Associative Propaganda

00:00 I did my part, I texted 1010 and my ten bucks went over there and went in somebody's pockets. Adam Curry, John C. Dvorak. It's Thursday, September 19, 2013, time for your Gitmo Nation Media Assassination episode 549er. This is no agenda. Accepting all ELF transmissions from the middle of the record. the wrecking balls on sunset boulevard in hollywood in the people's republic of southern california in the morning everybody i'm adam curry and from northern silicon valley i feel for you i'm john c devorah you should feel for me it's it's not exactly you know nice not being in the studio hanging out in la 95 degrees hollywood starlets whoo yeah who all speak russian

00:50 This whole place, so we're on Sunset Boulevard, John. I'm here for a meeting on Friday and of course because of the show and everything it makes no sense to try and you can't actually get a flight from Austin to Los Angeles after we're done with the show on Thursday so he came out a day early. You think they'd have better flights? To San Francisco yeah but not to Los Angeles. There's just no reason to connect Austin to Hollywood apparently. It makes no sense. So we're out here and you know we used to live in in in Hollywood and in the Hollywood Hills and So, you know, we're walking around on sunset and we haven't been here and what has it been like a year a little less? Maybe something around a year

01:38 And everything is being torn down, everything is empty, they're trying rent for rent, lease, all the strip malls all along Sunset. They're literally tearing everything down. And everyone here speaks Russian. That's all that it is. The whole place is in shambles. I was just there recently. I didn't notice all this activity. Well, where were you staying? um... downtown well downtown is thriving downtown l a is where it's happening this is appear in hollywood it's it's completely falling apart and i stand really john everybody's eat you walk on the street we just walked from you know from uh... where we're staying uh... to uh... uh... h and m to be quite honest is the cheap clothing store which is great because they have our sizes and affordable prices

02:31 And you walk past everyone on the street, they're all speaking Russian, all the cab drivers are Russian. I was in the cab the other day, I kid you not, the guy, the driver was on FaceTime on his iPhone with a Russian hooker and I could see her. I could see her sitting there on the bed. And he was just talking to her the whole time, like what is going on in this town? That's odd. It was disturbing because it was like one of those things where I couldn't take my eyes off of it. But I didn't want him to look in the rear view mirror and see me ogling his Russian hooker. It was like she's sitting there in the bra and panties and with her legs up. It was weird.

03:14 Are you sure you're really there for some meeting? Yes, Miss Mickey's even here to make sure keep an eye on me. Well, let me just say that I think you've been busted. By whom? Me. Okay, well... Wait a minute. Don't you get... I want you to deny That this is you doing some, I guess, moonlighting, doing some show play that play the clip and tell me this isn't you. Gold show intro. Gold show intro. Okay. What is this? My name is Adam. Though many of you know me as adult film producer Seymour Butz. You might remember me and my loved ones from the reality series Family Business.

03:57 Welcome to our new show. Come on, drop that gold boys. Gold show. Gold show. Gold show. That's right. We're back bitches. Oh man, what is this airing on? This is so cool. This is you. That's why I'm here. We're doing another 13 series, episodes in the series. I wish I was Mr. Seymour Butz. And by the way, you might as well play this little clip here which kind of proves it to me, which is the Adam Show recipe for success. Someone's getting cornhole today. Sounds like a recipe for success to me. Wait a minute, this is going in the evergreens. John, the question is, okay, maybe I'm busted, but what are you doing finding this stuff? I have my sources.

04:57 Oh boy, well it does actually kind of nicely... It sounds exactly like you and the guy looks like you. Tall lanky guy. Everything looks exactly like you except you've got some sort of thing... It looks as though he took some sort of... New skin or something put it around his eyes and let it dry. So he's got these really old Beat-up eyes, but except for the eyeballs nice. This is you that's right. That's me You got me. I'm busted nothing more I can say other than Even have a coin sound effect you use one of our sound effects. I know and the show's called what is it gold? Oh

05:41 I forgot. Yeah, that makes total sense. It's my gold show. Ah well, there you go. Thanks for showing up everybody. Nice to have you here. Anyway, so back to LA. Yeah. Bunch of Russians, they're ripping apart Sunset Strip. Completely. It's really bad. Yeah, and traffic sucks. You're taking cabs which makes it even more ludicrous. Why don't you rent the car? No, we rented a car, but Mickey had the car. And I just needed to go to... I thought just down the street, you know, it should have been no more than a 10-minute cab ride, but the traffic of course is horrendous. I don't understand why people live here. I really don't. We landed, as we're coming in for the landing, you could see... well actually, you almost couldn't see downtown Los Angeles through the smog.

06:33 Oh yeah, well this is the time of year where you have the inversion layer. Right, but that was not just inversion, that was inversion plus. Plus all kinds of crap that was just laying in there. It was really... Well the inversion layer creates a dome, which I believe is similar to under the dome. And the dome just gets filled up with crap, whatever's inside the dome. Right, it just gets trapped in there. Well, it was not pretty to look at. Alright, so anyway, what else did you see down there? Well, we had dinner with with Frank Karachi I don't know who this is. Yeah, you do. He's he's the he's the big-time Hollywood director Frank Karachi. Yeah, he's done all the Adam Sandler movies. Oh I should have known this. Yeah, and he did all the the Kevin James here comes the boom and the was the talking animal zoo thing and

07:27 And he just wrapped up a movie in South Africa with the reunited... Drew Barrymore, Adam Sandler reunited for the new movie whatever. So I got a lot of good insight into who's strung out on coke and who's drunk all the time. I got valuable information. Very valuable information. Well no, I was gonna say before you even ask for it I'm always saying hey you know whenever you need someone to die in some horrific manner If you need heads chopped off spewing body parts, you know, John and Adam are your guys And he always says the same thing. Fuck you curry. Yeah I'm sure that's not what he said. No, but at least I have a SAG card so I could actually be up for it So, you know, what's get a SAG card if they hire you if you have it only if it's a speaking role Yeah, well, what about screaming?

08:30 Yeah, that counts. I think so, yeah. That counts. That counts. So anyway, what you find out that was of interest to our show listeners. I'm not allowed to tell about any of that. He'll never talk to me again. uh... and i'm sorry i guess we just tease the audience thanks very much i'm just teasing the audience on that uh... they're really there's nothing there's nothing to find out here is saying you know where we've been here for two days i think we're already like okay you know can we get over with you know it's nice to see friends and hook up but this is not a lot happening here maybe downtown but there's nothing going on in hollywood that i can tell so i would have what i do of course is then spend all my time in the in the room watching c-span scanning all the channels

09:14 And I have a request from, because you walk around Hollywood, you hook up with your old friends and they really have no idea what I'm doing. They don't understand. They don't understand the no agenda life, they don't understand the no agenda analysis. Give them a disc. No, I'm not going to give them a disc. And here's what they all said. They said, You know, Adam's tweets and his followers and the things he retweets is really weird. How come when we have this national day of tragedy, when twelve people have been killed, how come everyone's tweeting Adam with things like, yeah, nailed it, way to go, six week cycle, awesome, you guys rock. I'm like, you know, maybe we should consider toning it down just a little bit. Nah.

