuss has no bearing on them. Are they Indian? Duh! Oh well he knows what I'm talking about. They were all doctors by the way just a completely meme. Yes, the most doctors or they were engineers or their They're actually there. Their culture allows them to be incredible microprocessor designers well sir basically taken over the business Sir Kent does internal medicine his wife is a I think she might be a gynecologist They had Indian snacks for us yeah it was very nice which was like

1:29:50 It was like, what was that? You know those roasted peanuts and then they had something else. Like roasted rosemary or something. Little sticks! It was outstanding so good So there's a couple of clips I want to get out the way before we get into the second half of this show One is...I don't wanna set this up This is a clip about...there's bunch of rioting going on in Assam Part of India and it's a dis you look into it. There's all kinds of different reasons for it I haven't really gotten to the bottom of it, but it turns out that I don't know who is responsible Who's really behind it whether its clippity-clop or whoever but it's the techno experts

1:30:30 that have created this problem and if you listen to this report, you see this thing running at full tilt. The entire methodology that we've talked about on the show for years is now appearing as in India different parts of the world as a troublemaking scheme and the joke of it...the real joke of it is these idiots in India think that this is a new thing thats only happened to them and has never happened anyplace else in the world play this clip. If only knew which one Techno experts in India. The crisis in northeastern India state of Assam has now turned into one of cyber terrorism. The violence and fear mongering was sparked by morphed photographs misrepresenting victims of earthquakes and ethnic clashes in Thailand and Myanmar as incidents that happened in India the Department of Telecom has identified about 250 websites and blogs that had allegedly posted the gory pictures

1:31:46 They were passed off as a result of ethnic riots in Assam, in North East India and then transmitted via text messages to millions of Indians in different parts of the country triggering the panic. More than 60 million text messages were allegedly sent out on August 13th alone The government has traced the deeds to two radical outfits, the Popular Front of India based in South India and Bangladesh-based Harkat ul Jihad al Islami or Hujji. The SMSs were bounced through several countries to avoid detection. That the Bangalore rumor event is not an isolated event it is part of a broader design of cyber war which is targeted at India clearly for the first time in history of internet

1:32:31 This kind of misuse of mobile technologies and the cyber-technologies has happened which is aimed to destabilize a particular portion of the people. It may or may not be related, but the State Department just announced on Tuesday Turkmenistan will be providing India with natural gas through the TAPI pipeline So I don't know if it's related, but you know maybe someone in the Indian government is Is a huge scandal going on? I think the other thing which the other story about India may be more Related which helped get to in a minute But I want to get back to this okay so they This is the same scam that went on in Syria. If you remember when this things first got fake photos from Iraq yep

1:33:24 being distributed as photos in Syria. Homs was the go- Oh look at all these dead bodies! And it was like somebody dug up to the fact that this is bullcrap So now they're pulling this stunt and I'm still stunned by this guy saying, first time in history of the internet Bull crap But anyway if they want to believe that's that These guys went through a lot of trouble Mean they went through proxies and everything else to not get seen too bad. They did find out who they were Maybe that could also be bullcrap I just found this whole thing to be fascinating, and this is going on in India right now There's a bunch of of cyber war, what they call cyber war and I think that's a pretty good definition of it. You send out 60 million text messages linked into these photos? That only reaches like a village in India Well but it's a lot...but you know they pass it on Look at my phone! Oh look at this picture they're killing us So um

CHAPTER 20 / 37 Discussion

India Coal Auction Scandal and Prime Minister Singh

Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh is facing calls for resignation following a massive corruption scandal involving the allocation of coal blocks. The "Coalgate" scandal is estimated to be larger than the previous 2G spectrum scam, which cost the treasury billions of dollars. Opposition parties have paralyzed Parliament, demanding accountability for the presumptive losses in the coal auction process.

manmohan singh· india· coalgate· 2g scam· corruption· parliament

1:34:15 Well, they get what they deserve. They don't listen to the show that it'll donate then you get indoctrinated stupid slaves You got to participate in a time There's a huge scandal in India that may be related to the Turkmenistan thing the Prime Minister Singh who we you know nobody talks about this but is the guy at his a seek I believe because he wears the turban and ties in nicely under he is under extreme attack for for sexual corruption that's going on and they just report which starts with the what somebody bitching about it is actually longer than I cut away down the Bishop I'm then they talk about the famous

1:34:53 2G scandal that took place in India, which we don't know anything about. Which is a phone licensing scam that netted a group of people $30 billion dollars and this is the biggest... This country is out of control Nobody in the United States is reporting on any of it. This Prime Minister is toast if this continues. See to the house is adjourned because we demanded that the prime minister should resign. This is very imminent. This is the demand of the nation because people are shocked to see one after another scams in which this UPA regime is looting the country.

1:35:32 Prime Minister Singh's Congress Party said it was ready for a discussion on the issue in Parliament and also hit back, saying that the BJP should look at its own role in the allocation of coal blocks when they led a coalition government. The presumptive loss of the coal auction scam is a tad higher than that of what was considered as India's biggest swindle – the 2G scam. So all this kind of thing is going on and none of it is... we have no clue about any of this Well, we can't understand them. That's part of the problem. I can translate! It's very hard to understand. It's terrible! I watch this show and I'm going oh, I'm gonna get a clip...I don't know if people are gonna be able to understand these guys

1:36:14 Anyway, the Prime Minister they're calling for his resignation. Okay? So it's possible I think it might be related this guy has an energy play so that's possible Yeah exactly so this guy is obviously taking money from somewhere and the whole idea of the TAPI pipeline Turkmenistan Afghanistan Pakistan India That's why we've had you know 4,000 boys and girls killed millions of Iraqis all you know This whole Afghanistan mess is just with a stupid pipeline He's, you know now the pipelines there he's like I don't want your stinking pipeline and then they got to get rid of him. So how do you get rid of them? You bring in the techno experts well somethings up well but I think we should not follow-up on this

CHAPTER 21 / 37 Discussion

Gwen Ifill PBS Report on Todd Akin and Claire McCaskill

A PBS NewsHour report by Gwen Ifill regarding Todd Akin's "legitimate rape" comments is criticized for failing to mention that Senator Claire McCaskill is Akin's direct political opponent. Critics argue that McCaskill's encouragement of Akin's candidacy was a strategic move that the report ignored. The segment is cited as an example of subtle media bias in taxpayer-funded broadcasting.

