2:40:39 So on Sunday, we'll talk about SALT, we'll have an analysis of Paul Ryan, and the Scholastic episode. That's fantastic, I don't even have to show up. Yeah, no you don't. Coming to you from the capital of the drone star state here in Austin, Tejas. Good morning everybody, my name is Adam Curry. And from northern Silicon Valley where we missed out on getting the convention, I'm John C. Dvorak. We will talk to you again on Sunday right here on No Agenda. The best podcast in the universe! Devorak.org slash n The convention in Tampa, which seemed pretty full to me and he spoke for a good hour. It was at the Sun Dome. Yes, it was pretty big. Which is Florida State, no not Florida State, South Florida I think University. And it's a huge football stadium and it looked to me to be Obama sized audiences. It was big, yeah. It was really big. It was huge.
2:42:00 So and of course he really calls it the way it is one minute of this hour and a half speech which is really good. You know I think the important thing that we know in this room and the growing number of Americans are realizing that the worst thing we can do is remain silent. How many times I've been to the campuses, I brought this subject up about military arrests and the problems that we're facing, assassination and torture and all these things. And I said, but how many times, how many times have you read it or heard about it on the evening news?
2:42:35 I mean, it's almost like there's a silence out there. But early on in the campaign, I would bring up, I'd just sort of say, well, let me tell you a little bit about NDAA. And I would think I had to fully explain it. But as soon as I said NDAA, the people in the audience, they were outraged about it, which means We're not silent, we know about it, but we have to get around the system which will not report on it because they're part of the problem. They're part of the military-industrial complex. They're part of the military-industrial complex, exactly. You're talking about the media? Yeah.
2:43:19 I love that. It's so nice of you. It's obviously true. I mean, you can see the whole thing. It's a staged news. This picture that's on the front of the New York Times. But it's hard for people to believe this stuff, John. It's hard. It's hard for them to believe that it could actually be happening. It's extremely hard for them to believe it. got into this argument with a friend who bought that seal book that we talked about earlier in the show. You have friends? And he would not listen to any alternative theory except that guy was some guy, rogue! He was a rogue seal! And I said, what? How do you get to be a rogue seal? This is bull crap and you're buying it! A rogue seal.
2:44:01 Really? He bought- and this guy's probably really intelligent, right? He's a famous journalist. Oh no! Oh no, this hurts. And he's your friend? Oh yeah. He's a good football fan. But this is exactly what the problem is. And people just don't want to- No, they don't buy it. They can't get their head around it. It's not even fathomable because it makes no sense. But let me ask you a question. I was thinking, I was talking with JC about this. You know, we're talking because he's got apparently the latest thing going on with the truthers.
2:44:42 a new argument which is that 9-11 was irrelevant. It would have been something else. It's because this authoritarianism was in play way before 9-11. It was going to stay in play. It just moved it along a little faster. So, and I immediately thought to myself, well, Obama killing Americans just by fiat, I think he should be dead. It's nothing new. I mean, Clinton killed Gary Weaver's wife and a kid. With an FBI sniper, who everybody knows who it is, he's never been indicted, there's never been anything about it ever since. Clinton burned down the Waco operation, why? Why because? Killed a bunch of kids? Why because? And the guy who ran it? I mean this is nothing new, this has been going on. Where it began, I'm not absolutely sure. It probably began when the CIA killed JFK.
2:45:39 It could be. Ah, I noticed you didn't say, you're crazy! That didn't happen! You're nuts! A lot of people believe that. Yeah. That's not a crazy thing like moon bases. Well, since you bring it up, I can believe in moon bases if I want. So you know I was on this week in tech. Oh, you know I was told to talk to keep you off that. No, I only yourself at the beginning. I'm not talking about I'm not talking about that show. I'm talking about the response. That's what I'm talking about. What I find incredibly interesting is that if you have an alternative view on the landing on the moon here is what I have been called in the past 48 hours. It's a Holocaust. Twitter. Yeah.
2:46:28 I can look it up. Yeah a Holocaust denier. What's that got to do with anything? Oh no, even Leo himself said people who deny the moon landing are like people who deny the Holocaust. He literally said this. Okay. So worse John, I've been called a Republican because of this. I mean, now you're kicking me in the nuts when you say that. So somehow we've gotten to this point, and I understand why people get upset. You know, all your life since you were five years old, you think that you're going to be an astronaut, you're going to fly to the moon, and the minute I bring that into doubt,
2:47:09 You know, that destroys your entire worldview. It starts to crumble. You don't know what to do. So there's 25% of the people say, I'm going to punch you in the face, Curry, when I see you. Okay. Which is bull crap. But that's okay. I can understand people, people who have that immediate response. Um, there's a lot of people and an overwhelming amount, I felt probably 40% who say, Well, I think you have your right to your opinion, although that's bullcrap because that happened. But then the people who literally call me a Holocaust denier, you go back to Glenn Beck and Fox News. I mean, what is that all about? When did when did any alternative theory become analogous to right wing racism, xenophobia,
2:48:01 I don't understand. Berther, Truther, this is what I'm seeing now in our normal discourse. I was just talking about a moon landing, a little minor thing, which by the way, would we get some rocks? Yeah, and that was great for science. But what I'm seeing in the conversation is people are calling each other these names without thinking what it actually means. And that to me was... Actually, I was very excited because I'm like, wow, if I can trigger, if I can make this Pavlovian response, think of what I can do with this. I can use it for good or for evil. But it was fascinating to me. Literally fascinating how people will say, you don't believe in that? Well, you don't believe in the Holocaust.
2:48:51 you Jew hater. I'm like what? Republican Jew hater. I mean this is crazy. It's crazy John. I woke up and I'm like where am I? Can you explain this? How does this happen? Come on man help me deconstruct this. This is very common in a fascist authoritarian society where you have to actually have a you have to have approved opinions. Wait a minute. This is what I was afraid you were going to say. You're telling me that when a society gets to this point where it is a fascist authoritarian society where you have to shut up slave and agree with what the messaging is, this is what happens? So we are not. This is what this is. Oh my God. Well explained in the 1984 book. I'm like the canary in the coal mine here. Well yeah something.
2:49:43 But this is what you get in the, this read 1984. I've read 1984, of course I've read 1984. And it's pretty much discussed, there's other good books that are out there that have this, It Can't Happen Here by Sinclair Lewis. That's the one I've got to read, It Can't Happen Here. Nice short, it's a short Sinclair Lewis book. It got him thrown out of the liberal academic community as a... Sinclair Lewis is his name? Yeah, Sinclair Lewis, very famous, he won the Nobel Prize for literature. The guy is a great writer, or he's dead, but he was a great writer. He wrote this one book. He wrote so well they killed him. In my opinion, the better writer from that era was John Dos Passos.
2:50:33 Who was kicked out, really kicked out seriously and turned and he kind of went from being a left winger to a right winger And he did a book that was similar. I can't remember the name of it. John Dos Passos, is that his name? Yeah, John and it's D-O-S, one word, Passos, P-A-S-S-O-S. And John Dos Passos is really worth reading. Especially, I'd have to go look at his bibliography to tell you the exact book where he turned on his was the israeli lockstep you know they were dead the liberals tend to be the uh... the right wingers in the same way but if you think about it you have to in fact to be the president of a checklist of what you believe in and i don't think you're not you know again against abortion and your you'd listen to that your friends like you use is a whole checklist okay before you say you carry justin inch from any of the right on the check is nobody knows it but the check checklist together somebody
2:51:31 and you vary a little bit and then you're a Lib or a Rhino, a Republican name only, this kind of thing. Republicans have done this with this Rhino epithet that they throw at anyone who doesn't agree with them. Now hold on a second John, was it the USA the 42nd parallel? Was that it? That's part of a trilogy that he wrote. Okay. Do you know which book it is I'm supposed to read? Because I'll read this, man. I'll get it. I have to think about it. And I had forgotten to read Sinclair Lewis because you did, the major 14th, you did tell me that earlier. But, so thank you. So, so this is actually, so they are succeeding now. Well, they've been, now? No, no, but this, but I have never, John,
2:52:19 I have been called many things in my life. I'm not a very popular guy for a lot of reasons. But this was different, John. This was different. It was the crowd turning on you. But it was the crowd turning on me for something. I wasn't on my pulpit going, damn bull crap, it didn't happen. It's all a lie. The government's conspiracy. I didn't say that. I said, I got an alternative view. It was whatever. It was really laid back. But the audience, the crowd surged on me. Like you say, like you know, and these things that they're saying, that's what blew me away. Like, you don't believe, and even Leo himself said, well if you don't believe in the moon landings, that's like not believing in the holocaust. Like, whoa! So that is what happens. Okay, so what... You needed to go...