10:05 I hadn't even thought about that. I'm like, yeah, that's actually... that's kind of a point there. You guys called it. Yeah, well we did. I mean, it's almost to the day. And if you look at it, I think we were talking about how people were going to get bored with Syria and already, of course no one's talking about chemical weapons right now. So that's been moved off the table, which pushes the snow job down to third place. So it's just another stack of stuff that will never be talked about eventually. I mean, Glenn Greenwald must be hitting his head against the wall. No one's paying attention to Glenn anymore.

10:45 Yes, at the moment. This is true. So there's a couple interesting things about the Navy Yard. You think? Well let me, before you say anything... Yeah, why don't you go on with your little thesis and then I have a few clips and I have a thought or two. Well hold on, who said I have a little thesis? I might have a really... Well, I figure you're traveling, you're not going to be loaded up to the gills. Right. Well, I have some thoughts. Now, first of all, I do want to go back to Sandy Hook. Even what came before Sandy Hook? Aurora? No, Newtown. No, that Sandy Hook was Newtown. Oh, yeah, I got to get my list out. Yeah, the school was Sandy Hook. It was in Newtown.

10:05 I hadn't even thought about that. I'm like, yeah, that's actually... that's kind of a point there. You guys called it. Yeah, well we did. I mean, it's almost to the day. And if you look at it, I think we were talking about how people were going to get bored with Syria and already, of course no one's talking about chemical weapons right now. So that's been moved off the table, which pushes the snow job down to third place. So it's just another stack of stuff that will never be talked about eventually. I mean, Glenn Greenwald must be hitting his head against the wall. No one's paying attention to Glenn anymore.

10:45 Yes, at the moment. This is true. So there's a couple interesting things about the Navy Yard. You think? Well let me, before you say anything... Yeah, why don't you go on with your little thesis and then I have a few clips and I have a thought or two. Well hold on, who said I have a little thesis? I might have a really... Well, I figure you're traveling, you're not going to be loaded up to the gills. Right. Well, I have some thoughts. Now, first of all, I do want to go back to Sandy Hook. Even what came before Sandy Hook? Aurora? No, Newtown. No, that Sandy Hook was Newtown. Oh, yeah, I got to get my list out. Yeah, the school was Sandy Hook. It was in Newtown.

11:31 It's okay. No, no, I thought this over time about the oh, yeah, right. Yeah, Sandy Hook equals Newtown We already said or I think one of the one of the thesis we discussed was that this was going to be a war Goodbye, love Enjoy you look hot you look LA hot. All right, sorry This was going to be not just see at the studio doing the gold show Get those girls in line This was not just going to be an attack on guns and ammo, etc. But I think we coined it the war on crazy. And here it is. It doesn't get much better than this. When you want to go off and talk about crazy, in fact I have the

12:22 I think the BBC did it best when they broke in with their special coverage. for a serious mental illness, apparently hearing of voices. The police Tuesday obviously now ruled out any other suspect. Now let me tell you, I hear voices in my head all the time. I mean is this now a serious illness? Is the BBC, do they have confirmed reports from psychologists and psychiatrists? And you know this comes from some VA hospital and apparently anyone can share your records at the drop of a hat and everybody knows everything about you. And when you really start to trace back this story, I mean there's and in combination with the plethora of producers that we have who either are former Navy Yard employees

13:23 Or were there when it happened and I'll be sharing a couple of the emails with you today. This is a very interesting case. This is nothing like we've seen before starting off with the fact no three names. Yeah, there was there is the one connection that I think we've seen before and that is he was being treated for insomnia. Well, that's... And that brings Ambien into the picture. Yeah, yeah, Ambien. Did you see the most recent Reddit on Ambien? No. Oh, there's seen... apparently there is an entire Reddit and lots of people suffer from shopping on Amazon while on Ambien.

14:11 Because of the one click and it's it's fantastic people would you know all of a sudden they have boxes of stuff showing up where they've ordered ice skates They apparently Amazon was recommending to them and this is like a real thing people are Shopping on Amazon. Well, well, they should be sleeping on ambient. Oh Wow. Yeah. Link in the show notes. You won't regret it. So this might be a good reason to spy on you, find out what your pharmaceutical needs are. I mean, you might be buying them through Amazon. And then if that's the case, they flip a switch and boom,

14:51 They just start sending you stuff and then they claim that you are an ambient. Yeah, how about that? Yeah, although just about everyone who's had this, you know, Amazon has a pretty good return policy. If you say like, oh someone, you know, access my computer and you know, you can pretty much return anything. They'll even take returns without charging you for it. Like giving you free shipping and stuff. That's a good theory. It wasn't nice, but no I think Amazon makes enough money. I don't think they need to scam you scam you in that manner But before you know we get into the whole You know voices in your head thing you know a number of things wrong it started off right off the bat almost with this You know kind of disturbing mistake

15:36 Leon, earlier today some media outlets were tweeting out that the shooter was a man named Raleigh Chance. He lives here in this house behind me on Temple Drive in Stafford. Apparently his ID was found at the scene next to the shooter. While those reports turned out to be false, we now know the shooter was a man from Texas who apparently got into the Navy Yard facility using someone else's ID. Now how Raleigh Chance is involved in all this is still very much a mystery, but I can tell you the FBI has been out here all day. So, you know, this to me this is right off the bat, you know, everyone's locked up, no one's allowed to leave their office, they were kept in their offices for hours until they were finally allowed to come out with their hands up, I might add, before being interviewed by the FBI, then finally being shuttled on a bus over to the stadium.

16:30 How does one even find an ID that some other guy just happened to drop right next to the body? I mean, this smells of bogativeness right off the bat. Well, they discussed this phenomenon on Charlie Rose. There was a senior producer there. You might as well play this as more background, a Navy Yard misidentify clip. Hold on a second. Yeah, I got it. Play. But the details are always going to change. One of the curveballs we faced yesterday was this individual was found after he was killed with identification belonging to another individual.

17:14 who was also Navy personnel, when they locked down that guy's house for a search warrant, they said anybody coming in and out detained them for questioning, that individual, who was thought to be the dead gunman, rolled into the driveway and they said, who are you? And he gave his name and they thought, well this is odd. The same thing happened. This is odd, you're alive, how does this work? In a new town where the shooter was carrying his older brother's ID, they went to the older brother's house and then when they encountered him they thought well how could he be the shooter if he's here and he's supposed to be there so you see these things but during the incidents how it goes on yeah that's an interesting coincidence too so we have that bit let me see then the one that was confirmed and I have multiple emails of people who were in the building

18:11 people who are listening to radio communications while inside the building and outside the building confirmed what is being said here in one of the first press conferences. As rumors and reports swirled of multiple gunmen. The big concern for us right now is that we potentially have two other shooters that we have not located at this point. So what I heard and what our own producers have been sending to me Is that there was, uh, there were two in the building trying to shoot people out while one on the top floor or on the roof of the building was picking them off. And this of course has, you know, disappeared. And this was very similar to Newtown. Remember, in Newtown also there was talk of multiple shooters. Right, there was. By the way, that, uh, the spokes-spokeswoman for the, um, what is it, um, what is she, what department is she with? With the blonde hair?