1:37:02 they don't care before I start naming our people for today so i want to play a clip Which is Gwen Ifill, again who I this is PBS. This is where people send lots of money to they have lots of sponsors They got underwriters and all this. I just want to play what I consider a corrupt report

1:37:42 by Gwen Ifill when she discusses that idiot that we talked about earlier in the show Aiken and his rape legitimate illegitimate rape thing. And because there's a point of information here that is purposely left out, and you have to remember that Gwen is the one... She seems like a very sweet woman by the way and good reporter but she's the one who wrote the hate geography. But she's not! That's the problem. She wrote the hagiography of Obama and she's a huge Obama supporter, and this is the kind of report we get from her. Impregnated by rape apologized but said he would not be forced from the campaign The resulting uproar has pleased Democrats and enraged Republicans including other lawmakers and fundraisers Incumbent Missouri Senator Claire McCaskill, a Democrat

1:38:32 has said Republicans should accept Aiken's apology. I think what is startling to me is that these party bigwigs are coming down on him and saying that he needs to kick sand in the face of the Republican primary voters But party leaders including Missouri Senator Roy Blunt, and former Senators Kit Bond John Ashcroft, John Danforth and Jim Talent all called for Aiken to step aside So what are they missing? Hey, how about mentioning that the Claire McCaskill clip that went on and on and on about how they should forgive this guy let him do his own thing. She's the guy running against him! Minor detail

1:39:16 A minor detail, she's the one who said yeah let's run this idiot. Hey why don't you guys leave him alone? I'd like to see...I'd like to be running against him That's never mentioned and she's an objective observer making this kind of bullcrap This is the most slanted thing i've seen on this news hour for a long time And it was so subtle It was really disgusting And how much money do they get from government and how much money do people give them Millions Yeah millions Alright, let's look at our donors for today. Okay so anyway after that little clip sorry I got worked up Raymond Williams Lafayette Louisiana $100 no comment from him that I see Larry Lee sir Larry Lee to you and granted Shoals I guess Texas granted something This is your share of the three thousand dollars I won on the Texas lottery scratch off game

CHAPTER 22 / 37 Discussion

Listener Donations, Lottery Wins, and Gourmet Salt

Listener Larry Lee donated a portion of a $3,000 Texas lottery win to the show, attributing his luck to his status as a "No Agenda Knight." The segment transitions into a discussion on gourmet salts, recommending French "fumé de sel" and "fleur de sel" over standard table salt. Various other producers are thanked for their contributions, including Bob Holmes and the Star family.

One listener reported that their cousin, an Air Force linguist, was using the show's "pipeline" episodes to practice Korean translation. The hosts provide various custom ringtones and "karma" shout-outs for listeners propagating the show's themes in their workplaces and social circles.

Mars Curiosity Rover Laser and Israeli News

The Mars Curiosity Rover reportedly used a laser to destroy a rock for chemical analysis, a claim met with skepticism regarding the quality of transmitted images. In other news, an Israeli listener apologized for a previous Twitter dispute regarding the Holocaust and requested "no-bombing" karma for Iran. The discussion touches on the tension between scientific reporting and geopolitical realities in the Middle East.

Swine Flu at State Fairs and Whooping Cough Vaccine

The CDC reported over 200 cases of a new swine flu strain linked to livestock competitions at state fairs. Simultaneously, health officials are concerned about "waning immunity" from the DTaP whooping cough vaccine, as thousands of vaccinated teenagers are falling ill. Critics suggest the shift from older, effective vaccines to newer versions is driven by corporate profit rather than public health efficacy.

swine flu· cdc· whooping cough· dtap· vaccine· waning immunity

2:06:09 I don't know, four or five months left of rings. Check out a couple things that we definitely need to discuss in the Agenda 21 realm. Yeah well it's that and it's a little bit of vaccine news at the same time this one came in... Yeah, be afraid. Be very very afraid we're all gonna die! A new kind of swine flu... That's that's all you need to know a new kind of swine flu there it is ladies and gentlemen We'll be here on Sunday a new kind of swine flu has been reported at state fairs that featured livestock competitions Health officials say about 225 people across the country contracted the swine flu virus since July and to stay safe they say wash your hands before you enter the exhibition areas and again

2:06:51 After you leave why? Why before because all employees must wash their hands All slaves washed our hands. I don't know it's just wash your hands hey, I think I've got the The... Can I? Are you going to go on a vaccine thing, because I do have a vaccine. Yeah roll out of it. This one really bothers me because I didn't know a lot of the details and whooping cough things out of control. Oh yeah it's at Walmart now. It's at Walgreens everywhere. There are a couple items or points of interest in this whooping cough report that got my attention and I said oh please!