2:53:21 So what is the next phase, John, as a totalitarian state scholar of history? What is the next phase? I'm a lot of titles by your demand. Well, the next stage is whether you have to go to demonification of some specific group of people, and that probably will be the Muslims. and then you have to start rounding them up. You gotta round people up. That's it, you gotta round them up. But I don't think the Muslim thing is... we gotta round up something that's much easier. You think it's gonna be the Muslims this time? That's what we do? We just round up the Muslims? Well, it makes the most sense. We demonize them in many ways and even though most Muslims, and I've said this before and I'll say it again, yeah, there's a bunch of crazy Muslims out there that are causing trouble and they have a huge population altogether and because just a small percentage doesn't take much to mess things up. The Muslims themselves, if you really dig around the web, are
2:54:24 are bitching and moaning about these people. Of course they are, of course they are. And they never get any, everyone, especially the right wingers, they've never said a thing, why don't they speak up? They speak up. Yeah. All the time, and nobody pays any attention to them speaking up. So that's one of the little twisted things that bothers me, is that they do speak up. Have you ever noticed that of all these crazy veterans, who want to kill the president, we'll get to that after we thank our producers, who want to kill the president and who go and shoot up places. I wanted to talk to you about that. Can I just say one observation? Notice how they're never black? It's like we have no black people in our armed forces anymore. Yeah, when I think it's 60% are black. Yeah, and it's only white people who do this. Only white veterans who go crazy and want to go kill everybody.
2:55:20 So just to lead us into thanking some people for supporting our show, Tom Brokaw, and I was amazed that they, maybe this didn't air on television, but it was on the CNN website called, they have a thing called the red chair. Have you ever seen this? They put you in the red chair and you get to talk open and candidly. Now I feel like an idiot because I had never seen this. I don't think it's on television. I think it's only on the website. And Tom Brokaw is talking about how he... Tom Brokaw, here to talk to you about... He actually hates what the elite news media has become, as do we, which is I think part of the motivation for doing this show. So listen to him. So on the biggest weekend of the year for Washington journalists, turn it on, and there's Kim Kardashian.
2:56:11 He's talking about the press corps, the Washington press corps dinner with the president and what happened at this past year's celebration of the elite press media and politicians in Washington. And Lindsay Lohan and people in designer gowns and black tie and even the president, you know, up there kind of mocking the press and the press mocking him. Out of proportion, I think, to what it had been in the past. I just think it sends the wrong signal to the country. I can't imagine if you're out there, small business owner in Wichita, Kansas, or a schoolteacher who's worried about losing her pension in Seattle, you tune in to see how the American journalistic establishment is protecting your rights, and they're mostly interested in having their picture taken with Kim Kardashian. Go Tom!
2:57:05 He's not long for this earth, that's for sure. He always wonders where he's coming from. But I like that, I think that's pretty funny. No, that was a good one, I have to say, and he's right. I saw that whole event and I thought it was a humiliation for the media. They're just a bunch of psychophants. Just like the idiot, you know, high school girl who swoons over Justin Bieber. I mean, it's no difference. Same thing. I mean, they can't even be cool around Kim Kardashian. Yeah. Did you hear... I'm sorry, since we're here, did you hear about the guy who got fired from Yahoo News? No. You didn't hear about this? Okay.
2:57:46 This was nuts. So his name is, see this is where I have problems with my eyes, David Chalian. And so he used to work at PBS, Democracy, I think he actually worked at Democracy Now. And he also, he actually did the Charlie Gibson, Sarah Palin interview, another nice hit job. So, I guess on Yahoo News, which maybe that's part of ABC now, I'm not quite sure how it is, they run a package and they... but his mic is left open and he's talking and he says, well, I'll play it for you because it was really hard to understand.
2:58:34 And then I'll give you the quote. Let me see if you can hear it. It's about eight seconds, so listen closely. Could you hear it? Very hard, right? I couldn't really hear, I hear something about drowning. Yeah, he said, so this guy says... That was him? It sounded like a woman. Yeah, well no, while the package is running he says, the Republicans or Romneys are happy to have a party while black people are drowning. And of course, the news crew cracks up because this is hilariously funny! It's the Republicans! And he was fired immediately.
2:59:16 Uh, Yahoo was of course, uh, shocked. We are outraged by this. But then- This is outrageous! This is totally outrageous, I tell you. But then, uh, who's the woman that you hate so much? Eiffel? Well, let me think. Let me find my list. Eiffel, what's her name? I don't hate her, I think she's really good, except that she's compromised. Gwen Ifill. She's totally compromised. So she tweets out and says, oh one mistake doesn't take away from the fact that he's the best producer in the news business. She actually defends the guy while he's saying these things. You're not the best producer if you're an idiot and you don't know how to shut up. But this shows the same arrogance.
3:00:02 Ehhh... in news. This is when you don't hear what goes on behind the scenes. It's not like newsroom on HBO, people. And these people are extremely compromised. All of them. Yeah, I thought it was pretty... Yeah, it's depressing. Not really. Oh, yeah, what else would we do? I mean come on? Producers that think that at least what we're doing is exposing the truth now We may not be getting to the bottom of everything we get to the bottom of a lot though Yeah, and I want to thank some of the executive producers that came in for to show 439 including a number of new nights that decided hey now as the summer's over so let's
3:00:44 Get back involved Rodney Adams, Forest Virginia, send in 54321, which I love. 54321, boom! Wait, this is Atomic Rod. Oh, this is Atomic Rod, right. Love this show. I think you're wrong about climate change. You've been played by oil, gas and coal supporter propaganda. listeners can learn more at atomic insights yeah well hold on a second I'm a big you don't think this is a little bit biased okay let him have his little moment hold on a second what have I been duped about climate change what is he talking about I'm the number one guy for backyard nukes. There's a lot of stuff in climate change that everybody should go atomic
3:01:25 So anyway, atomicinsights.com and the Nuclear Literacy Project call and it's nuclearliteracy.org. I hope this donation starts the countdown to your recognition that fossil fuel wastes are more dangerous than the industry wants you to believe. I'm a little disappointed. I mean, I really appreciate Rod's donation. Not everybody who's a knight is exactly lockstep with what we think, which is fine. No, no, but... And I don't mind hearing these arguments because you can't argue anything unless you hear all sides and then pay attention to it. But the thing is, I think I'm on his side of the argument.
3:02:08 Well, he doesn't think so. Let's give it to me. Anonymous in Colleyville, Texas. Which is, where's Colleyville? Colleyville. $500 in the morning is a value for value across the transom which will complete my knighthood. Please knight me Sir Long the Good. Okay. Alright, cool. He says that you'll know what that means. I'm drawing a blank man. Sir Long the Good. Well, that's what he is anyway. Okay. Brian Rowley in Chantilly, Virginia. Another Virginian, coincidentally. 500. Like to thank you gentlemen for all that you do. Karma is karma. Well, fuck karma!
3:02:51 That's right. I wrote it and John said it. I still didn't get the karma I was looking for or any other karma that I could tell which is an improvement. The first time I got bad karma. I don't want any more karma nor do I want anyone else to give me karma. I most likely get bad karma. The donation is putting me further in debt but you gentlemen are worth it. Now enough about me. I hope to God this works. I would love to give my only good karma and to and wish Mrs. Curry, Mrs. Curry, Ms. Curry, whatever, a happy birthday since we shared the exact same birthday. And to you both and your family, gentlemen, I know that I don't do this anymore, but I'm letting you know that I'm not renewing several forwarding sites that I've done and giving you the money.

Yeah your birthday is on Monday and so the newsletter team
3:08:41 Came up with the idea. The staff at the newsletter desk. The newsletter desk of trained journalists decided that a $48 donation in celebration like they had a $60 one for me. But then it dawned on me as the editor of this product that $48.48 was more rhythmic. It had a nicer quality to it. You know, it's gonna be your last 48th birthday. But we normally don't mention anyone under 50, so I get to thank people at least by name who... Yeah, there'll be a list of names and you can just say, thank, thank, thank, thank.

Hopeful Edmund, Arlington, Virginia. 22222. Wait a minute, another Arlington, Virginia? Yeah, we got it with our list they finally picked somebody who got the word out in Arlington. I asked for a de-douching from T Adams Donation I asked for a de-douching from T Adams donation if you could add a karma shot And that's one hot mill if you are the best podcast in the universe all from Arlington spy central How convenient is that?
3:12:05 Okay, so once it's time You've been d douched that's one hot milk, baby. You're not karma It's a bias. That kind of analysis anyone does. Dean Chartier and Calgary, Alberta $200 in the morning. It's been a few weeks so here's another $200. I'd like to mention a movie called The Postman. It's a post-apocalyptic movie with Kevin Costner but it's set in 2013. It was made in 97. And although widely panned by the critics because it's really bad, my somewhat paranoid view is that it's too weird. Wait, wait, wait, are you editorializing this donation note, John?
3:12:43 The donation note came in yesterday and by coincidence, and even though he's not in Arlington, by coincidence they were showing that movie on I think Encore. So I went in and watched part of it. I didn't see the whole thing but I watched part of it. And it's for 2013. Everyone's on horses for one thing. and it's about a guy who becomes a postman to blend in with the government or something. There's clips in there and I'll pull them out for the show. Well, you know what? I'm gonna go and watch that now. Sounds like this is a great movie. If you don't like it, it's gonna be a great movie. You're gonna see the same way I saw it. Corny! Okay. At least here in Calgary, Canada, it was removed from iTunes. Oh.