19:10 I'm sorry? Yeah, the police spokeswoman who's doing all the talking. She's with the blonde hair. Yeah, she was with the city police, wasn't she? Yeah, I don't know. Is she with the police? Yeah. Yeah. She's kind of foxy in kind of a Rubenesque way. Here's an interesting thing that got me is that BBC, of course, loves this story because it shows, you know, the violence of Americans. They did an exclusive piece on how The SWAT team was told to stand down. Did you hear this? Yeah, the FBI were in very quickly, which kind of makes no sense really. I also read that they were bringing in the same BATF team who were in Boston. That was another report. And then they told the local SWAT team to stand down. If you're going to go with this thinking, I think it's

20:10 I think it's possible that the SWAT team was brought in to shoot a bunch of people. Yeah, yeah possible, but unlikely. I think that, well, I want to hear what your takeaway is and then I do have some thoughts. Well, wait a minute. There's one more thing we need to add to it. One more piece, which I think is coincidence more than anything, but it does work out very nicely for their narrative. Well, a lot of civilians, they purchase them because what you have is that a lot of times different fractions glorify an AR-15 or an automatic rifle. If you look at the games like Black Ops or Call of Duty,

20:53 We have our children playing these games and it's glorified to see in the graphics of the game where people are being blown to bits. So if you've seen this as a child and you're growing up, then you think that there's glory in this. Just as well when we talk to kids when they see me, they say, oh, you've been shot seven times. You know, you're like 50 cent. No, I'm not. Bullets hurt. Yeah. So there's that issue too, by the way, which was the reports of the AR-15, when it was all accounts, it's just the guy with a shotgun with lots of shells. Well, so there's the guy with a shotgun, it's the Remington, which is pump action, takes seven shells.

21:33 uh... but of course they're saying that what he did is he went in he shot one or two police guards took their uh... handguns and was killing people with the handguns well there is a clip there's a clip i have on it from anderson cooper of the of an eyewitness supposedly sitting right in the main cubicle area where the guy first he hears the shots and then the guy comes into that area and starts pounding away with his very loud shots And he claims that he heard at least 40 shots and maybe more 40 shots maybe more none. them anything other than a shotgun. Instead of help he's shot dead by a police officer did race play a role? We begin though tonight with breaking news chilling new details about the gun the Navy Yard shooter used in Monday's massacre. According to a federal law enforcement official the killer apparently etched or carved two phrases into the shotgun one saying quote my elf weapon the other saying quote better off this way and

22:30 And I'm glad you got this because I saw this mentioned several times on the news yesterday. I'm here in the room and I'm like, how am I? I can't record this because I don't have all my gear with me. Do these people not know that ELF is an acronym or do they really believe like this is a gun that is like that elves make or that little green men walk around? I mean, why are they mispronouncing clearly what is ELF as in extremely low frequencies? I have no idea. That's the first thing I thought of. You mean elves? No, the extremely low frequencies. The guy, the guy record says it, everybody says he was insane and he was spending a lot of time saying his hearing things and then he was claiming that they were transmitting to him, right? Yes.

23:20 Duh. Right. This is why I don't understand why, why certainly Anderson Cooper who worked for the CIA before he went to CNN, he should certainly know what ELF stands for. And I think this whole thing is some kind of wet wire op. Whether the guy had something implanted or not is almost irrelevant. Although it kind of distracts from the ELF. The ELF is up to like a hundred hertz. uh... and so that those of the extremely low frequencies you know what frequencies are used uh... in many cases to communicate with submarines who are under water

23:57 This is not exactly how you get voices into your head and when the guy's talking about microwaves, because I think that's what that's the quote that I read is when he was in the Ramada Inn somewhere. It's like, hey man, they're talking in my head. They're doing it through microwave. So microwave of course is not ELF, but that does work. And I've dubbed it mind casting. I even tried to get mindcasting.com like wow, I could be the godfather of mind casting, but I guess that's not going to work. uh... and there's a patent for this uh... patents uh... four eight seven seven zero two seven which i'd i'd presumed means it kind of works and they can do this uh... through a parabolic antenna you can uh... theoretically do it from a satellite you can actually since send away this is why you have to wear tinfoil hat you can actually send this talking into someone's head this way you keep the promise satellite ish it's too broad bits

24:57 it's not going to be focused enough. Well, we don't know what satellites they're shooting up there, so we don't know exactly what kind of technology there is, but you could do it from a parabolic antenna from, you know, not too far away. And so why else would this guy I mean it this is the problem people have been talking about The implants about hearing voices in their head Hearing music in their head although I hear that a lot So I'm already starting to worry like maybe they're just running the test tape on me You know like you know just put put curry on the loop. You don't even seem to know you're in this gold show exactly I'm doing

25:35 And you know and people scoff at this and laugh at it until you know someone gets activated and it's yeah well You know and maybe this other guy this Raleigh chance Maybe he also was activated or he was supposed to be activated or he was a handler I mean, you don't just lose your ID You know and by the way what all black people look alike now, so they pick up the ID like oh, that's him I mean come on. That's bullcrap I mean that's in fact that's racially insensitive if anything. You don't even know the other guy was black do we? Yes he's black and looks nothing like Alexis. And by the way there is a porn angle to this whole Alexis thing. Of course you need to know that those of us in the business are all you know very big fans of Alexis from Texas.

26:29 Hi everyone, I'm Alexis Texas. As you all may know, stay tuned for AlexisTexas.com. This is her free trailer which you can get on AlexisFromTexas.com. And let me tell you, she's talented. Are you able to hear this? Yeah. Okay good. I just want you to hear the good bits here. There we go. Yeah! Anyway. I think that they're just, you know, this is just having fun with us now. Yeah, it's Alexis from Texas. Heh heh. Heh heh. That's a great name. So, you said something interesting. You said those of us in the business. Yeah, I said that specifically because you now believe I am Seymour Butts. Okay. Just getting that to make sure. So, I don't like being the crazy guy. Certainly not this early on in the show.

27:27 But we're missing a whole bunch of things. We're missing a middle name, we're missing a motive, we're missing Facebook postings, we're missing a manifesto, we're missing a real combat background, you know, somehow that, you know, we've got all kinds of Jabroni's who pop up and there's quotes and there's just stuff that's being dredged up from God knows where like oh he had PTSD from helping people at you know during 9-11 Maybe he was pissed off because he did some wires wrong. No, this was in my opinion. This was an activation Probably to see how people would react in the in the in the in the capital in the in the seat in the seat of power and

28:11 to see if everyone would, you know, cower in the corner, do as you're told, and I think it was quite successful. Yep. I mean, do you have any other explanation? Nothing seems to fit. In fact, the guy who was on Cooper, who said it was only a shotgun, He described how he hid under his desk and the whole thing is quite interesting. Yeah, I have... Here we go. This may be from Cooper. Where's this from? Let me see. ...staying on lockdown for more than six hours. Survivors told to hide in place. Hide in place! Some barricading themselves in top-secret secure closets. Others under their desks. What are these top-secret secure closets they speak of?

28:59 This I was this is first I've heard of that. Yeah, they mentioned it a couple times on ABC So I guess that's like a safe room for some reason called top secret safe top secret close secure closets But you know cower in the corner on lockdown for six hours yet We have all this information coming out and of course, it's immediately picked up by you know by you know, the people the usual suspects Feinstein and of course Pierce Morons all over the place. It seems like you never see Pierce Moron on television until this happens and then like his shows on all the time. Is that just my imagination? Are they repeating the thing the whole time?