2:07:35 Washington state has one of the highest number of cases in the nation along with Wisconsin, Minnesota and New York. I've heard this cough clip before they're using old materials The disease is known for the dramatic hooping noise its victims make as they try to catch their breath after coughing spells it can often lead to cracked ribs pneumonia even death A vaccine was developed more than 50 years ago, but it caused so many bad side effects that a new one was introduced in the 1990's. It is called DTAP. But recently the CDC discovered a troubling trend. Teenagers who had been inoculated against whooping cough were getting sick and all there have been 9000 adolescent cases this year. It turns out that

2:08:28 The short-term protection with DTaP is very good. Within two years of getting vaccinated, the protection is about 95%. But by five years after completing the five dose childhood series... Booster! ...protection drops off and it's only about 70% We call that waning immunity or a drop off in protection. And what's the solution? Booster. So here's the story the way I see it a whooping cough vaccine which seemed to work fine. 50 years old, of course now it's public domain and there was no coughing. Oh yeah we need a new one! Works fine for 50 years and there were no cases of whooping cough nobody brought it up nobody even talked about whooping cough until like the last five or six years but this cheap ol' vaccine that had problems that I don't know what they were I never heard of them to have problems Now let's get rid of that we have a new one called D-Tap that such as one shot its four shots

2:09:30 It's four shots that don't work. It's like, what? Wind it up man wind it up! So they got nothing but now people are getting whooping cough from the shots there is no protection out there you've got... What is the point of dropping something that works for something that doesn't work unless there's some filthy lucre involved this is nothing more than more government corruption John C. Devorak's Pet Peeve Of The Day Beautiful. Totally corrupt! It's corrupt! So I've figured out the West Nile virus thing Oh yeah, there we go There is a vaccine coming out for that any minute No no it's better than that Better than that oh yeah There is a war going on So right now... Is it against chicken? No think smaller Okay

West Nile Virus Outbreak and Malaria No More Charity

The White House and CDC are highlighting a West Nile virus outbreak, primarily in Texas, which has resulted in 42 deaths. This public health focus coincides with "World Mosquito Day" and the "Malarious" campaign by the charity Malaria No More, which is backed by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. The discussion questions the effectiveness of these campaigns compared to the historical use of DDT.

But what's the point of this without getting it? They call it The Press Gaggle That's weird Yeah They always call It The Press Gaggle I never noticed Well because you don't read them, I read all this stuff So right off the top, Mr. Earnest says I do have a couple quick announcements before we get started that I wanted to make you aware of in recent days and so this is always they have something at the top this is like the big propaganda push pay attention News Corp this gaggle has a message

2:11:47 In recent days an increased number of cases of West Nile virus has been reported primarily in Texas and the communities across the southern United States. The president has been briefed on the increase in the number of West Nile virus cases White House staff are in regular contact with the experts at the CDC, and the president will continue to receive updates as necessary." So be afraid! Be very very very afraid Meanwhile Everybody we talked to here is laughing about this You know we have You know are you familiar with Terminix? The bug company.

CHAPTER 29 / 37 Discussion

Marine Veteran Brandon Raub Detained for Facebook Posts

Marine veteran Brandon Raub was detained by authorities in Virginia for psychiatric evaluation based on "anti-government" posts on his Facebook page. The detention was executed under a Virginia law allowing emergency custody for individuals deemed a danger to themselves or others due to mental illness. Civil rights advocates are concerned this sets a precedent for targeting veterans who express dissenting political views online.

brandon raub· virginia· facebook· marine corps· mental health· secret service

2:19:21 I don't see anything else in that office building except a couple of things upstairs. Anyway, okay... So the one thing that we haven't really talked about and I didn't want to mention it when the news first came out because I was on the road and didn't have enough time to vet everything and vet is an appropriate word in this case but we had this Marine veteran who was picked up Because of his Facebook postings have you been following this story? I love this story Yeah, this is a bullcrap story. Yeah it is a bullcrap story, but let me just give you the background so this Brandon J. Rob was posting

2:20:12 Kind of stuff that we talk about on the show, certainly stuff I talk about on the show all over his Facebook. You know stuff like 9-11 was an inside job. He says look does this airplane... Yeah he's a truther! And not just a truther but also saying hey you know the government is out to kill us and A lot of stuff that you see in many, many places. Here the people responsible for poisoning the American people from the sky will be held accountable. That's... Chemtrails! You know he has pictures of chemtrails I mean they could be me is basically sounds like you actually sure this wasn't some sort of a fake thing you did but anyway so it was me in uniform and here it is uh I've got two clips here actually

2:21:05 Here we go. So he is picked up under a law in Virginia, which does not exist in Texas but does exist in a few other states I read to you from the Code of Virginia 37.2-808 Emergency Custody, Issuance and Executive Execution of Order Emergency custody and voluntary and involuntary civil admissions And this is very interesting because if this was a federal law I'd be in trouble Any magistrate may issue upon the sworn petition of any responsible person whatever that means

2:21:49 That could be you, John. You could be a responsible person." I am a responsible person! "...or upon his own motion an emergency order... custody order when he has probable cause to believe that any person within his judicial district 1 has mental illness..." Well duh there ya go I'm done! ...presents an imminent danger to himself or others as a result of mental illness, or is seriously mentally ill...as to be substantially unable to care for himself and is in need of hospitalization or treatment. And if he's unwilling to volunteer or incapable of volunteering for hospitalization under treatment

2:22:36 Any person from a emergency custody order is issued shall be taken into custody and transported to convenient location to be evaluated, To assess the need for hospitalization or treatment. Evaluation shall be made by a person designated by the Community Services Board Or Behavioral Health Authority." So this is of course very troubling And I agree with you it is a bull crap story It has been set up to put everybody on notice to say, oh it's the ex-vets. They're all crazy they're all mentally ill there though they are the problem they are the ones that you've got a look out for and we had another one pop up just yesterday A threat against the president A raid on a quiet complex Tonight the former military man and stash of weapons at the center of a Secret Service investigation

2:23:33 He apparently had an individual who was armed. He had weapons, multiple weapons and ammunition and made allusions to perhaps things that go boom or explosives. Things that go boom! I have things... He said that? Yeah, I have things that go boom but they haven't released the actual letter so So we don't know. We don't know anything? No, but this is another fake bogus report. The federal complaint filed today outlines Calori's alleged threat which was emailed to the FBI. Calori allegedly uses his own name and address says he will kill the president and he better get an audience tells agents to come get him he won't fight

2:24:08 and adds that they have seven days. What kind of guy does this? What kind of a note is that?! It's like, I'm gonna kill the president! I've got things to go boom come and get me i won't fight you got seven days I mean, they're laying it on really thick here. And then his mom shows up and has a whole different last name and is not even sure that's her mom. So these things are set ups and a lot of people are very upset about this saying it's the first one to go! It has started! Well yes and no So essentially you're being put on notice that you better shut up slave because you can get picked up and you need to be afraid of veterans. Veterans, of course are the ones who will probably be around to protect us if the shit really does hit the fan but I have an idea because i have here a clip of another insane person

French Riots and the Pacification of the American Public

Riots broke out in Amiens, France, resulting in injuries to 16 police officers and the destruction of public buildings. The unrest is attributed to dissatisfaction with President Francois Hollande's policies and economic conditions. The discussion contrasts French willingness to protest with the perceived "pacification" of the American public through celebrity culture and media propaganda.