3:13:29 My paranoid view is that it's too real for the New World Order to allow it. It was on iTunes but was removed about a year ago, at least here in Calgary and Canada in general. It's worth a look and I'd appreciate knowing what you and Adam think. I promise not to phone you at home to discuss. Please don't do that. I got no time for that. So that's our executive producers for show 439. We want to thank them all it was a good holy moly a great group Yeah, you kidding came in versus. You know just in time for school and Mind you go to work org slash na channel to work a channel Dvorak comm slash na no agenda show comm and no agenda nation comming click on you by the way no agenda nation so Eric I don't know if because I he's getting irked about
3:14:15 Uh, am I mentioning the lanyards or... He sent me a box. He sent me a box! I have 8,000 lanyards. Yes. And you know what? I love them. Yeah, I know, you're a big fan of these things. But people come to the house and like, here, have a lanyard. And they're like, oh, thank you. That's such a wonderful gift. And I have another, have a white one to go with your black one. I'm gonna drop them off over at the media offices. Don't give them to those douchies. I got millions of them. No, give them to the homeless people. Homeless people love them. I will. They can clip their cup to it. You got a dollar? No, but I've got a lanyard. Yeah, they can clip their cup to it.
3:14:57 Ah, that's not a bad idea. I think homeless walking around with no agenda show down your great stem. I think this is a great idea and from now on I too, because you know we have a thing here in Texas when you, in Austin at least, when you stop at the stoplight outside of the city, kind of on the outskirts of the city, you know there's people there like you know wounded veteran, brain injury, can't get a job, you know and it's very hard you know it's like I want to but now I'm just gonna say hey man how you doing? Have a lanyard. It's value for value. Dude, what did you give me? Nothing? Let me give you a lanyard. It could be useful. Yeah, it could. I think that's better than a dollar. Well, it's more practical. Yeah. And yeah, anyway. Okay, so lanyards it is. Somehow I like the idea. I think that's really good. I'm going to start doing it. And if they go like, what? Dude, what do you mean, what? It's a lanyard, dude.
3:15:57 You know what I used to like to do? When I was at Tech TV and I was a substitute host for this show called Big Thinkers. Ah, I remember that show, yeah. And so Big Thinkers had these hats that say Big Thinkers on the hat that they were giving all the guests. Well, I ended up with a box of them after the show followed. Oh, great, yeah. And I loved giving them to the homeless. Because there's nothing funnier than a guy standing there begging for money with a hat that says big thinker on it, so It's kind of sick, but I just thought it was fun What was the response when you gave them the hat were they happy as happy with like a dollar man? Thanks? Yeah, really? They usually have a grody hat they need to get right swap out the hat once I think but a lanyard could be handy for them if they could collect the whole set the whole Noah's End I think it have badge yeah, I
3:16:45 Maybe you should make some homeless badges and give them that. They put it on the lanyard. If you give them two, they won't have to hold the sign. They can just clip it to the lanyard. And they can wave with both hands. This is a very valuable... You know there are people now who are now like, these guys are such incredible douchebags. They are laughing at the homelessness in America. Yeah, well, we're laughing with the homeless. We're laughing with the homeless. Dvorak.org. Slash N-A. Please remember that so we don't become homeless. And thank you Martin JJ for your outstanding contribution to our art. We never can thank artists enough. And that of course was in episode 439. If you have any plans to help us, you can always go out and propagate the formula on your homeless side. Our formula is this. We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
3:17:46 Hey, by the way John remember we did the Taylor Swift audition yeah guess what what not a peep what not a peep not a callback nothing I'm not the best director for you then I think you are without it that you are the absolute best director I don't understand how you could not be seen as the best director in the universe I've been saying that hmm all right onward yes What else you got? Well I got some, I mean there's all kinds of stuff. I got one, let's just change the light a little for a second. So I'm, there's a big rock concert, this is from Euronews. There's a big rock concert and in Reading
3:18:38 Yeah in the UK. It's huge. Everyone's there. Yeah now I've got a little clip from a report about it, and it's got a guy again It's gonna talk over. Is that the Reading Festival? Is that what it's called? Yeah, the Reading Festival I think. So I have a clip here, and this is an Ask Adam. Hey we can play the Ask Adam thing if you can find it. Oh yeah, well I'll play the clip first, and then we'll do the Ask Adam. Okay, this is the clip, and it's gonna have a little bit. Now I want you to listen to it carefully. Can I go? Around a hundred thousand people were expected at Wedding over the three days with Florence and the Machine, the Shins and the Kaiser Chiefs also on the line. What is the question?
3:19:33 What the hell is this woman singing? I can't understand one word of it. And she, I mean, she sounds like a, you know, a great slick wannabe. There's a true. No, but she's Florence in the machine. Is it? Okay. She's Florence in the machine. I thought it might be, but then again, you know, I'm not, I'm not a big, I'm not a big fan of Florence in the machine. But can you just tell me what her lyrics are? I want to know what she's saying. Yeah. Yeah. Hold on a second. I'll, I'll, I can tell you exactly what she's saying. Listen to it again. I think it was uh I don't know I have no idea what she's saying I have no idea what she's saying. What is she saying? Why are they showing a clip? The woman is like she's over modulating, she's screaming, she stinks. I think she was saying
3:20:24 Uh, holy Christ, get rid of Putin. I think it was, you sure that wasn't Pussy Riot on stage there, John? You sure that was Florence and the Machine? So I was, I don't have this in front of me, but I was in LA on Monday. Oh, okay. And I'm driving around and I, cause what I tend to do when I go, so I'm driving around and I go past one of these, like a transformer or something. It's got a huge Pussy Riot poster. Oh, really? Awesome. Yeah. And it said something weird on it. Like, you know, they're auditioning or something. No, I heard on one of the news stories that they are auditioning for new they are auditioning Yeah, but I think I told you heard that on this show. What are you talking about? Why am I seeing a poster in LA? You know pussy ride one of our Russian
3:21:07 Yes, you saw that email in front of you. I could find now I have my email closed, but I could open it up Did you see the link he sent to when when the same pussy right people who were used to be boy now? Which was kind of they're kind of like a an arty anarchistic group their belligerence essentially and they had the orgy at the museum. Did you see that whole website? The orgy at the museum? Yeah. This woman who is now in jail... Yeah, go ahead, explain. This is one of our better informants from Russia. I mean, he's obviously, you know... Of course. You don't know what he's up to. But here's a couple of interesting tidbits I'm reading from his note.
3:21:54 On show 436. It was more than a note by the way, it's a long email. It was essentially a debriefing. He's our handler from Russia. It was a report of some sort. Kasparov's arrest we talked about. Interesting factoid, he allegedly bit the cop who dragged him. Typical. And you're right, he's a US operative. That's what you said. His professional duty is to go and stir things up. You can remember that he once streamed his protest live into some commission of the US Congress. Yeah, but get to the pussy riot thing, because there's a lot of stuff that he basically confirms that we were right. But then the pussy riot thing, I mean, you know, so literally here we go. Oh, sorry. Read about pussy right down on it is a law large, but you have to say it differently. It's be pussy riot. You can't say you rise pussy. I have the official pronunciation. Hold on a second. This is Reuters, Reuters, you know, and Reuters is ministry of truth. Here it is. The lawyer representing the three members of the Russian female punk band, pussy riot has pussy riot. That's how you say right. Pussy riot. You can't say pussy rides, pussy riot.
3:22:57 Okay, pussy rides an offspring Say it correctly now pussy riot. I kid I sound like Oprah Good I'm gonna pronounce it my own way offspring of art group not banned Viona war which means you make recovery burner by the kiss the cheese There's the people behind the kiss police woman actually Which we thought we're net meme yeah, the one did she the hot chick who was the one now in jail went up? You know if you do this enough And they're literally, they are having sex in a museum. And like a lot of sex. Which is, I mean, cool, the pictures are great. Eventually you're gonna get busted for it. They're provoking. She and the group was also involved with steel frozen chicken in vagina. Paint the dick on a bridge near FSB, for which they were awarded by the Ministry of Culture.
3:23:52 Oh. For the paint the dick on a bridge near FSB. Paint the dick on a bridge. And so they got a, uh, they got an award for that? An award from the culture minister. Awesome. Back to Pussy Riot, they protested Putin on multiple occasions including on Lobnoyem Mesto, Red Square, and just got slapped with 15 bucks fine. And then he's got some links and he says the actions are motivated by the enmity or hatred of orthodoxy, the part about the church thing, and hatred against the members of the Orthodox Church. Russian political columnists believe that they are being financed by Boris Berezovsky, fallen out of favor oligarch, hiding in London. Yeah, this guy is very angry at Putin. Berezovsky, yeah. I think Putin took his money.