29:40 It's really strange. Also, Cooper, I haven't seen Cooper on TV in a while. There he is. He's interviewing people, the victims, family. So this whole thing is brought into the not just we need more background checks, which by the way, if you have a military facility, you kind of would be thinking that there'd be, you know, kind of checks and balances and you know, for someone who gets some kind of clearance that you'd kind of know certain things if it really was all that important to you. Here's Hegel and Dempsey uh... just bumbling and floundering through questions from the press about any potential red flags we should have seen well obviously uh... there were a lot of red flags as you noted uh... why they didn't get picked up why they didn't get incorporated into the clearance process what he was doing uh... those are all uh... legitimate questions that uh... we're going to be dealing with how do we fix it

28:59 This I was this is first I've heard of that. Yeah, they mentioned it a couple times on ABC So I guess that's like a safe room for some reason called top secret safe top secret close secure closets But you know cower in the corner on lockdown for six hours yet We have all this information coming out and of course, it's immediately picked up by you know by you know, the people the usual suspects Feinstein and of course Pierce Morons all over the place. It seems like you never see Pierce Moron on television until this happens and then like his shows on all the time. Is that just my imagination? Are they repeating the thing the whole time?

29:40 It's really strange. Also, Cooper, I haven't seen Cooper on TV in a while. There he is. He's interviewing people, the victims, family. So this whole thing is brought into the not just we need more background checks, which by the way, if you have a military facility, you kind of would be thinking that there'd be, you know, kind of checks and balances and you know, for someone who gets some kind of clearance that you'd kind of know certain things if it really was all that important to you.

30:41 he was never charged, he was arrested and uncharged. I know, that's again part of the complications but what I understand though, it was passed on. to different officials. But to go beyond that without any more facts, I don't want to do that. But obviously, when you go back in hindsight and look at all this, there were some red flags. Of course there were. And should we have picked them up? Why didn't we? How could we have? All those questions need to be answered. I think this will be scrutinized a great deal, and until I understand

31:18 You know the outcome of the investigation I can't render judgment about whether it was a red flag or just something that flew beneath the radar. Hey way to go guys! Red flag or something just flew beneath the radar. They didn't know John. I think they were not in on it. You know who has this this remote neural monitoring capability though? There is one agent at NSA. If you if you really look into And I think that's the term, RNM, remote neural monitoring, and I believe that a part of that is the activation piece. This is all NSA. There's been a couple lawsuits from people against the NSA for doing this, but this is all part of their surveillance really.

32:03 Now I know that our, even our very own brain professor, Dr. Russ, went on Twitter and said that he does, he believes there's a pretty, it's pretty much all hype, this, you know, monitoring brain waves to see if you know, if you have, if you're thinking of pre-crime, etc. But he's just not in the know on this stuff. I mean, this is, this is, you know, you got to have a top secret closet for this stuff. Well, whatever the case is, it is, yeah, it's different than all the other ones we've had. Any thoughts from you? No, I'm 100% with you on this, except for the brain transmissions. I think that's, I don't know. But I think there's a lot of different ways to set somebody to trigger something like this. Well, there's tons of ways to, you know, for, well, I was actually thinking maybe it was a binary type thing.

32:59 And this is what I learned from you when you have it, you know a binary trigger mechanism. So maybe it is Something embedded deeply in For instance black ops, you know or a call it call of duty So if you know and if you're playing the video game, I think there's a lot of stuff getting into your if you ever watched What is it? Stitch what's it called that that website where you can watch people playing video games? No, I I think it's Stitch on the chat room, we'll know. It's Switch or Stitch. Yeah, and so you'll see a little video sometimes, not always, but a little webcam of whoever's playing the game and then you're watching their screen as they play and then there's a chat box next to it. I mean, there's a lot going on. I'm not a gamer.

33:45 But there's a lot going on in these games and there's a lot of scenarios and things that are being put into your head. Add to that a special ambient dose or any other psychotropic drug, and I don't think it would be very hard at all to get someone to basically flip. I kind of like the remote activation via parabolic antenna better. I mean, hey buddy, what are you doing here? And if you read some of this stuff, and I got tons in the show notes at 549.nashownotes.com, if you read some of the stuff about the RNM,

34:30 It's pretty intense. I mean, remember we've had two or three examples of the entertainment reporters talking gibberish all of a sudden and going kind of kooky while they were on remote usually while they're outside the studio? Yes, this is a theme of ours. Yeah. So, you know, it feels like this was a test. It was not a test that was known by the administration. I don't think this was, you know, it clearly wasn't Hagel or, you know, it wasn't a known DOD operation. Because these guys are bumbling through their whole press conference. They don't know what the hell to make of it.

35:07 It doesn't have any of the hallmarks of the anti-gun crazies. It just doesn't. You know, it's not an AR-15. It's not a white guy. Everything's wrong. It's not Billy Joe Bob. He doesn't have three names. So maybe this... Well, there is another theory. Hold on a second. Let me get this here. A so-called whistleblower released a YouTube video like a day and a half ago And this guy claims to be a former DoD... I guess he was an officer, I'm not sure what he was.

35:52 And there's not a lot of information about him, so obviously it's quite sketchy. But I'd like to share this with you because this is a rather interesting video. Just when you think he's going to get boring, he pops something good in there. So again, this popped up on YouTube about 36 hours ago. For those of you that can see this video or hear this audio, I just wanted to make you aware of what's going on. I feel if I disseminate this information, I may actually get a night's sleep. I'm showing my face and I will reveal my name for my own protection. So if something were to happen to me, you know it was not an accident. I always like this. This is always a good way to start. Like putting all the info out there. No blacked out voices, no vocoder stuff. You know, just go for the gusto.

36:49 My name is Robert Connors and I have served with the Department of Defense for over 20 years. Prior to that, I served active duty campaigns in both Iran and Vietnam. Hold on one second, I think I just lost John. I want to make sure I get you... Are you back? Wait, I was looking at the packets. Yeah, and so I said well, let me look at the processes and I was taking some processes out Yeah, and you took Skype out? I didn't take Skype out, but I took out with some on some process that didn't make any sense that it was running It's part of the Skype scam Yeah, like something called USB audio or something like that. I'll tell you what it was. I'm seeing find it

37:33 I can just see you sitting there like this process is useless. Let's get rid of that. Look at all the CPU it's taken up. I'm getting rid of that. I forgot where it is here. I'm taking a bunch of stuff off. Oh, here it is. You won't believe this. Windows audio device graph isolation. Yeah. You killed that? Yeah. No. Do you think it would be connected to your audio somehow? What's graph isolation? I don't know, but just pay attention to the clips. Stop playing around. I'm going to play the clip again. Okay, so now promise me hands off of the task monitor. For those of you that can see this video or hear this audio, I just wanted to make you aware of what's going on. I feel if I disseminate this information, I may actually get a night's sleep.

38:33 I am showing my face and I will reveal my name for my own protection. So if something were to happen to me, you know it was not an accident. My name is Robert Connors and I have served with the Department of Defense for over 20 years. Prior to that, I served active duty campaigns in both Iran and Vietnam. I have served my country with honor and distinction. My record speaks for itself. As an ex-DOD operative, it was my duty to protect the Constitution and mitigate foreign and domestic threats in this country. Now I'll admit at this point I'm like, really you're a DOD operative? Is this a script? I didn't like that. I didn't like it. I joined the department to create a safer world for my children and now grandchildren. Yeah, didn't like this part either quite honestly. So I'm ready to turn it off but...