2:25:02 an insane veteran who is often in Virginia and I would say that if you're in Virginia, and you see this insane veteran You need to immediately go and arrest him And have him put away into a mental hospital That old Beach Boys song, Bomberman? There's your mentally insane veteran ladies and gentlemen. That's the mentally insane one. I disagree with that analysis...that guy! That guy is the one- that's the mentally insane one so but it's only thing that makes you feel good about Obama But it is very troubling

2:25:43 This is going on and I think we're gonna see more and more of this. This is all just a Lot of stuff going on all around the place, I mean one of the things Riots everywhere that were night that are not getting reported in fact when they're getting reported by their own people have a clip from van cat about which is just so bogus because they give me there's riots all over France and the reasons are pretty obvious to everybody who just, you always do is ask people why they're rioting. We play this French riot thing because this is not another unreported situation in the US Well we played a clip I think two weeks ago when this all started They pulled drivers from their cars and stole vehicles and they burned down school and youth center Dozens of young men rioted in a troubled district in northern France this week

2:26:35 The police department in Amiens says at least 16 officers were injured after rioters lobbed stones at them. About 100 young men were involved, it wasn't clear what exactly caused the unrest French Prime Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault has promised to deal with troublemakers with a firm hand It was it was a troubled neighborhood. You mean what? What caused the disturbance no French reaction to Oland yeah being full of crap Yeah, if it were if the American mentality wasn't so passive and we were like the French This would have happened within the first year of Obama's administration when he didn't close Gitmo And he didn't immediately end the war and all the other things He promised take that to the bank

2:27:22 and then doing nothing, and then going off and killing Americans without due process we'd be rioting but we don't do that. The French riot at the drop of a hat when somebody lies to them like Hollande did That's all it is. And oh, we don't know what's causing this unrest! So how long do you think this will last before it happens here? Do you think we'll ever get any unrest here in the United States of Gitmo? We had a lot of this in the years leading up to the 1970 economic downturn that lasted a decade And a lot of it was triggered by the Vietnam War because people were, you know, he had a draft and so people are bitching about that. And then there was the Watts riots which is amazingly huge in the Detroit riots which but these are black on black riots those were and then you have their

2:28:12 student riots. There's lots of rioting that used to take place, and that has all been deconstructed by the government lockdown and there have been methodologies put in place that pacify the whole country celebrity worship and all the rest is very complex Very well done. There is no chance there'll be something, it will break out once in a while but then the propaganda machine will come out like they've done with these vets they're picking up and get everybody... bugging everyone's mind to think of certain way oh these are terrible people and you know they're anti-american, they're terrorists I mean we got the whole thing set up so that you can't do a thing We're locked down And terrorism thing is part of it So is the TSA

DHS Sexual Harassment Lawsuit and Suzanne Barr Affidavits

Sworn affidavits in a sexual harassment lawsuit against DHS official Suzanne Barr allege a culture of lewd behavior and misconduct within Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The documents describe incidents of inappropriate comments and sexually explicit messages sent during official trips to Colombia. The lack of mainstream media coverage regarding these allegations against high-ranking officials is noted.

2:28:53 So while we're on that, let me tell you a little bit about your Department of Terrorism and the Department of Homeland Security as I continue to follow the sexual harassment lawsuit. Mainly for shits and giggles Two affidavits have come out John which i'd like to share with you Oh good This is way unsafe for the children So, two affidavits. I, name blacked out being over the age of 18 make the following statement under penalty of perjury have no personal relationship blah blah blah this is against Suzanne Barr. Suzanne Barr who was purportedly Lucy Napolitano's girlfriend who was brought in and sexually with with the other douche knucklehead sexually harass men at the Department of Homeland Security

2:29:40 On the last workday before... By the way, she wasn't qualified for that job to start with. Go on! On the last work day before Halloween 2009 my duties required me to go to the director's office where several employees were discussing personal Halloween plans I joined the conversation Suzanne Barr was also present for part of the conversation At some point during the conversation I witnessed Suzanne Barr turn to the senior ICE employee Tae Johnson and state You a sexy motherfucker Then she looked at his crotch and asked, how long is it anyway? Several employees laughed nervously. Shortly thereafter several employees returned to work duties myself included and several continued the Halloween conversation." Now let's go to Affidavit B this one's even better

2:30:27 And this is sworn testimony from people who are saying it's rampant in this Department of Homeland Security, the people who are trying to scare you into submission. I'm over the age of 18, blah-blah, make the following statement under penalty of perjury. I work for Immigration and Customs Enforcement at Columbia Area 2009. During late 2009 ICE Director Morton and others including Suzanne Barr and Ray Palmer visited Columbia During Columbia bear in mind during this visit Suzanne Barr and Ray Palmer were both at a party at the house of the deputy chief Of mission of the US Embassy in Colombia At which I was also present and as you can imagine John it says here during this party bar And Parmer were both drinking heavily Palmer obtained the Blackberry of Peter Vincent another ice employee and used it to send lewd messages to Barr

2:31:20 I viewed at least one message, which stated from Palmer posing as Vincent to Barr. You ready for the quote? Go! I want to eat the corn out of your shit. Ugh! During this party Suzanne Barr approached me and offered to give me a blowjob This is what's going on in your government people To arms I say Isn't that stunning isn't that just stunning Yeah and why is this not covered at all by NBC CBS Because you can't say New York Times... You can't say eat the corn out of your poop