3:24:42 That would be one of the reasons I think. That's how these guys operate. Yeah, that's how these guys operate. Anyway, also finding that's possible that the Ukrainian feminine F e M e n yeah, those those are the the chicks who? Paint themselves weirdly and are everywhere that kind of it's I like there are like feminine art a lot I think they're pretty cool, but they're gonna get busted too who cut down Christian crosses in Kiev in quote-unquote Supportive push the ride although it backfired as it turned up. It was a Catholic cross oops established in memory of communism victims oops Now they're threatened to be qualified as extremists for cutting down other crosses and by the way there have been four crosses cut down in Russia
3:25:27 I see these women as part of a coordinated attempt to divide people in Russia. In the last year alone there was that pussy riot, hullabaloo, photoshop watch of patriarch scandal, I don't know anything about that, the church doesn't pay taxes case, and lots of others including failed attempts to assassinate the Mufti of Tatarstan and today's bombing of Dagestan's Sheik. Also opposition began to unite with Salafi and Wahhabist separatists in Kazan Yeah, I think what I think the point of the email is you guys are pretty much only Scratching a little bit of the surface of what's really going on there. Yeah, and it goes on and on I mean it goes on and on and this letter is quite interesting we will be deconstructing it so we can get you know our job is to do what apparently the mainstream media won't do which is to look into this stuff with more than just I want a great name for a band or
3:26:26 Hey, can I get a picture with Lindsay Lohan? Yeah. Anyway, so there's something going on with this group in this guy's. Well, no, what's going on is it's a man in Moscow's handling handling exactly our man in Moscow is on the scene and it is it is anything but to it's just a discredit Putin and make him look like crap because that's what Lucifer Clinton loves. Everyone's United. It's an evil web. Yes, that's what it is. So, interesting, this was big news in New York. I only found a radio report of it, but a reporter, you want to hear a real shut up sleigh? This is the other side of the problem with the media. When they ask a question, they get hammered into the ground.
3:27:19 and a reporter, a female reporter I believe, asked Mayor Bloomberg, hey you know were these cops who uh you know shot nine innocent bystanders by accident uh you know is this like acceptable? Which is I guess kind of a valid question don't you think John? Yeah see this is a procedural thing that they obviously the cops I mean this was not good for the public they have cops just going crazy shooting up the place Well, would you like to hear the mayor's answer in response to your question? I'm on all ears. Let me ask you this, miss. Somebody pointed a gun at you and you had a gun in your pocket. What would you do? I think that answers the question. The police commissioners looked at it. They acted more than appropriately. I've seen the film. The guy turned, pointed his gun at the two police officers and you can really ask that question after that? Shut up, slave!
3:28:09 That's not how you answer that question in my humble opinion. What a douchebag. Where's the douchebag sound effect? That guy's the worst. But isn't it, that is... Now let's go back to our totalitarian fascist state. This is how this is how it works with the media. Shut up! How dare you ask that? How dare you? What do you think the Holocaust didn't happen? That got under your craw. Yeah, yeah, I there's some things I'd hate. Yeah, there's something No, I'm sorry being called a Republican is worse. That's actually being called any political thing is worse So that is part of the totalitarian Police state vibe when the press just gets slammed down by the billionaire mayor who extended his term illegally Shut up, just shut up. Of course if I pointed a gun at you, how would you respond?
3:29:03 That's I mean isn't that isn't that crazy if I pointed a gun at you how would you respond? Yeah, but I'm not the police. I'm not trained That's what she said. Oh, are you kidding me? You think she would hold her? They would have Tased her on the spot man Wow so my sister willow sent me something Which I didn't understand at first it turns out because I actually went and googled the story and the story Is in the news today or actually yesterday today the 30th like USA Today and because of some survey I think she sent me a clip from Law & Order Special Victims Unit and Did you get them did were you copied on this email John? I didn't well I might have been but I didn't see it. So this okay, so this is
3:30:00 a clip from Law & Order Special Victims Unit and I thought it was real. I thought it was like one of her mom friends or something reading something into it. I was like, why is she sending me this clip of someone reading about an article? I go and Google the article. It actually is true. So I'm not sure when this came out. I have no context behind it, but I thought since you watch those shows, maybe you could help me. This is a new study published in Science Magazine. It found that people who have witnessed gun violence are twice as likely, sometimes three times as likely to commit an act of violence themselves. Nathan witnessed Ted Carthage shoot his mother and just as this study predicts, he reacted with violence. So this clip goes on.
3:30:51 And I google this and I see, you know, an article, doctors target gun violence as a social disease. It's a public health problem because it's a virus, you see. When you have witnessed gun violence, then you go and do it yourself. And we will have a vaccine for it eventually. But my head is like, I'm like, what? This is a fictional television show that is saying this and it's actually now in the press? Am I nuts John or is this just coordinated? Well, we're of the opinion is coordinated but but this was a show that is a Collective of the show now is opinionated that as a collective that it's coordinated This is yeah, the wild man. That was like I was like wow a little bit more of that equates And that is actually the study that was done Now you can Google it
3:31:51 Gun violence virus. Yeah, well they most of this is ripped from the headlines Wow, so it would be big they do that it you know, no, but no, but no, but hold on a second This is a headline from yesterday. So this this show was produced way before yesterday Oh, yeah, at least four months ago. Yeah, so it sounds good. It sounds right. Yeah, it doesn't surprise me well So back, we can get back on the Russia track for just a minute. Okay. I'm noticing, because I'm watching the different feeds of Russia today, and they're pulling out the all stops.
3:32:29 Right there. They've decided okay. We can't be the kind of you know CNN and or you know MSNB We are gonna be promoting we're gonna be slamming the competition and promote Russia right so I got two clips that one of them is quite interesting because it actually reveals a news item that I guess nobody including us even picked up on which is censorship by the BBC and Oh. Specific censorship. Okay. And that, we can play that clip first which is RT propagandizing against Western media. They just slammed the Western media here and then they have, they bring some woman on, she's a little hard to understand, but she discusses a clip that was, I guess, pulled. And then the excuse for being pulled makes no sense. Lucy Kavanaugh reports much of the Western media coverage is directed against the picture Assad is trying to paint, even if that means sanitizing their own coverage.
3:33:23 It was another disturbing example of the many atrocities committed throughout the Syrian war. A truck bomb with homemade explosives headed for a checkpoint to the entrance of Syria's largest city. This is a great story. I follow this. This is very, very interesting. But the men that are loading it aren't Assad forces. They're one of the many groups fighting under the banner of the Free Syrian Army. Their captive is said to be a member of the Shabiha, a militia with very close ties to the Assad government. The video filmed by the New York Times and turned into an on-air segment by the BBC captured what human rights groups called evidence of an attempted murder, a potential war crime under international law.
3:34:05 Video of rebels from the Free Syrian Army trying to use a prisoner as an unwitting suicide bomber in their attacks on government forces. Now the cameras didn't follow the prisoner who had no idea that while being blindfolded he was actually embarking on a suicide mission. He simply thought that he was being given his freedom. The very next morning he was said to have escaped after the bombs failed to detonate. Now the BBC had aired the story on August 22nd, but this glimpse into the darker side of some of the tactics now being used in the uprising never aired again. The story was also pulled from the BBC website. The network told me that this was due to copyright issues. Now this very video raises the question about whether such tactics may be more widespread among the opposition than what has been previously documented. Yeah, I saw the entire video.
3:34:54 It was it was it was on what they said the reason why they had to get rid of it is they didn't have the rights for the web I mean all is a bullcrap and the whole documentary I felt you know which was it was maybe eight minutes long the whole thing reeked of bullcrap from beginning to end this so-called leader this guy's a great actor the this charismatic the on the truck thing the guy gave me it was it was scripted John from beginning to end. Well it sounds a little dubious okay we're gonna let you go by the way before you go put on this 40 pound jacket will ya? No no no didn't even say that it's just you know it's like hey drive this truck with the big tarp over the back please. Drive the truck over please. So anyway so but anyway this is RT going after the everything and my favorite thing is describing the Grim situation clip where the RT people
3:36:02 Kind of give us an overview of what's going on in Europe, and it's quite hilarious With millions in the EU sinking into poverty unable to afford basic necessities Companies are forced to produce smaller cheaper goods for the struggling masses in the age of austerity of the age of austerity. Yeah, well, you know what that's about? It's like, hey, stand back. You ain't going to get no natural gas from us if you don't play it right. That's what that is. That's a shot across the bow from Russia if I ever heard one. Yeah. And may I say so. May I say about struggling masses, about struggling masses in the age of austerity. There's an interview. I think it was exclusive to some maybe the independent in the United Kingdom, Gitmo Nation East.
3:36:50 An interview with Waleed Mualim, who was the foreign minister. And so we don't have video that I can find yet, but he says, yeah, you know, the Americans are behind all this. This is bull crap. Have you Googled Waleed? Tell me who this guy looks like. Give me his name again Wally W. I'm so freaking blind w a l id L ID Mualim M U a l l e m tell me who he looks like tell me that this is mu a Lle M and tell me this is not a famous actor pretending to be oh this this guy this I was thinking of somebody else I
3:37:39 Yeah, he looks like John Goodman. Thank you very much! It's not looks like, it is John Goodman. John Goodman is sitting there pretending to be the Syrian foreign minister. I guarantee you. This is John, look at him! It's John Goodman! Totally John Goodman. There's one picture that's identical to this. And I like this. This blew me away. I'm like, what is John Goodman doing in this piece? This is funny. There's a website called Lebanonisnogood.com.blogspot.com and it's got...