39:32 Unfortunately, the last decade of my career, I have seen and been a part of one of the biggest threats to this great nation. Alright, so I'm like, he's got my attention back again. Give me the threat, brother! And its citizens. Citizens. In March of 1994, I was brought in as Director of Communications for a project called Operation Sedgwick. Formed under President Ronald Wilson Reagan in 1989,

40:10 This program was the second stage in the project called MKUltra. Its focus and sole purpose was the control of the African American population and urban youth through music. Remember this remember we talked about that memo. No. No, we've talked about this a lot. Yeah, okay, so this I'm like, okay I'm kind of into this now. Yes, you heard me correctly through music I have in my possession a a series of video and audio recordings. Alright, so this is gonna go on for hours. So the guy... Hours. It does. So he talks a little bit more about that he has all this stuff but if he doesn't hear, if the government doesn't admit to this by Monday September 23rd, I like it, I like putting dates on stuff, you know, not too far in the future. So, you know, I

41:07 After Monday, we can know if this guy was full of crap or not. He was going to release everything that he has. And what he then plays as proof is unusable for the show. I mean you just won't be able to hear it and the way it's done in the YouTube video is there's a you know they have the text of what's being said on the screen and it allegedly is a phone call the night before Michael Jackson died his phone was being tapped it's Michael Jackson talking to someone named Dieter And it's Jackson saying, they're gonna kill me, they want to get rid of me, they're gonna either stab me, they might make it look like I have a drug overdose. It sounds a lot like Jackson, I'll give you that. Here it is. So you can already tell, this is not worth listening to on the podcast. You have to get the video from the show notes.

42:03 But I'm like, okay, this is a new angle if it's if it's just meant to Be a crazy video or something. Okay, but you know, there's too much in there that There's leaving room for follow-up. I First of all, on Monday the 23rd, so I look forward to that. And if this is what he's got, it sounds like Michael Jackson. I mean, it's feasible. I was the first person to say that I think he was murdered. And everyone, of course, called me a moron and a crackpot and MSNBC hung up on me. Well, not everyone. Well, that last part, yes. Yeah, MSNBC hung up on me.

42:39 And that of course turns out to be true. He was killed I mean there's a guy was actually convicted for it but maybe not in the way that you know the that he truthfully was murdered or the reason why and And the idea now meshing with this memo that we've talked about gosh, that must have been two years ago now About you know the music executives who got together and was like hey We're gonna control the youth of America through you know through hip-hop and quite honestly Look around you people turn on the radio from time to time read the lyrics if you can't hear him look at the black and white Checkerboard motifs everywhere. Look at the all-seeing-eye Illumina Illuminati signals look at the the monarch butterflies flying around What's this last thing the monarch butterflies? Yeah. Oh, you don't know about project monarch. No You have some homework to do son

42:03 But I'm like, okay, this is a new angle if it's if it's just meant to Be a crazy video or something. Okay, but you know, there's too much in there that There's leaving room for follow-up. I First of all, on Monday the 23rd, so I look forward to that. And if this is what he's got, it sounds like Michael Jackson. I mean, it's feasible. I was the first person to say that I think he was murdered. And everyone, of course, called me a moron and a crackpot and MSNBC hung up on me. Well, not everyone. Well, that last part, yes. Yeah, MSNBC hung up on me.

42:39 And that of course turns out to be true. He was killed I mean there's a guy was actually convicted for it but maybe not in the way that you know the that he truthfully was murdered or the reason why and And the idea now meshing with this memo that we've talked about gosh, that must have been two years ago now About you know the music executives who got together and was like hey We're gonna control the youth of America through you know through hip-hop and quite honestly Look around you people turn on the radio from time to time read the lyrics if you can't hear him look at the black and white Checkerboard motifs everywhere. Look at the all-seeing-eye Illumina Illuminati signals look at the the monarch butterflies flying around What's this last thing the monarch butterflies? Yeah. Oh, you don't know about project monarch. No You have some homework to do son

43:37 No, I don't. Tell me. Okay, this is entertainers are... the claim is many entertainers are programmed through part of the MKUltra program and a lot of the triggering mechanism is monarch butterflies and you'll see monarch butterflies, once you are tuned into this fact, then you start way way back nice try i tried to slip it by i thought i did pretty good for the show go on then you start to see monarch blood butterflies everywhere in pop music videos and popular culture you'll see it you're gonna see it now watch wait for any music show we just had the of course the mtv awards

44:22 Miley Cyrus, you know, we had the pedo bears, we had the Robin Thicke wearing the black and white stripes. I mean all this stuff is relevant. And now this guy comes out and says, you know, hey, there's a lot of mind control going on. And maybe if you have a binary system, you've got some crap in the video games, you've got a lot of the music. And I know it sounds horrible because now I'm like, oh my God, I've become my parents, where everyone used to be worrying about backmasking of Ozzy Osbourne and all that crap, which we knew was totally bogus. Maybe it's now true.

45:00 I don't know what to say. I feel conflicted because I know I'm the crackpot, but you know someone's got to say hey at a certain point there's just a lot of evidence and now the guy's writing ELF on the weapon that he apparently actually murdered 12 people with for no other reason than talking about the voices in his head. I got the clip about that by the way which I wanted to share. The FBI today said Alexis used a legally purchased shotgun and it's also clear he was deeply disturbed. This past summer, staying at this hotel in Rhode Island, Alexis told police he was hearing voices and being attacked by microwaves. That's part of the same thing. He just didn't seem like he would be that kind of person that would be that upset enough to go out and do something like this.

45:46 Most recently, Alexis lived in Texas. Friends there say he versed anger both at the Navy and at the terms of his military discharge. Which is there's no evidence of this by the way. Now they're just pulling fat white people out of diners, I kid you not. There's a lady eating a hamburger in a diner. Who's on next? He just was upset with the government about all that. She's in a diner eating a burger. Well, this is yeah. Yeah, so that there's a there was there's a very good people should track this down, but there's a very good short Documentary or it's actually just a long video by Adam Curtis

46:25 Who is the famous documentarian out of England who does all these great, you know, two or three hour specials for the BBC about fear and things like that. Oh yeah, right. And he's the one who brought up the fact that the news media has decided to just use the man on the street as fact, as proof. Yeah, and it's all useless. Well, no, it's great background. It makes you believe it makes you know feel right at home with what's being said. Yeah useless. Yeah useless for historians and fact-finders but very useful if you want to make people believe something. Go on with the clip.

47:07 No, no, that was it. She just goes on for a couple more minutes. Anyway, so I did want to say, remember when we were in Moab, Utah? This is when it started. So I'm out in the desert. Remember what happened when we were on last year's Hot Pockets tour? Yeah, vaguely. What? I don't remember. That's because you're not on board with the program. I said I'd started having loops play in my head. All right. Yeah, I've never really had this and it started with Well, it started with our jingles. I mean that was the worst for a org slash and a and that would play over and over in my head over and over Dina's got anything to do and then you got D D Dina but but ever since I Have sometimes twice a day. I have to stop myself and I've and what I'm doing I write down the song title and

48:09 What for the back announcing? That was a good one. No, I write down this, no for, I have to give it to ASCAP BMI. Make sure someone gets the royalties for being played in my head. No, because then it goes away once I write the song down. And here, let me grab my, let me tell you the songs that I wrote down just yesterday. Uh-oh. Yeah, I know. It's a little premature on this show, but this is good. All right, Swing Your Daddy. What? Yeah, I know. Can you believe that this is the song that's in my head? You know, doo-wop, doo-doo-doo-wop, swingin' daddy. Let me ask you a question then. Have you ever heard the song previously? Yes, I used to be a top 40 disc jockey. I've played all these songs. So what I'm going to suggest here, unless you're hearing new songs that you've never heard, it's just callback, brain callback. Right, but that doesn't mean that it's not being triggered by something.