2:31:58 You could? You could say, pussy riot. We just need to have a band. Hey everybody it's the Corn Horneos here. It's the corn- it's the corn eaters. The corn poop eaters. I can see... This is disgusting and again People that listen to our show, they have to ask the question why are you hearing it on our show? Why do you have to get this news from a podcast? Yeah! Why do you think of this as just from a podcast?! I mean it's great. It is the best podcast in the universe but still... ...it shouldn't be the one source for this sort of information So while that's happening, while they're offering each other blowjobs and sending text messages with a level of a 12th grader... not even 12th, 5th grader. Here is what they are doing to scare you about the upcoming elections which only of course is two parties. I want to get you updated on the latest political news this morning Federal law enforcement hoping for the best but

Senkaku Islands Dispute and Natural Gas Fields

Tensions are rising between China and Japan over the uninhabited Senkaku Islands in the East China Sea. While media reports focus on nationalistic protests, the underlying conflict involves access to massive undersea natural gas fields. The U.S. has signaled military support for Japan and plans to deploy surveillance drones to monitor the region's maritime activity.

2:32:57 preparing for the worst at the Republican and Democratic National Conventions. An intelligence bulletin obtained by CNN warns of violence by anarchist extremists groups. Veterans! Possibly using improvised explosive devices IED's that what veterans are all about? It cites concerns over bridges and infrastructure in both Tampa and Charlotte, that is where Democrats will be holding their convention Excellent excellent excellent Be very afraid of the convention Because if it's not the IEDs from the veterans, the crazy revolutionaries.

You are being propagandized people Well that's what happens So one thing we didn't discuss John is The thing you put in the newsletter and I have a clip

2:33:44 No, good. This is about the islands. Crazy Islands! Okay so let's just set this up John because it's very obvious what this is about but the clip accentuates how dumb we're being kept by our media There's a big gas discovery in the middle of somewhere between Taiwan and Japan. Yes, Senkaku Islands. It's an eight hole of maybe eight islands and they're actually privately or five of them are privately owned by some Japanese guy And his sister's at one island. I guess yeah, and anyway They these islands were always a dispute it's always been into did nobody these islands just there they're not doing anything there Nobody's using for anything but but

2:34:30 They've been in dispute for years but nobody's cared too much. But all of a sudden everyone wants to deal with these islands because it turns out that within the purview of the islands you can access this Huge gas field which is sitting north of the islands and so if the Chinese own the islands And they can start drilling in the gas fields at the Japanese on them, and then the Koreans are somehow involved in this and Curiously enough to Chinese have already been drilling in the area yeah it all depends on how you define the economic exclusive economic zone which would be a throwback to the law of the sea treaty because exactly and if anything is that is that the way their news media's playing this is there they never give it a motive for all of a sudden you know one part when you're a bunch of Chinese go over there and they protest in their turn up the car and their protests all over China anti-Japanese protest which obviously staged

2:35:27 They're all over the place and nobody ever says, oh it's a dispute over these islands as if anybody gives a crap. But even worse we are now sending over ships to patrol the area because of course who would we be? We need the best that we can get and the world has called once again and we needed go over there and we needed go protect the fields perhaps Do you think we could be protect... I mean, we protect the poppy fields. We have drones patrolling the pipelines Now he has to go because there's oil and gas Hey! Hey anyone with slanty eyes move away this is ours That's basically what were doing And here is once again my favorite pussy riot girl Erin Burnett She's going explain whats going on cause it so mysterious It suggested that situation could spiral out of control

2:36:17 Tensions are clearly rising. All this over a small cluster of islands that no one even lives on! No one even lives on, it's all about the islands... The Senkakus are privately administered by the Japanese but the Chinese claim they are the rightful owners These guys have got to work this out and we're not going to take side with it While officially neutral, the US defense treaty means it would have to back Japan in a military confrontation over these islands. So I think behind the scenes the United States is probably encouraging all parties including Japan to not take any actions that are going to further cause tensions to potentially spiral out of control Like recent incidents in which Chinese protesters turned violent

2:37:08 Yeah, that was so staged wasn't it? Turn the car upside down beat on tires and here hold a sign here I got some signs. It just printed them up for you and Japanese nationalists wave their flag This is Japan's territory The u.s.. Is signaling it will support Japan security if not its sovereignty claim the The Pentagon has traditionally conducted surveillance flights for anti-submarine warfare operations near Japan. We've upgraded those capabilities and are now going to, in the future potentially fly drones over that area which would provide better surveillance capabilities so that there would be more situational awareness of actually what is taking place

2:37:58 in that region. So I made a mistake, that wasn't the Burnett clip which i do have which is funnier but I like this one because whenever we bring out the drones it's always to protect some kind of oil or gas! That's what these things are for we run them up and down the pipeline get some situational awareness now here's Burnet And now our fourth story out front U.S. Marines today began serious, this is month-long exercises in the Western Pacific and some of these military exercises will be done alongside American ally Japan which has... It's just an exercise John nothing to see here. Mad as a hornet In an editorial Chinese state media warned the United States quote not to fan the flame in the region

2:38:39 Tensions are already extremely high thanks to a dispute between Japan and China over uninhabited islands in the East China Sea. Both countries, though claim to own them and on Sunday a group of 10 Japanese activists landed on the island unfurled their flags those actions sparked furious anti-Japanese protests across the nation of China Pentagon correspondent Chris Lawrence is out front tonight It's a frightening scenario. American troops backing their Japanese allies drawn into a conflict with China. China! And fighting over nothing more than some uninhabited islands and a few rocks. It's just a bunch of rocks, John!