3:38:18 The the tide is the best John Goodman picture to his Arab treason Syrian pig wants peace with Israel Syrian pig walleed al maulam the fat Syrian pig is willing and ready to make peace with Israel exchange embassies drop Iran has a lot like a bag of dirt for nothing more than getting back half of the Golan anyway This is a site by a guy named Hannibal in Lebanon, supposedly. Well, I think it's very nice that John Goodman is trying to help out. He's doing a good job. He's doing an outstanding job, actually.
3:38:56 There was some, oh by the way, hot news coming out of Manhattan. Since you know, of course, let me just get the logic here. When it's really hot and you have a drought, when you don't have a lot of water, that's apparently when you get a lot of mosquitoes who carry the West Nile virus. Which of course goes against, do you have mosquitoes in Silicon Valley up there, Northern Silicon Valley? We have no mosquitoes. We have very few mosquitoes this year. I think the weather's too hot for them there. But that's what I'm saying. When it's really hot, you have a drought situation. You don't have a lot of puddles. Does that not go contra to all thinking about how mosquitoes come to be? Isn't that... this makes no sense to me.
3:39:41 I'm sorry, what doesn't make sense? That if you have a drought, no water, that there are more mosquitoes. That makes no sense. No, why would that make any sense? They need puddles. They need standing water. That's how they breed. Right, but this is what is now being told right down. New York City has had 100 plus degree temperatures, correct? Yeah. Heat wave. Well now they're going to spray Manhattan for the West Nile virus. Are you kidding me? Please, you gotta make sure that you know what they're spraying. It's the Bloomberg love potion. Yeah. I don't know. Well, I question this. People just like, oh okay, spray away.
3:40:31 Where I don't it doesn't even make sense you can't say on one hand we've had an incredible drought you know global warming we're all gonna die but because of this we have more mosquitoes and they have west of Nile virus you can't give me all these things at the same time. Yet they do. I pulled up a couple of quotes for us John. Just to prove that in the winter of 2010, which was an extremely cold winter, we had blizzards, we had all kinds of weather anomalies, storms around the world. And what did, of course we were laughing like, ha, there's your global warming. What did all of the climatologists and weather people, what did they say at the time?
3:41:17 Well, they would say in the cold, the colding, they would say weather's not climate. So it doesn't mean anything. But we expect to have, they've kind of morphed their message into extreme Well, no, let's let's no no it's not even that but let's first go back to 2010. I have a professor from UC Davis that doesn't mean we are experiencing climate change No, you actually can't you can talk about changes in the weather over the last 40 or 50 years But you're talking about climate you're talking about thousands of years and we'll see how okay so weather is not climate you can't say weather is climate now let's listen to a woman who is from the NOAA
3:41:57 The National Oceanographic...Oceanographic...oh yeah. Thank you. Joining us by phone is Jane Lubchenco. Lubchenco. She's the administrator of the National Oceanic... She's the administrator, no less. By the way, this woman sounds like what the Democracy Now! lady is going to sound like in about 10 years. Five years. So this is the administrator. This is like head honcho of NOAA. Good morning to you. It's good to have you. Hi Diane, thank you. It's a pleasure to be here. Thank you. Last week we saw some really unusual weather patterns, not only through the mid-Atlantic but even today in the southern part
3:42:46 of the United States, what do you think has made this year so different? Diane, I think it's important that people recognize that weather is not the same as climate. Okay, I just want to make sure we have this on record. The NOAA. Weather is not climate. Can we trust the NOAA, John? Should we be able to trust them? Yeah, they're compromised. So they're always going to be compromised in the direction that benefits them. And if they say that, I trust it. So I would like to introduce that woman to former Vice President Al Gore. The new information that I'll be
3:43:23 focused on in this new version of the slideshow. Why he's updating the slideshow, John. It's the infamous slideshow. Includes a lot of the new... He sounds smashed. Oh, he's hammered. Oh yeah, he's hammered. ... evidence linking these extreme weather events around the world to the climate crisis. Wait a minute, wait a minute, did I just hear that right? Extreme weather events around the world is linking it. He has proof. And he has a powerpoint. No longer a legitimate question for doubt or debate. I know there's some people that don't like to hear it put that way. But people around the world are suffering from the consequences of the droughts and the heatwaves and the extreme flooding events and the
3:44:09 unprecedented windstorms and the fires. The fires! We've gotten to the point now where it's kind of absurd for anybody to say, hey nothing's going on, what's wrong? July was in the US. Listen to these numbers. I want you to listen to these numbers and deconstruct what he's saying. Hottest month ever measured and... Wait a minute. He just said July was the hottest month ever measured. Ever. Measured and... Ah, crap. I'm gonna go back a little bit. Are you still with me? I'm listening. ... hottest month ever measured... Ever. ... and globally, nine of the ten hottest years ever measured have been within the last ten years. Globally, nine of the ten hottest years have been within the last ten years. Okay? This is the 337th month in a row
3:45:06 where temperatures were higher than the 20th century average. This is great. 337 months in a row where the temperatures were greater than the 2000... 20th century. 20th century average. What do you make of that number? Besides it's magic 33 and a 7. I think it's bogus. Yeah. And I think it's provably bogus and I don't, you know, and again, the way that measuring itself has changed its methodologies. And so I don't know if I can compare one to the other. It's like all of a sudden you have a jacked up baseball that just flies further and you can't compare the home runs hit with that ball, the dead ball era. Oh, that's a good comparison actually.
3:45:59 All right, let's finish up 10 seconds. ...than the 20th century average. And the fact that the news media doesn't report it in that context, every night on the news now, practically, is like a nature hike through the Book of Revelation. No! It's the Book of Revelation. Okay, now at least I understand what's going on. Hold on a second. The science is in! Science! Science! Science! The science is in! Science! Science! Science! Which leads me to Bill Gates. I'm sorry to hear that Bill Gates has awarded a 17 million dollar grant to Seth Kallichman, K-A-L-L-I-C-H-M-A-N, part of the, was it Connecticut University, I believe, to establish quote
3:47:02 An internet-based global monitoring and rapid alert system for finding, analyzing, and counteracting communication campaigns containing misinformation regarding vaccines to support global immunization efforts. Interesting. How about that, huh? Amazing. So we'll be talking on the show, and I'll be like, ah man, you know, maybe you should consider not getting the flu shot or something and then what? All of a sudden the alarms go off? Open up the door Mr. Curry! Now! 17 million dollars and by the way it's a 17 million dollar website which I think is kind of cool. Yeah, interesting. Yeah that's just the way, this is part of the whole structure of things. So we are in a totalitarian state John. Yeah.
3:48:06 Have you ever... Just look outside. Count the police when you're on your way to work. And they're only... They're not stopping crimes. They're, you know, giving you parking tickets and making sure you don't go too fast and keeping you in line. Has there ever been a time in recent history when we had this? When this was... this kind of situation. I mean, please don't say Hitler. Anything. Hitler. Stalin. Please don't. Anything. Pol Pot. Please tell me there's something after, in modern world, like not just Hitler. Is that the most recent one was Hitler? Is that it? Stalin. Stalin is longer. How sad is that, man? I don't think I can handle this. What am I going to do? You're in Texas.
3:48:48 Yeah, this is true. Texas is a little more liberal about this. Generally speaking, they're not as... I mean, they have their own issues. Texans, you know, they get a bunch of problems there too, but... Oh, you mean like... It sounds to me like New York City is the worst place in the world with this idiot running it. Yeah. Well, no, Texas, we have... In San Antonio, just down the road, they've got... Now they're handing out RFID necklaces to the kids in school because they keep losing track of them. Like, pfft, you're a slave, have your slave bracelet. Oh, well. Did you have anything that you wanted to lead into our donations with or can we just go straight to it? I'm thinking. I'm looking at the clip list. I just one little commentary from a somebody sent a note and you can play this refinery fire clip and all this you know. Oh this is about Venezuela? Yeah.
3:49:43 Venezuela's biggest oil refinery remains offline after firefighters finally put out a blaze which has raged since Saturday. An investigation has been launched into the initial explosion which triggered the fire. The disaster, which has left at least 41 people dead, has sparked a debate about safety levels in the industry. It's a bullshit thing now I'm only playing this because we had one of our donors sometime a few weeks ago say complaining about the Chevron refinery having its little mini fire which I thought was a joke of a fire. It took a while to put it out but the guy says in the note he says well if that's a small fire that wasn't that big of a deal of refineries back online. He said well if that was a small fire then I'd like to know what a big fire is. Check this baby out here go find your photos of this. This refinery is gone. Yeah. It caught on I mean this thing is a wreck they'll never get this thing back online. Take years.
3:50:42 But that's just a little... And you know, someone else sent me a note that there was a Marine that they caught a couple weeks earlier hanging around, a US Marine. And of course, you know, they started selling all of their oil and gas to China. And this is pretty much sabotage. I mean, I think to me, that's obvious. Yeah, I mean we got to get this guy offline and Venezuela has a lot. They got a lot of oil, a lot of gas and you know so you know what are you gonna do? Are you gonna say you can't get out of the ground? You just blow up the processing plant, blow up the storage, blow up the pipelines. This has CIA, State Department written all over it as far as I'm concerned. Yes, but it exemplifies what a bad refinery fire looks like.