49:09 Okay, maybe but I mean come on I'm a top 40 disc jockey swing your daddy was it you know That's it's been a couple decades since that was in the top 40 what I never heard the song. Yes, you have Swing your daddy swing your mama. Hey, you're gonna turn turn turn turn turn Okay, you never heard the song. All right, then ticket to ride. Oh She's got a ticket to ride. Why did that pop into my head then I got a Maybe you're looking for oh, I'm in the hotel room doing a completely unrelated. I'm not looking for a ticket and then alright And then steely Dan reeling in the years really I mean that's that wasn't even a hit that didn't even crack crack the top ten That's an album track. I'm slipping

50:01 Oops! Steve Miller band. Time keeps on slipping, slipping, slipping into the future. Maybe you just listen to too much music. I can't. No. Maybe I don't listen to enough music. I don't know what it is. But there are, now as I've been reading through the remote neural monitoring, a lot of people say that they hear music in their head the whole time and it's not necessarily songs they're interested in hearing at that moment. You know Dina Dina, so I think what they did is they activated me and they're like, oh, oh crap Look at this guy. There's a whole bunch of stuff in his head They activate you and they try and try and try with you know, swing your daddy that doesn't work They flip on some D D Dina, which by the way, no one else in the world has heard of you activate. They're like Turn it off we don't want him

50:57 So I'm, anyway, I'm saying that I do feel that something I've never had in my life, I've never had any problems, I've been playing jingles and songs and tons of stuff throughout my life, all of a sudden in the middle of the desert, Utah in Utah might point out, Utah This kicks in and I haven't really been able to get rid of it since other than writing down the song titles now if new music and songs would come into my head like some great songwriters say yeah, that would be from God and a blessing I'd write it down and I'd you know sell millions of records, but this is not what's happening and and take into account that you know, maybe there's stuff going on maybe

51:40 You know, maybe LTE and 4G is the perfect frequency, you know, a divided harmonic and this stuff is messing with our brains even unintentionally. There could be all kinds of stuff going on. Well, it could also be a warning shot across the bow from the NSA. Yeah, back off, is that what they're saying? Yeah. We've got plenty of these guys out there. Yeah, well, I ain't gonna back off for a second. Besides the fact they got nothing better to do. Which brings me, John, to the phrase that pays. Aye, matey! In the mornin' to ya! Well, um, pirate guy?

52:26 It's the morning to you and in the morning to all the ships that see boots on the ground feet in the air subs in the water And all the dames and knights out there. Yes in the morning on this talk like a pirate day, which apparently you forgot John Oh, yeah bullshit Yes, it is but it's fun to do it's a little a little thing we do in the in the nerd world and thank you to all the human resources who've shown up in the chat room noagendastream.com, noagendachat.net and I would like to welcome brand new human resource to the program depleting her nine point two million dollar value as we speak in fact a uh... just got a picture through twitter Mr. and Mrs. Oil have uh... well Mrs. Oil specifically has given birth to their first human resource Amelia Katie Taylor Oil

53:17 She was born... Oil. Yes, she was born on the 17th. She was 4 kilos and 120 grams. That's a big girl. And everyone is doing just fine and we are very happy. And Mr. Oil tweeted a picture of young Katie with an iPhone next to her head with no agenda streaming on it. So the child is clearly ruined already. But we say hi to you and congratulations to Mama and Papa Oil and to our artists Patrick Bausch who brought us the album art for episode 548. I can't wait to see what we'll get for episode 549 or check all of these submissions out at noagendaartgenerator.com and I believe we do have a few people we can thank today who came in as executive producers on the program, John?

54:19 yes philip smith uh... four fifty bucks out of oslo norway and uh... policy yes tennessee's most of well i'm supposed to look it up according to the note that eric sent me and uh... so i'll copy this uh... copy this what to do here research this is to take a second okay that's alright smith how about i try to help you out soon uh... room down to the bottom in a smith's noise and philip smith's donation note there you have that they have a guy's phil smith from the frozen north here the donation before fifty hope it helps you guys continue on the australian who came to oslo for ten days in two thousand five can't find my way out

55:12 Clarity is a skill that evades the Norwegian folks. So in hopes that I will one day find the exit, I will send another donation to you guys and ask all those up here to help. If this sends me into a hollowed space of knighthood, I humbly request the title of Sir Philip, Lord of the Nor- Land. How will I know but what the hell first is best dressed? Cheers and beers. So, uh, he made an interesting comment here, which is that clarity is a skill evades the Norwegian folk. Oh really? I don't know what that means. Hmm. And so but he's he's stuck up there and he can't get out of there or where I'm a little unclear on where. Well it's like some people here's a move to Chicago for example this would be a good example. Okay. You move to Chicago you can't get out. Oh okay. Because the price of the housing and the job. You just simply can't find your way out. You mean the life is too good? No it's not just too good it's too cheap.

56:15 That isn't cheap good? Well, people still want to get out. Okay, and it's hard to say I just know that people get stuck when they move to Chicago. All right. Well Philip Smith we highly appreciate you supporting our value for value model here and You will become our executive producer for episode five Four niner and credited as such Maybe throw that on to your LinkedIn profile and that'll help you get out. Apparently it works very well. Yeah move to Chicago Sir, Craig of Manana

56:51 And East Kilbride UK 33333 addresses Sir Craigman, I'm an only. Dear Dorothy and Lillian. prompted to donate whilst watching a show on the National Geographic Channel about the facilities of the gold reserves in the US. They happen to mention that the New York Fed is located at 33 Liberty Street. Yeah, this is a known fact. This is maybe the first clue in cracking the code. Can I request a birthday shout out? We have them listed. Yep, we do. We have Steve and Seth Chuck in West Orange, New Jersey, $252.09. ITM Jim and Aaron.

57:31 By my accounting, this should bring me to knighthood. Never heard back from Robert Smith, but I have better news. I'll send you in an email. If appropriate, I'll request the Baronet of New Jersey. Yes, and so remember this is Stephen who wanted us to try and reach out to Robert Smith of The Cure? Yeah, never heard of him. To help him with his relationship, and he's got a new girlfriend now. So... And he said... Well, maybe it worked out for the best. Yeah, lots of things worked out for the best. And he's smoking new girlfriend. He sent us a picture. So yes, and he will be the baronet of New Jersey, I think. Is he going to be a knight? I think he's not. He becomes a knight first, I believe. Yeah, he becomes a knight today. So he'll be knighting him. Thank you very much. And by the way, we do have to talk about New Jersey because Miss New Jersey got jobbed.