2:39:20 It's just some rocks. Why do these people have any souls whatsoever to give these sort of shallow reports as news? It's just rocks who knows what's going on yeah, I can't understand why I mean They must be not their eyes and it must be the slanty eyes you can see straight. It's just rocks Yeah, that's another winner Oh, now you gotta love it man. Because if they weren't such idiots what would we do with our time? Well we could probably make money being publishing things or doing some real work so I got a bullet I'm gonna probably save one for Sunday i got this really funny clip but because when to go on in a high note but I'm not going to hey there's a report on everyone down at the end here yeah why not did so there's that back they do have us an end of show clip if you want me to set that up

Rio 2016 Olympics Housing Shortage and FEMA Trailers

Rio de Janeiro faces a severe housing shortage ahead of the 2016 Olympics and 2014 World Cup, with only 34,000 beds available for an expected one million tourists. Planners are struggling with security in local slums and a lack of adequate transportation infrastructure. Suggestions for temporary housing include the use of FEMA-style trailers to accommodate the massive influx of visitors.

2:40:16 But I do have a report for the Olympics in Rio that had a couple numbers in it that I went, oh this isn't going to be very funny. Play the Rio report on the Olympics." The main athletic stadium is nearly complete but there's still a lot to do as Brazil is also hosting the football World Cup in 2014 Beyond the Olympic venues, Rio will have to deal with other problems such as security. Hundreds of slums remain under the control of drug traffickers despite repeated efforts by the country's security forces Housing too is a concern. More than 1 million tourists are expected in the city that only has around 34,000 beds Not to mention the transport network The city is known for its gridlock and construction of new roads and a new metro line may not be enough to relieve congestion Let me get this straight

2:41:14 You're gonna bring in a million people. Yeah And you have 32,000 beds? Bunk beds I think they're bunk beds so it might work So they got 32,000 beds for a million people. Bunk beds! And then you're gonna have... so what how does this work? Are you going to build hotels specifically for the Olympics and then abandon them afterwards? FEMA trailers. Or are they going to open their homes and invite you stay there like did they do at Seabit maybe which doesn't have a million people coming in just has half-a-million I mean this is like what?! Does it make any sense at all? FEMA trailers John

2:41:53 trailer trailer the FEMA trailers yeah the poison FEMA trailer that'll solve it I had an end of show song but you didn't like the last one i had so i'm a little worried about playing that. It's the TSA song have you heard that? Have you seen that video? I didn't like it You didn't like it no No, I thought it was for-I thought it was-I thought it was a little lameish Because somebody, one of our producers sent it in and I watched it. I couldn't even watch the whole thing. I thought it was kind of lame to be honest with you. It's funny because Miss Mickey just heard the song she's like hey that's kind of good what is that?

2:42:28 Because it is kind of a good R&B to me. It had a nice beat, I mean as a song per se... It had a nice beat? John! It has this beat like that being Dick Clark here Is this the Ed Sullivan show now? No, Dick Clark Yeah This American bandstand Boy, he's- They have a nice beat These kids have a really nice beat but the lyrics are really just right I'm John Cena Warwick coming to you from American Bandstand. It's this ex-UK ambassador to Uzbekistan who was a whistleblower and he got fired, and he is now kind of an activist. And he is out lecturing the British public about Assange and pointing out some interesting facts about how embassies are with the status of an embassy as in what would happen if you actually went there and grabbed Assange? Oh good well do you know what happens

2:43:30 If you have an, uh... if you harbor Assange they turn on the volcano earthquake machine. They harp you You see that the volcanoes erupting now in Ecuador? Oh that's funny Yeah!

Craig Murray on Embassy Inviolability and Julian Assange

Former British Ambassador Craig Murray spoke outside the Ecuadorian embassy in London, asserting that diplomatic premises are "inviolable" under the 1961 Vienna Convention. Murray criticized the UK government's threat to raid the embassy to arrest Julian Assange as a violation of international law. He argued that such an action would set a dangerous precedent for diplomats worldwide.

craig murray· julian assange· ecuador· vienna convention· london· whistleblowing

2:44:14 In the capital of the drone star state in the morning, I'm Adam Curry. And from Northern Silicon Valley where we have no mosquitoes yet...I am John C. Dvorak. Ecuadorian President Rafael Correa speaking Friday shortly before Julian Assange spoke Sunday, a number of his supporters also took to the microphone outside the Ecuadorian embassy in London. Among the speakers writer and activist Tariq Ali as well as Craig Murray, the former British ambassador to Uzbekistan. Murray, a whistleblower himself was removed from office in 2004

2:44:50 after he exposed how the United States and Britain supported torture by the Uzbek regime. On Sunday, Ambassador Murray criticized the British government for threatening to raid the embassy to arrest Julian Assange. The Vienna Convention is absolutely plain. The Vienna Convention of 1961 is the single most subscribed international treaty in existence And it states in Article 22, Section 1 that the diplomatic premises of an embassy are inviolable. Full stop! Are inviolable. You cannot invade the embassy of another country

2:45:39 As Tarek rightly said, there were times when I sheltered Uzbek dissidents from their government within the confines of the British Embassy in Uzbekistan. Even during the heights of tensions of the Cold War, the opposing parties never entered each other's embassies to abduct a dissident. The fact that William Hague now openly threatens the Ecuadorians with the invasion of their sovereign premises is one further example of a total abandonment of the very concept of international law by the neo-conservative juntas that are currently ruling for former Western democracies.