Anyway, we sometimes work in hospitals and other healthcare facilities and the new contracts with some of those facilities require vaccinations for us. We do not want to get vaccinated, but everyone we have asked has said there's probably nothing we can do. Either get vaxxed or get a new job.

It's doing six miles an hour and just drenching everybody. I thought the double six on the sticks would work differently where people who were in drought scenarios would request a rain stick shot to help it rain where they are.

This weekend we were at one called Sprouts. They have this bin where you can buy organic salad mix in bulk. It's kind of a bring your own container thing. I think the point is to save the environment by eliminating extra packaging Who knows the point of my story is that I saw an employee just dumping the prepackaged salad mix into the bin They're trying to trick people into thinking they're buying bulk salad mix And he said you did great on Twit.

So he only needs one hot milk. He doesn't need any So let me just look at this an old-fashioned tradition in Canada and the United States bans the wearing of white after Labor Day I
4:09:33 Explanations for this tradition vary. The most common is that white is a summer color and Labor Day unofficially marks the end of summer. The rule may have been... Well, here it is. The rule may have been intended as a status symbol for new members of the upper and middle class in the 19th and 20th century. Uh-huh. It's an elitist thing. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. A linen jacket. Oh, okay. Because we, you know, us schmucks don't have that white linen jacket stuff. I have one. I don't wear it that much, but I have it. I had it made in Korea. I thought it was ironic in some way. So we got a couple of 48s. Can I thank these people? You want to name them? You want me to name them? You want to say thank you to these people?

4:13:08 But more importantly you will receive a No Agenda Night Ring. We are winding that program up. Not the night program, but we'll have new night accoutrements after 1212. If we're still alive at that point of course, which is always questionable. So I've got a couple clips from the convention that I want to run through. From the convention? Because I was going to go somewhere else, but yeah. You guys want to get the convention out of the way. At the end of the show you want to get out of the way? And when I want to do something good, you're going to be like, we ain't got no time, shorter. I never do that. Do we really have to listen to Paul Ryan?
4:13:49 I was good yeah okay all right at least but I don't want to listen to Paul Ryan now. I want you to listen to the governor of Puerto Rico when he gave his little speech and tell me it didn't sound insincere and sarcastic when he just tell me you'll hear it near the end where he's talking he's whispering in someone's ear and it sounds to me like Big brother being sarcastic. Just listen and tell me what you think. Allow me to share an example of that spirit. I visited a soldier from Puerto Rico at Walter Reed Army Medical Center several years ago. This young man had bravely served in combat and was given little chance to live. Without knowing if he could hear me, in every visit I would whisper into his ear,
4:14:43 Would tell him how proud and thankful we were for his dedication and sacrifice Adding not the ring does Now I don't understand. That's just the way he talks. I don't think that's all right. Did you really feel that? No, no, I think is I think it was his accent, but it sounded just like it's sarcasm well, what do you which and the reason I came to mind is because you're the one with this theory about Latins and the aspect of their sense of humor which is they don't understand irony. Yeah I think I think there is something to that but that is a language barrier more than and by the way it's very funny I just got a text message Twitter password reset code I mean someone's trying to reset my password on Twitter is that what's going on? Or that it's a spammer. Yeah well it's funny that I got it on my phone like an actual text message. It sounds like a spam. Let me so if
4:15:41 If you'll allow me to move away from this convention that no one gives a crap about and Paul Ryan who I personally don't care about but if you really want to hear it I'd be happy to listen to it. Well here's what I, well there's a couple things I can you know I can save this for further further What does it matter to a global audience? Does anyone give a crap about this guy? Yeah, well we have a lot of expats and our real audience is still US by 80% so you know, it's, you can't just... Oh, you are so mean! We've done... oh, okay. We need more international listeners. We could, if you want to not play the Ryan thing, which apparently you don't, I, you have to do me a favor at least playing the summary of the convention once again.
4:16:25 Okay, I absolutely agree with that. Here is the summary of the convention. Very good. So Brandon Raub, remember this name? Sounds familiar. He is the veteran who posted some things on his Facebook and then got taken away. So they hauled him off as an insane maniac. Right. He's just expressing his freedom of speech. Well, no, this is a clear and obvious setup. And I'm not quite sure what the thing is behind it. But he shows up on an interview on YouTube.
4:17:19 And the person interviewing him is John Whitehead. Now, John Whitehead is his lawyer, but he's not really a lawyer. He represents this institute which is making sure that we have, you know, that everything is constitutional. I think we talked about this on the last show. You know, they have, I don't know, like seven, eight hundred thousand dollars in donations. each year to what was the Rutherford Institute that's named rutherford.org and so for some reason after now Brandon is out and and he's sitting down with him he needs to have an interview which it makes no sense to me if you know if you've been arrested and poor put away under some specious law about mental illness in the state of Virginia they can pick you up
4:18:12 Mean you're gonna maybe fight that through the court system. You're not just gonna go and do a YouTube interview Doesn't that sound kind of weird to you John like that's not what a lawyer would recommend is the number one course of action I would agree with that thesis so I watched this 17 minutes. I pulled a couple clips I would like you to listen and tell me if this guy is not on a script, so here's the just Are you do you have a problem breathing? Just don't pay attention to the man behind the curtain. Someone who has basically been put through a horrific hell for at least a week, but we don't know how much more could be coming from the authority. Catch the phrase that gives it away. But first of all I want to talk to you a bit about your past, who you are. As I understand it, you're a veteran. You've been twice overseas. You're a Marine. Tell me a little bit about that. How did you wind up being a Marine?
4:19:06 And what tours did you serve and what did you do? Well, very specifically, I got out of high school in 2004 and I worked for a year and then looked at what was going on around the world and saw how my brothers and sisters were volunteering to go overseas. And I loved my country quite a bit, so I figured that I kind of had a place in that. And very specifically, it was actually I always knew that if I joined a service it would be the Marine Corps. Well, it sounds like it's probably scripted and the guy's promoting the Marine Corps. Well, he keeps saying very specifically. And he says very specifically. By the way, the interviewer opens up with a horrific hell as opposed to what other kind of hell are we talking about? But it's not an interviewer, that's his lawyer. That's my point. Wow, this is his lawyer? It's his lawyer.
4:20:07 lawyer doing the interview. This is my point. So now the lawyer's going to promise. It's totally scripted then I didn't know he's a lawyer. I missed that when you said it. I just went through five minutes of intro about John Whitehead being his lawyer. The representative. But I didn't know that. But you had it's you had me convinced that this YouTube thing was the first thing because you said his lawyer wouldn't recommend this. So I assumed that this was being done by someone else. I'm sorry I was unclear. Yes you were. This is his lawyer. This is his lawyer. And now his lawyer is going to prompt him because he can't remember the word metaphor. Metaphor. Well, very specifically, uh, by the way, don't you love that? He's always very specifically everything is very specifically. Yeah, this is law law lawyer speak. Thank you. Well, very specifically, uh,
4:20:54 The line that I posted on my Facebook wall was sharpen up my axe semicolon. I'm here to sever heads and what I actually meant was that this What we call a metaphor excuse me. Yes a metaphor exactly he forgot his line Yeah, but he says excuse me as if he knows he forgot his line apologizing now I had this video analyzed by some some of our listeners who are Marines and ex Marines and And they looked at this guy and they said, this guy is a douche. They would call him a 1369 and you'll have to Google that to figure out what that is. This guy is a total douchebag, particularly when it comes to him being a decorated Marine. I'll play the 30 second clip and then explain what's actually going on. I had a little bit of active combat. And what kind of active combat? You know, a firefight or two. Explosions going off. So your life was at risk.
4:21:52 Oh yeah, absolutely. Absolutely. So what did you actually... So you went to Afghanistan, you went to Iraq, you served over there as your decorated Marine. What does decorated Marine mean? Oh, I mean you probably have to look real specifically at the medals that I have. But basically, basically just that you have different medals or ribbons that signify different things that you've done. Okay, so you serve your honor... So you have... In other words, he's got those ribbons that say I was here. Yeah, exactly. It's like a wood chopping ribbon. So this is, you know, you get about 20, if you go through a couple of years, you get about 25.
4:22:32 metals or ribbons for doing certain things which are not necessarily equatable to a purple heart or an iron cross. They look very cute and so the Marines that I corresponded about and had watched this video now they think they're not sure what's going on I mean besides the fact that this guy is a douche He does not, there is some agenda behind this but I can't quite understand. Is it to show that the Marines are crazy? Is it like some kind of, I don't know. But this is not normal. This is not normal behavior for a lawyer to be pulling his client out and putting him on YouTube this way with this type of talk. I'm not going to argue with you but I can't figure out why they're doing it either.
4:23:28 So the kind of maybe a prelude to something else. Well, it kind of plays into I mean, if I just look at the list here, right, we have so the the four guys, the four assassins, yeah, fear, F e a r, the four assassins, Yeah, it's like right from a James Bond novel. Who apparently, you know, gave themselves up. You know, they were, well, you know, we killed some guy, but it was manslaughter. And his girlfriend, who apparently they were going to turn him in, so they killed him. Yeah. And so instead of having no charges or some terrorism charges would get dropped.