58:21 in the Miss America contest. Yeah, I'll write that down as something we need to talk about. We do! It's my report from the Miss America contest. Yes! I have four of these a year. Yes, we'll be doing your report momentarily. Let's get through the thanking people. It won't take that long. It's David Norman in Cumming, Georgia. 200 bucks. I got a note. He wrote a handwritten note. I feel I've been making a deposit to an African lottery scam. at the end of show four twenty nine the episode originally had one of your meetings attached to the and where you discussed making thirty five to five hundred five thousand dollars an episode i get annoyed that a pair of news commentator podcast would boast about that now we just uh... it was a value add let's look at it for that perspective lately have come to value no agenda as strictly entertainment

59:15 That's interesting. One night on Tuesday I tried repeatedly to download the Tuesday podcast which doesn't exist and was annoyed that you guys didn't bother to publish it. This is good. If you find a Tuesday podcast please alert the media. I realized how dumb I was to attempt such an effort. I decided that my frustration meant it was time for a serious payment for valued entertainment. Your podcast has kept me from falling asleep on long drives. Ah, okay. From Georgia to North Carolina, it was, it's not that long. It was the kind of thing that woke me after almost driving off the road.

1:00:00 We saved his life. Yeah, and he gave us $200. Well good, we're happy about that. If anyone else like me finds themselves trying to download the podcast, five minutes efforts released every week, it's time to deliberate and meaning, it's time for a deliberate and meaningful payment to no agenda. David Norman. All right, well he will be our associate executive producer and that's it, right? For today? Yeah, that's it. That's all we got. We got two and two. uh... well i'm glad i have a secondary career going on yeah in porn exactly that's where you know we still always falls the porn that that but we do i think our executive producers uh... it feels kind of right being here in hollywood this is how it uh... it works in the real world by you finance the program you get on the credits right uh... at the opening credits here in the show so you are the executive producers and we also have uh...

1:00:56 Our friend from George there whose life we saved he is the associate executive producer for episode 549 those credits will be retrievable at 549 dot na show notes comm and they're of course real credits You can use them anywhere credits are accepted and valued your LinkedIn pro I did that to wake up anyone. You just saved another five people from dying. Well, there you go. That's what we do people. And of course, we always appreciate it when you go out there and propagate our formula. Our formula is this. We go out, we hit people in the mouth. No service for you!

1:01:50 I like it. I think periodically during the show you should just do that. Yeah. Somebody could be dozing off. Yeah, do it again just so we know what to expect. Yeah, it's good. I think at least three four times during each podcast we should do that. It would jar you. Yeah. Okay, say something while I go get a sheet of paper from the other desk. Okay, today is also by presidential proclamation, Constitution Day! Citizenship Day! And it is actually Constitution Week for 2013. And this allows me to honor our Constitution by playing a short clip. What? Oh, go on, play the clip. What are you complaining about? Well, I thought you were just filling time.

1:02:45 no i wouldn't know this is that i don't and it's not just filler this is uh... the meat uh... little clip here as of course uh... the uh... the second amendment is once again being brought up i would like to play clip from one of your representatives here in the united states of get my nation those of you from far around should listen up uh... this is uh... thompson he is a democrat their family i love ones and i think i speak for everyone all when i say that Secondly, my appreciation for everyone who understands how important this is and continues to do everything within their power to make sure that we put some sensible laws on the books that will help prevent gun violence. And I say that as someone who is and has been all my life a gun owner.

1:03:33 I believe in the second amendment. And if I thought for a minute what we were doing was taking away someone's constitutional rights, taking away responsible law-abiding citizens... Alright, you just need to stop right there. I want to remind our representatives that the amendments don't really give any rights to Americans, so you can't take anything away. Witness a reading of the second amendment, just to make sure you understand. A well-regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, comma, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. This does not give you a right. This is a right we already have in America. So, Representative Thompson, you can't take anything away. This is to regulate you.

1:04:25 You cannot infringe on the right that is already there and is apparently bestowed upon us by God or some other alien being. I have an idea. What's that? All these guys, and I would put everybody in this camp, all the... the anti-gun people. They have a voice, they have freedom of speech. Change the Constitution. They can amend the Constitution, repeal the Second Amendment. It's not that hard if the whole public is all game for it. Common sense, everyone's in on it. And by the way, since you're bringing that topic up, play this clip, which is something that we've talked about for some time, which is women

1:05:01 leaning Democrat. Well, hold on a second. That was the most awesome little opening. This is how they do news these days? Yeah, this is a hard. Oh my God, that was awesome. I mean, I know. Everybody stand by. We got another clip for you here coming up on new agenda. There's a big reason Republicans should be worried heading into next year's midterm elections. They're losing big among women voters. According to our latest NBC News Wall Street Journal poll, women are leaning more toward the Democrats now than they were even in 2010 or 2012. Women prefer Democrats by a margin of 51% to 36%. That's a spread of 15 points.

1:05:42 and white women who actually went Republican in the last two elections now lean towards the Democrats. So, if the Republicans fail to win the Senate next November, it may well be because of their poor showing among women. We'll be right back. Yeah, yeah, of course. We know that's gonna work. I mean, that's fine. The Republican Party might as well just pack it in regardless. But that doesn't mean... Sorry? They've been jobbed. They've been totally jobbed and it's not like, you know, all I'm saying, I just want to remind people, my God, did you see that... Let me find it here. This was during the rounds, it was a... Well, maybe before you go to there, we should mention that we uncovered the thesis, that the reason that this report, and he never mentions any of this, of course, he just states the

1:06:30 facts of the poll is that the women have been suckered into believing that all this violence is going on is because of the republicans yes it is the exact violence and we we we know from uh... well many operatives have uh... even discussed this and said the entire, that the president and the Democrat party and the administration don't really care about you being killed by guns. All they care about is that when the 2014 election comes up is that they win. It's all about power and just keeping and building more power base.

1:07:10 This was, I think even before, I got this before the most recent shooting, the Navy Yard. This is a prep document for high school students for advanced placement. Can you explain what advanced placement is? Yeah, advanced placement was just something that's fairly new. is the idea that you can take these special courses, college level courses and get these AP scores which add to your high school grade but not like, let's say you take four courses in high school and one advanced placement course and you get straight A's. Including an A in the advanced placement course. So you divide your 4.0 into four

1:08:02 times five which is twenty points and then you do that but you only counted against four so you end up with like a four point two grade point average or something like that in other words your grade point average goes above four and this is the biggest scam ever you know first of all it sounds like you have to have a PhD before you can get into college according to this here's something as a European and I went to Dutch high school and graduated The idea of this grade point average with a 4 is very complicated to people who come from a decimal system. So the way it works in Europe, if you get a 6, then that's a passing grade.

1:08:50 And on your final exams, if your total of all of your grades equals a 5.6, that will be rounded up to a 6 and you will pass. That's a passing grade. And so we don't have this A, B, C, D, E, or there's not even an E, which is crazy again. You have A, B, C, D, F. And then, where did this 4 number system come from? What is the basis? Because I don't understand. A is 4 points, B is 3, C is 2, and D is 1, and F is 0. But a 1 point grade average, is that still a pass? Well, technically it should be a 2.0 to pass.

1:09:34 One point on means you're just a flunk. It's a D. Oh Okay, but hold on this is it I didn't know that so really the four points equal the ABCD Oh, I didn't know that That's hilarious that you didn't know it. But yeah, that's just that simple Okay. So anyway, so this is a document. It's unclear How old it is? It seems like it's from 2010 it is a preparatory document coming, it comes from a book, I have a PDF of it, preparing for the advanced placement exam in US history. So it's kind of a, I guess it's a little doc, it's like the cliff notes, but it helps you with all the important things you need to know. And they have the first 10 amendments listed in here, but apparently the 10 amendments are so burdensome and so long that they had to shorten it.