2:46:33 And I can tell you something else for certain. The position that I've just outlined, that the invasion of a diplomatic premises is a crime in international law and a crime in the state whose premises are invaded That's a position which has taken by virtually every country in the world and it is a crime which is eminently extraditable So any policeman who forcibly enters the premises of the Embassy of Ecuador will find himself liable for extradition to Ecuador as soon as he leaves the United Kingdom. Ladies and gentlemen, I thank you all for coming here to listen

2:47:30 I thank deeply and from my heart those of you who have come to support Julian Assange, and support his continuing struggle for freedom. And to support the continuing cause of whistleblowing and revealing that which government does not want you to know we are here today for freedom. Here we stand, we thank the Ecuadorian government for their support and we stand with Julian Assange Thank you very much And a lot of it was triggered by the Vietnam War because people were, you know, he had a draft and so people are bitching about that. And then there was the Watts riots which is amazingly huge in the Detroit riots which but these are black on black riots those were and then you have their

On the last work day before Halloween 2009 my duties required me to go to the director's office where several employees were discussing personal Halloween plans I joined the conversation Suzanne Barr was also present for part of the conversation At some point during the conversation I witnessed Suzanne Barr turn to the senior ICE employee Tae Johnson and state You a sexy motherfucker Then she looked at his crotch and asked, how long is it anyway? Several employees laughed nervously. Shortly thereafter several employees returned to work duties myself included and several continued the Halloween conversation." Now let's go to Affidavit B this one's even better

CHAPTER 36 / 37 Discussion

Convention Security Warnings and Senkaku Drone Surveillance

Federal law enforcement issued warnings regarding potential violence from "anarchist extremist groups" at the upcoming Republican and Democratic National Conventions. Meanwhile, the Pentagon is increasing drone surveillance over the Senkaku Islands to provide "situational awareness" during the territorial dispute between China and Japan. The framing of these events in the media is criticized for obscuring the economic and political motives involved.

I want to get you updated on the latest political news this morning Federal law enforcement hoping for the best but

2:53:23 preparing for the worst at the Republican and Democratic National Conventions. An intelligence bulletin obtained by CNN warns of violence by anarchist extremists groups... Veterans! Possibly using improvised explosive devices IED's that what veterans know all about? It cites concerns over bridges and infrastructure in both Tampa and Charlotte That is where Democrats will be holding their convention Excellent, excellent, excellent Be very afraid of the convention Because if it's not the IEDs from the veterans, the crazy revolutionaries. It's going to be the huge hurricane that is coming! You are being propagandized people Well that is what happens So one thing we didn't discuss John Is the thing you put in the newsletter and I have a clip

2:54:10 No, good. This is about the islands. Crazy Islands! Okay so let's just set this up John because it's very obvious what this is about but the clip accentuates how dumb we're being kept by our media Yeah, there's a big gas discovery in the middle of somewhere between Taiwan and Japan. Yes, Senkaku Islands. There are some islands, it is an eight-hole of maybe eight islands and they're actually privately or five of them are privately owned by some Japanese guy and his sister owns one island I guess

2:54:48 anyway, these islands are always a dispute. It's always been into... nobody... these islands just there they're not doing anything there nobody's using them for anything but but they've been in dispute for years when nobody's cared too much but all of a sudden everyone's all up at once to deal with these islands because it turns out that within the purview of the of the Islands you get you can access this huge gas field which is sitting north of the islands and so if the Chinese on the island's and they can start drilling in the gas fields at the Japanese own them and then the Koreans are somehow involved in this and Curiously enough to Chinese have already been drilling in the area And it all depends on how you define the economic exclusive economic zone Which would be a throwback to the law the C treaty because exactly and the funny thing. Is that? is that the way their news media is playing this as I

2:55:39 They never give a motive for all of the sudden, you know, one bunch of Chinese go over there and they protest and they're tearing up the car. And their protests all over China at anti-Japanese protests which are obviously staged. They're all over the place and nobody ever says oh it's a dispute over these islands as if anybody gives a crap. But even worse we are now sending over ships to patrol the area Because of course, you know who would we be? You know we need the best that we can get and the world has called once again And we need to go over there. We need to go Protect the fields perhaps

2:56:17 Do you think we could be protect- I mean, we protect the poppy fields. We have drones patrolling the pipelines Now he has to go because there's oil and gas Hey! Hey anyone with slanty eyes move away this is ours That's basically what were doing And here is once again my favorite pussy riot girl Erin Burnett She's going to explain whats going on cause it so mysterious It suggested that situation could spiral out of control Tensions are clearly rising. All this over a small cluster of islands that no one even lives on! No one even lives on, it's all about the islands... The Senkakus are privately administered by the Japanese but the Chinese claim they are the rightful owners These guys have got to work this out and we're not going to take a side with it

2:57:04 While officially neutral, the US defense treaty means it would have to back Japan in a military confrontation over these islands. So I think behind the scenes the United States is probably encouraging all parties including Japan to not take any actions that are going to further cause tensions to potentially spiral out of control Like recent incidents in which Chinese protesters turned violent Yeah, that was so staged wasn't it? Turn the car upside down. Beat on tires and here hold a sign here I got some signs just printed them up for you. And Japanese nationalists wave their flag This is Japan's territory The US is signaling It will support Japan security if not its sovereignty claim

2:57:58 The Pentagon has traditionally conducted surveillance flights for anti-submarine warfare operations near Japan. We've upgraded those capabilities and are now going to in the future potentially fly drones over that area which would provide better surveillance capabilities so that there would be more situational awareness of actually what is taking place in that region. So I made a mistake, that wasn't the Burnett clip which i do have which is funnier but I like this one because whenever we bring out the drones it's always to protect some kind of oil or gas! That's what these things are for we run them up and down the pipeline get some situation and awareness now here's Burnet And now our fourth story

2:58:44 U.S. Marines today began serious, this is month-long exercises in the Western Pacific and some of these military exercises will be done alongside American ally Japan which has just an exercise John nothing to see here. Mad as a hornet In an editorial Chinese state media warned the United States quote not to flam fanned the flame in the region Tensions are already extremely high thanks to a dispute between Japan and China over uninhabited islands in the East China Sea. Both countries, though claim to own them and on Sunday a group of 10 Japanese activists landed on the island unfurled their flags those actions sparked furious anti-Japanese protests across the nation of China Pentagon correspondent Chris Lawrence is out front tonight

2:59:29 It's a frightening scenario. American troops backing their Japanese allies drawn into a conflict with China. China! And fighting over nothing more than some uninhabited islands and a few rocks. It's just a bunch of rocks, John! It's just some rocks. Why do these people have any souls whatsoever to give these sort of shallow reports as news? It's just rocks! Who knows what is going on?! I can't understand why, they must be not their eyes and it must be the slanty eyes you can see straight through them...it's just rocks Yeah yeah that's another winner

CHAPTER 37 / 37 Discussion

Rio Olympics Logistics and Craig Murray's Freedom Speech

The logistical challenges of the Rio Olympics are revisited, focusing on the discrepancy between tourist numbers and available hotel beds. The program concludes with a full recording of Craig Murray's speech defending Julian Assange and the principle of embassy sovereignty. Murray emphasizes that the struggle for Assange's freedom is intrinsically linked to the protection of whistleblowers globally.