4:24:03 They got murder on their heads. This, the whole thing is really weird. It's just a bunch of douchebags. But it didn't catch any fire, you know, it didn't catch fire in the media like I think it was intended. No, I think this was the false flag that everyone was talking about. That was supposed to be, yeah, that it was supposed to be, uh, cause they say that he bought $87,000 worth of guns and things that go boom and it was going to go kill the president. Well there was more than that, there was that old laundry list of things they were going to do, culminating somehow in killing the president. But who screwed up? Somehow they screwed up on the message, it didn't get out the way they wanted it to. Some messaging, some, it's one of those things where I'm guessing,
4:24:42 We're gonna assume this is a bullshit deal. Yeah, and what is this picture that they've floating around all these guys against the gray background That's their PR picture for fear. No mugshot in the world's against the gray background They have a height thing and there's all kinds of things you do This is like very weird this gray background in the mugshot forever enduring always ready. Oh And then, you know, that's also... And then some phony baloney operation no one's ever heard of. This whole thing is bullcrap. But they must have let... My thinking is they left out a key, a key piece of messaging that they've just dropped the ball on, whatever it was, we don't know, obviously, it's just an assumption. They left out some key piece of messaging so when the thing continued on its merry way to becoming this scandal or something that was going to rock the country,
4:25:31 is like hey whoa whoa we left out oh geez we gotta start over now we gotta get some new guys oh man and there wasn't there was more though um there was a uh top naval officer who was planning to go rogue take an aircraft carrier to Iran right in the Strait of Hormuz and go and go blow him up without without you know without orders from Washington? This is not... how is that gonna work? I don't know, these are the stories. Why would anybody do that? Well I think somehow it has to show that
4:26:21 They're unhinged. They're unhinged, yeah, that they're crazy. And they're not, obviously, but they are the ones who understand tyranny. I mean, if you're really conspiratorial, you'd say, well, look, What we need to do is we need to demonize these guys. Didn't we in the past have this? Weren't the Vietnam veterans baby killers? What happened in the past? Yeah, but you have to wonder if that was coordinated or not because that just seemed like a natural... it wasn't. Apparently the government lost control of the situation. It was just the public bitching and moaning. And yeah, they got a bad reaction when they came. There was no celebrations of the Vietnam War.
4:27:04 for obvious reasons and I think that was a I don't think it was that was you know during an era where the control mechanism was not not as firm and entrenched as it is today. I mean everything you have to assume because of the everyone being co-opted and compromised that every single thing that's going on is extremely well coordinated and it's like a minute like you always call it the Ministry of Truth somewhere right is checking things out and telling people to shut up and you know some of it leaks out and we cover live and on our show but
4:27:39 But for the most part, it's pretty well locked down. It's a lot different than it was in the 60s and 70s. But here's what I'm seeing. Again, it's only white guys. There's no women. It's white guys, no Latinos, no African-Americans, just pure white guys with tattoos and who are crazy and they're veterans. That's the checklist. And if PTS, and you want to put D on that or not, post-traumatic stress, does that only affect white guys? Apparently, yes. I don't know. I have no idea. Don't you think that... We've been putting a lot of pieces together for a puzzle. We don't know what the image is. Well... It's like, you know, I say, well, this piece fits here, but I don't know what this thing is going to look like when it's put together. If I look at all the messaging
4:28:39 the way the totalitarian fascist state is going, it feels to me like all of this is supposed to create some kind of racial divide within our ranks as citizens of Gitmo Nation. That's the way it feels. You know, do we have this other thing at the... I'll tell you what, I'll make you a deal. Would you please play the Ryan the Ryan clips from the convention so that I can then play the really important clip from the convention. I'll let you play the really important clip. I don't need to play these Ryan clips. Are you sure? Yeah, because the deconstruction I'm going to do is not that interesting. But I have a further thing. I'm going to use these clips later because I've decided for the Sunday show, of course I make promises I never commit to. Right after the Scholastic special. I'm going to do that.
4:29:34 I'm writing this whole thing up as we speak. Oh yeah, oh that was something else we're going to talk about today. Here was the real news coming out of the convention. After we have the Yahoo News guy saying that the Romneys would be happy to have a party with black people drowning, we have this happening at the convention. The convention in Tampa, the truly shocking development occurred, one that hits home to all of us here at CNN. Two people were removed from this Republican National Convention yesterday after they threw nuts, peanuts, at an African-American CNN camera operator and said, and I'm quoting them now, this is how we feed animals. Now this begs some context because Wolf Blitzer says an African-American camera woman, he's drawing a connection between I guess some racial epitaph that this story is bullcrap.
4:30:38 Yeah, well break it down from here. This would never happen. Yeah, I don't think, yeah, okay. So this is more of what I'm talking about. We are being stirred up to be angry at each other. Where's the cameraman shooting the person throwing peanuts at him? Camera woman, camera woman. Camera woman, camera whatever. Where's the camera person taking a picture of this? He's got a camera, she's got a camera. You got a camera ladies, use it. Look what they did, they threw peanuts at me. Here's the video. And they called her an animal. This is a racial thing for sure. And by the way, they made it clear with the... I wanted to bring this up. The assassins, the four assassins, they out of the blue
4:31:25 find a picture of one of the guys as a page in the 2008 Republican convention. What? They take pictures of pages and document them four years earlier? Yeah, exactly. And that means... This is a bogus, this is the most bogus thing I saw in this report. As soon as I saw that, here is... This is, we think it's him, it's the exact same screwball name, a Gooey Gooey. You know, some crazy name that no one's ever seen or heard before. It's from Guam. All the Guamanians are named weird. He doesn't look Guamanian. Whatever the case is, Mr. Gooey Gooey, there was a coincidentally the same kind of Joe a Gooey Gooey over in the Republican National Convention as a page because we take pictures of all the pages and then we document who the guy's name is because you never know, could come in handy. I mean, that is so bogus.
4:32:14 Yeah, so this was very upsetting to me to see what is happening, and that's that's the only message I've got anymore is like don't Don't let yourself get riled up because this is this is where it's going. This is where we're headed It's this kind of stuff, and you know well There's more to the report because they ejected these two guys or whatever was the quote they shouted at this female camera operator who works here at CNN multiple witnesses observed this very ugly exchange and Republican National Committee security of police immediately removed the two people from the Tampa Bay Times Forum which is where we are right now. In fact, the convention statement says that I'm quoting now, two attendees tonight exhibited deplorable behavior. Their conduct was inexcusable and unacceptable. This kind of behavior will not be
4:33:04 tolerated uh... cnn issued a statement as well saying cnn can in fact confirm there was an incident directed at an employee inside the tampa bay times forum earlier this afternoon cnn worked with convention officials to address this matter and will have no further comment how about this for a further comment who were these two people and let's look at their background yeah i'd love to know who are for obama thank you i'd love to know who they are Yeah, no, there's no further comment needed. And by the way, it is by definition racist to say that this is horrible. So let's just take it from another perspective. If these guys are throwing peanuts at a white camera person and they say this is how we feed the animals, it's okay apparently.
4:33:53 But because it's a black or as Wolf Blitzer says African-American Automatically, there's a racial undertone there. I think that's in his head Maybe they're just talking about the mainstream media being animals like we call them douchebags all the time Yeah, well, there's not too many racial overtones with douchebag. No, but this is this is divided This is a hoax. Yeah divided we fall. Oh, but she's this is the only thing that I'm seeing on the tweeters. I
4:34:29 You know that and uh, ask Mitt Romney if he wears magic underwear. Which is apparently some- Yeah there's our uh, there's a, there's the discourse in the United States of America thanks to Twitter. Yeah. Oh no but it's highly intelligent people I know. Who are, who have sunk down to this level. Yeah, no you're right. They moan about that and they have a bunch of issues that they can't get out of their system and they giggle. Yeah, but this is the... John, we've already figured out this is because of the totalitarian fascist state that people are in. And the only way to let that out is to call people names on Twitter. And that's good, I guess.
4:35:19 No, it's not. It's not? It's not good? It's not good. Well, I can... You got a problem with the society. It's just go do... learn to paint. Do some art. There was a... this is funny. In the Soviet Union, the Nazi Germany, some of the great art emerged during a totalitarian period. Polish posters, for God's sake. Anyway. The Wall Street Journal. They have a bond expert and I guess the municipal bond market is so crap that they have to talk about something else. She was talking about if you feel really down. This whole video, it was like 10 minutes of her talking about how you can lift yourself up.
4:35:58 On the Wall Street Journal. Listen to it a little bit. You say there are tangible things we can do to kind of rewire... These are two women on the Wall Street Journal talking about pepping yourself up so you don't feel so down. ...our brains to act this way if this just doesn't come naturally to us, if we're people who, you know, look at the glass half empty as opposed to the glass half full, what would you suggest? Sure, and so that's interesting. The research shows you can really change your perspective in the moment. And again, this is so important. So what you want to do when you start going down that path of self-criticism, you want to stop yourself. You literally can tell yourself, stop. Stop self. Hello self. Stop self. Stop. Stop.
4:36:38 I'm not doing this and then I asked a lot of people for tricks that they use and they were so interesting one woman writes all of her passwords are self affirmations like you look this is the best one here's how you do it here's how you do it great today you're beautiful do good work this is what your password should be This is the Bond woman at the Wall Street Journal. Your password should be, you are beautiful. Oh, interesting. One woman writes, all of her passwords are self affirmations. Like you look great today. You're beautiful. Do good work. So every. That's fantastic. Facebook, computer, everything. That's fantastic. What a genius idea.
4:37:17 This is the kind of feel-good, new age bull crap that's been propagated for the last 30 years in this country. Now it's come down to this. Self-affirmation passwords. On the Wall Street Journal. Yeah, well, hey, what can I tell you? Self-affirmation passwords. The only other thing I really had is I, there was some people got in touch with me about the generics bill. that we talked about the other day. And I found out that it's really much deeper than you realize. If you look at the generic pharmaceutical association, all of these companies have generic pharmaceutical companies alongside of them.
4:38:14 I didn't realize this. So Merck and Pfizer, they all have companies with other names like, what is it, Mylan I think it is. And they just sell the generic version of the pharmaceutical drug. And they are actually the ones lobbying. This is where it gets so funny. They're saying, oh yeah, we need this. We need these high user fees, these $300 million fees. We need that. You know, to make sure that all the generic stuff is safe. But these guys are paid and part and parcel of the big brands. They're just posing as generics, which effectively leaves, you know, the Curry Dvorak Pharma Consulting Group, where we intended to make the five cent Viagra alternative, we can't afford the fees.
4:39:06 Yes, to lock out the competitors. Yeah, but I had no idea that there were these really big... Yeah, most of them like Merc and all these big companies, they make most of the generics. Yeah, but they sell them on their different... Oh yeah, they got little companies that sell them. I didn't know that. That was completely new to me. Like, oh, okay. Because I... It makes sense if you think about it. Well, they actually had a little video... That's why I think, by the way, I'm almost convinced that a lot of these clone inks for your printer... Yeah, or just the same company. Yeah. Yeah. Or like the fake Chanel handbags. Yeah. So here's a little bit of their video of where they're at. You might as well make money on both ends of the deal. I agree. If somebody's going to buy the clone ink, whether you like it or not, you might as well be selling it to them. I agree. I totally agree. On average, only two of every 10 new drugs approved by the FDA will ever earn revenues that exceed average research and development costs. Revenues that are needed to support the cost of many drug candidates that don't make it and to fund future R&D projects.
4:40:06 Generics on the other hand have very low research costs because they are approved by the FDA based on the research done by the company that developed the original brand drug. They're stealing from us. They're cheating. They don't pay any money for R&D. Yeah, like you didn't make billions and billions and billions and billions of dollars and that then and also Take a look at your history and see what the patent thing was all about to begin with. This kind of propaganda is disgusting. I liked your analysis in, what's that, Market Watch? About the Samsung Sam Apple suit. That was in PC Magazine. Oh, that was good. I like that. Where you said basically Apple lost. Yeah. Hold on a second. John C. DeMorak, you are awesome.
4:40:55 Yeah, Apple lost. You want to explain why they lost? I love it. I love your... Well, it was a billion dollars it's gonna exchange but it's worth more than a billion dollars to Samsung and all the other Android makers for that matter because all this case proved was that there's... they're the same. The whole case was about this iPhone is the same as a Samsung. or the Samsung phone is the same as an iPhone and therefore they're stealing from us. But they went on and on and they overdid it. They went to the point where they had Susan Care come on and testify that she had a Samsung phone and swore on the stack of Bibles that it was an Apple iPhone. This is putting the wrong message out there. The Apple iPhone now is not special. It's the same as a Samsung phone so you're gonna make a decision at the end of the day, yeah they're gonna change a few icons but it's still gonna be the same. The end of the
4:41:43 Today when you go into the store to buy one of these phones and the Samsung phone is half the price of the iPhone, what are you going to do? It's the same thing. I'll just buy the cheap one. It's a huge blunder. I do not understand why they did that. It's just the hubris of Apple. They always sue everybody. They've been lawsuit happy since the days of the Apple II and they can't get it out of their system. They should have shut up and just bitched and moaned a little bit. That billion dollars is money well spent by Samsung to have this outcome and they still might not have to pay it. The damage is done. So just to recap on that, which was a beautiful diatribe, because the lawsuit essentially says they're the same, it was a billion dollar marketing campaign by Samsung, money well spent. Yeah. Fantastic.
4:42:34 By the way, I both mentioned that column that this is this is a parallel of what happened to the mp3 world when mp3s first came out in the 90s nobody was just have students were using them and it was the RIAA that kept drawing attention to mp3s more and more attention This is stealing music wait a minute. It's not even the same format as an mp3 it must be the same I mean then they kept suing and losing and winning and suing and losing and winning and it was just like oh went from nobody knew what an mp3 was to everybody knowing what an mp3 is. How is that a good idea? Thanks for the promo everybody. So anyway, that's my argument. Yeah, no I like it. Nobody else took that argument. Well no of course not.
4:43:21 I think I listened to hours of analysis by non-practicing lawyers. I think they know what they're talking about. Your analysis is without a doubt the best analysis in the universe all part and parcel of... I would agree. Now walk us out of here. What do you got? You want to play? Come on man, do something. Don't make me play the summary again. Okay, well what do we go with you ask and we get the Puerto Rico? Oh, yeah, okay? This would be the last one so I'm watching the NHK which is Japanese TV and you guys you know I'm spending all my time watching these foreign stuff now don't they make spark plugs NHK NHK which is the Japanese Nippon something or other and
4:44:07 It says it has it in for Romney but they have it in for Obama. I don't know why but the Japanese government supported station essentially is pro Romney to such an extreme that they're, it's like just wearing it on their sleeves. Just listen to this little snippet from a longer report that just goes on and on about how great Romney is. Romney has worked for years toward the nomination but many Americans still wonder what he stands for. NHK World's Matt Field has more from Tampa. Mitt Romney says he has the experience to lead something he says President Barack Obama has not led, an economic recovery. So we'll get this economy going again with more jobs and more take-home pay. Voters four years ago bought Obama's promises of change. But Republicans and Democrats remain divided.
4:45:05 and the jobless rate is stuck above 8 percent. People who did vote for him are just as disappointed as anyone else. I don't see any tax breaks coming my way, so it's been tough, tough four years. Romney rebuilt company after company as the chief executive of Bain Capital. And he led the organizing committee for the 2002 Winter Olympics. Okay, couple things. First of all, They need to fire their editor, unless that was you. Unless you were- No, no, you talking about the dead air? Ah, this sucks, it blows. They have like a gate on or something, so when the guy stops talking it goes to dead silence. Okay. This is some Japanese technology. Question number two. Who is this broadcast for? It's not in Nipponese.
4:45:55 So this is meant to propagandize Americans? Who was watching this? Who was the intended audience of NHK? In this regard, in the English version, it's for... Like Singapore? It's for Americans who are interested in Japan or they have something to do with Japan and probably some expats and I don't know. I have no idea what the marketing. Weird. Completely weird. But this thing, especially when they clip to the two people, instead of having a balanced report, first they say, well, and they use the term Americans bought into. Yeah, it's a good term. That's a loaded one. I think, wow, this is, when I heard bought into, I'm thinking, well, this sounds like
4:46:34 This is a propaganda piece. Then they had two people bitching and they didn't have anybody on the other side. It wasn't balanced in the least. So what is going on that this would happen in the first place and why is it being done? What is the Japanese, what's their beef? They got a complaint? What is it? I'd like to know. Apparently. Well, maybe we're not doing the right job with the Sakuku Islands. Don't know. I don't know there's something going on knowing this. This is a this was a Hit piece on Obama. Yeah, and it was done for a reason and it wasn't it just I somebody's who listened to that who's got some Japanese connection It's gonna have some idea about what's gonna have to tell us what the heck's going on with the Japanese and Obama by the way I was not far off its in GK spark plugs you think I'm crazy right I
4:47:25 But there are NGK spark plugs are big. Yeah, I didn't think you're crazy. I thought it was a funny line. I actually meant it. It was not meant as humor. Sorry, didn't mean to disappoint you. Okay, so I will go to the optometrist. Opticians? What is it? No optometrists. Opticians are just... fits you for glasses. No, no. I have to have new... You should go to an ophthalmologist, actually. What is that? What do they do? It's a doctor who can not only see what the hell's the deal is, he can give you drugs. Do you have any good drugs? I don't need any drugs, man. I'm smoke-free! I'm drug-free! And, uh... But it's just now I'm a little blind. That's, uh... We'll work on that.
4:48:10 So on Sunday, we'll talk about SALT, we'll have an analysis of Paul Ryan, and the Scholastic episode. That's fantastic, I don't even have to show up. Yeah, no you don't. Coming to you from the capital of the drone star state here in Austin, Tejas. Good morning everybody, my name is Adam Curry. And from northern Silicon Valley where we missed out on getting the convention, I'm John C. Dvorak. We will talk to you again on Sunday right here on No Agenda. The best podcast in the universe!