3:00:14 Oh, now you gotta love it man. Because if they weren't such idiots what would we do with our time? Well we could probably make money being publishing things or doing some real work so I got a bullet I'm gonna probably save one for Sunday I got this really funny clip but because when to go on in a high note but i'm not going to hey there's a report on... Could you please bring everyone down at the end here yeah why not there's a fact that they have an end of show clip if you want me to set that up But I do have a report for the Olympics in Rio that had a couple numbers in it that I went, oh this isn't going to be very funny. Play the Rio report on the Olympics." The main athletic stadium is nearly complete but there's still a lot to do as Brazil is also hosting the football World Cup in 2014

3:01:02 Beyond the Olympic venues, Rio will have to deal with other problems such as security. Hundreds of slums remain under the control of drug traffickers despite repeated efforts by the country's security forces Housing too is a concern. More than 1 million tourists are expected in the city that only has around 34,000 beds Not to mention the transport network The city is known for its gridlock and construction of new roads and a new metro line may not be enough to relieve congestion Let me get this straight

3:01:40 You're gonna bring in a million people. Yeah And you have 32,000 beds. Ah bunk beds I think they're bunk beds so it might work So they got 32 thousand beds for a million people? Bunk beds And then you're gonna have... So what, how does this work? Are you going to build hotels specifically for the Olympics and then abandon them afterwards? FEMA trailers. Or are they going to open their homes and invite you stay there like they do at Seabit maybe which doesn't have a million people coming in it just has half a million I mean this is like What?! Does this make any sense at all? FEMA trailers John

3:02:19 trailer trailer the FEMA trailers yeah the poison FEMA trailers that'll solve it I had an end of show song but you didn't like the last one i had so im a little worried about playing that its the TSA song have you heard that? Have you seen that video? I didnt like it. You didnt like it? No, no I thought it was for-I thought it was a little lameish Because somebody, one of our producers sent it in and I watched it. I couldn't even watch the whole thing. I thought it was kind of lame to be honest with you. It's funny because Miss Mickey just heard the song she's like hey that's kind of good what is that? Because it is kind of a good R&B had a nice beat. I mean it's as a song say it had a nice beat Is this the Ed Sullivan show Clark yeah, this American bandstand it yeah boy you got a nice beat Really nice beat but the lyrics are really just right um

3:03:14 I'm John Cena Warwick coming to you from American Bandstand. It's this ex-UK ambassador to Uzbekistan who was a whistleblower and he got fired, and he is now kind of an activist. And he is out lecturing the British public about Assange and pointing out some interesting facts about how embassies are with the status of an embassy as in what would happen if you actually went there and grabbed Assange? Oh good well do you know what happens

3:03:55 If you have an, uh... if you harbor a song they turn on the volcano earthquake machine. They harp you You see that the volcanoes erupting now in Ecuador? Oh that's funny Yeah! That's a good call. You should've brought that up Well I have a clip if you want to hear it Sunday let's do Sunday Okay Sunday we'll do that clip Okay, so we'll do that as an end of show clip and we will be back on Sunday with another episode of the best podcast in The universe it is the no agenda show remember us at Dvorak org slash na We know help. We can get here in the dog days a summer as we winded up And I am gonna go bring in the outdoor furniture for the rain that's coming everybody your camp mofo

3:04:40 In the capital of the drone star state in the morning, I'm Adam Curry. And from Northern Silicon Valley where we have no mosquitoes yet...I am John C. Dvorak. Ecuadorian President Rafael Correa speaking Friday shortly before Julian Assange spoke Sunday, a number of his supporters also took to the microphone outside the Ecuadorian embassy in London. Among the speakers writer and activist Tariq Ali as well as Craig Murray, the former British ambassador to Uzbekistan. Murray, a whistleblower himself was removed from office in 2004

3:05:15 after he exposed how the United States and Britain supported torture by the Uzbek regime. On Sunday, Ambassador Murray criticized the British government for threatening to raid the embassy to arrest Julian Assange. The Vienna Convention is absolutely plain. The Vienna Convention of 1961 is the single most subscribed international treaty in existence And it states in Article 22, Section 1 that the diplomatic premises of an embassy are inviolable. Full stop! Are inviolable. You cannot invade the embassy of another country

3:06:05 As Tarek rightly said, there were times when I sheltered Uzbek dissidents from their government within the confines of the British Embassy in Uzbekistan. Even during the heights of tensions of the Cold War, the opposing parties never entered each other's embassies to abduct a dissident. The fact that William Hague now openly threatens the Ecuadorians with the invasion of their sovereign premises is one further example of a total abandonment of the very concept of international law by the neo-conservative juntas that are currently ruling for former Western democracies.

3:06:59 And I can tell you something else for certain. The position that I've just outlined, that the invasion of a diplomatic premises is a crime in international law and a crime in the state whose premises are invaded That's a position which has taken by virtually every country in the world and it is a crime which is eminently extraditable So any policeman who forcibly enters the premises of the Embassy of Ecuador will find himself liable for extradition to Ecuador as soon as he leaves the United Kingdom. Ladies and gentlemen, I thank you all for coming here to listen

3:07:56 I thank deeply and from my heart those of you who have come to support Julian Assange, and support his continuing struggle for freedom. And to support the continuing cause of whistleblowing and revealing that which government does not want you to know. We are here today for freedom. Here we stand, we thank the Ecuadorian government for their support and we stand with Julian Assange Thank you very much