1:10:30 How can you shorten it? It's only one page. So, the Second Amendment, which I just read and I will read again to you. Here it is. A well-regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, comma, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, comma, shall not be infringed. Shorten that to the following. Oh no. The people have the right to keep and bear arms in a state militia. No. Yeah. Who are, who is, who is they? Who wrote this? This is, I'm gonna find it for you right now. This is scandalous. This is John J. Newman, Ed.D., has served as adjunct assistant professor of history at Illinois University, adjunct professor of history at the College of DuPage, DuPage, Department of Quaternary, let me see who publishes this, John J. Newman, AMSCO School Publications, Inc., 315 Hudson Street, New York, New York,

1:11:36 The reviewers, some people at Brockport High in New York, Social Studies Coordinator Rocky Point Public Schools New York, published by Amscopub.com. Wow. Pretty annoying isn't it? It's pathetic. And they shortened all of them, but I thought that was the most relevant because we were just talking about it. But every single one of them has been shortened. It's like... I mean the whole Constitution itself, you know, you can sit on it and you won't even notice it. You print it out and sit on it and you won't know that you're sitting on anything. And they had to take that and shorten it down to something that is just not true anymore. Wow.

1:12:30 link to that in the show notes if you're interested. I am looking into them now as we speak. Amps Co? Yeah, something's fishy. It was one of those things that, you know, I was like, all right, this is doing the rounds and, you know, who knows. But then you look at it and then, you know, as far as I can tell, it's from 2010. And, you know, so it's not like, because it's a preparatory document, it's not like this is being specifically taught in schools. But yet again, it is. I mean, who comes up with this thinking even? Yeah, no kidding. Well, let's get to the real important

1:13:08 aspect of the show here. Yes, this would be the Miss America contest. Scam! Uh-oh! Now I'll admit up front that Miss Mickey and I delayed our watching of Breaking Bad for... we only watch the TV on Sundays for Breaking Bad and Newsroom. And Newsroom is now over. Speaking of scam, boy did they wrap that thing up into a nice little ball of twine at the end. Boo! Breaking Bad, which is also completely messed up, I think they've ruined the show. So we're like, okay, we're gonna watch Miss America for a little bit. And right off the bat, and Nikki's good at this, we went Miss New Jersey for the win. And she got knocked out after round one, I believe. Right. She was a very attractive, sharp, yeah.

1:14:03 uh... gorgeous girl that should have easy got in the files i think when they finally at the final ten and then they'd cut them down the five and they left this other one out which was i think the sure winner of the final ten was miss maryland i think that looking it back on it i'd like jersey a lot and she could want to miss maryland was beautiful i'd also like to massachusetts she was the massachusetts okay but the difference was that miss maryland was this one of the singers are all singers she actually could see Who's the one who did the the song from Les Miserables? Yeah, I think that was George or something. That's when I turned it off. I'm like, are you kidding me? And I like the girl who did Swan Lake though. She was kind of cute. She did her ballet and then oh, that was terrible. She almost fell on her butt. And then Miss Connecticut who did the river dance. There's always some chick doing the river dance. I love it.

1:14:54 It's so dumb to watch. Well, the one who did the ballet was the Miss California, the Chinese girl. Yeah, I like, I kind of like that. address and start spinning around it was horrible miss maryland actually had talent she's gorgeous she's beautiful and i think that she's going straight to hollywood did anyone have a uh... a baton did anyone do anything else yes oh i want to girl i i thought that she already she blew out her and her leg she blew out her knee oh yes she had that i said she had a brace on right and she still performed and i have to say i've seen a lot of the time to rulers

1:15:31 She's got a job as a juggler. She is great. Alright, I want to remind people who are new to the program. It is about four times a year that we do a report on, we believe it is socially and economically important to track the beauty pageants as televised on American television, but according to the broadcasters themselves, watched by billions around the globe. yeah right by the way I did watch the Miss Venezuela contest some you know during the Chavez era yeah that puts us to shame yeah it's like 40 of the most beautiful women you've ever seen anyway back to this so they have this thing is set up to is idiotic they have these girls dancing the whole show

1:16:20 as though they were disco chicks or those girls in the go-go girls from the 60s and it was just ludicrous and then they had him when they introduced themselves they had these cute little things to say they were all stupid we can play that I mean really really stupid this is the Miss America clip one intro You know, I have that one but is there more? Am I missing something? Do you have more? There's one other one here which is... Maybe it's called something else? Miss American Sleazeballs. That's the second one. Okay, I'm gonna see if I can read down that one while we play the intro clip one. Intro clip one. Thomas Edison judged America's first beauty pageant in my state. Can you feel the electricity? My name is Rebecca Jackson, Miss Delaware.

1:17:11 Now wait a minute, did I hear Miss Washington DC say from the Capitol where we're listening to all of your calls? Yes. She should have won. That's funny. Well, I'm sure all this material is written for the girls. Oh yeah, of course. But every time they announced themselves and then they, as soon as they said their name, then they started dancing like lunatics. It was dumb. And then some of them were outside so they had really crappy light and they didn't look good at all. Oh no, there was one whole scene of about ten women that were all backlit.

1:18:10 So you couldn't see their faces. Don't look at them because you can't unsee it. Yeah, it was bad. It was really a bad production. Yeah, we did see it. And so did you get that other clip down? Yeah, I got it. Okay, so let me get the name of this guy the guy who do they get these it's show used to have a you know used to have Bob Barker it was a very and Bob Barker was always seen as a kind of a womanizer the Unless he host is Bob Barker dead. Did he die? I don't know you can look him up and see Bob Barker was He also did and he always sang a song at the end. Oh

1:18:45 I oh the the Miss America song right yeah but he wasn't he the Price is Right guy or yeah yeah yeah he had was just apparently sleeping with everybody even do it 70s he was the Hoff of his day basically let me see Bob Barker I think he's still alive man yeah according to the Wikipedia he's still alive age 89 I bet he's still nailing uh... we may be a get into it yeah who is this guy this douche bag that's the host on this thing he is gay and that all the judges were gay amish become judges who are the judges all they had me they had to get it there so gay was ridiculous and i think that the woman who was a gay the female issues what she but yeah but she was one of those holly hunter uh...

1:19:38 uh... what's-her-name type gay women are very different from to their teeth a little bit like a lesbian yeah yeah i think that he talks like this here you go let me see i got i got the judges here uh... carla hall missio sam haskell is he the host yet the i think so yeah always let lance bass was a host yeah no music judge and judge yes he's gay yeah he's going to get these are outgays were not to bring i make a stuff that you should put us on Yeah, that would work. It's rigged. And I'll tell you why it was rigged. Let me take a play the sleazeball thing where they were, where you listen to the whole thing that I'll give you my analysis at the end. Miss New York, Nuna W. Come on over here.

1:20:32 TV host Julie Chen revealed that when she was starting out, for career reasons, she had plastic surgery to make her eyes appear less Asian. What message does this send to young women? Unfortunately, I don't agree with plastic surgery. However, I can understand that from a standpoint. But more importantly, I've always viewed Miss America as the girl next door. And the girl next door is evolving as the diversity in America evolves. She's not who she was 10 years ago and she's not going to be the same person come 10 years down the road. So I wouldn't want to change someone's looks or appearance, but definitely be confident in who you are. Alright, Miss New York, thank you very much.

1:21:12 Thank you so much by the way for recording this for me. This is a true delight Ladies one of you six will get a question unfortunately five of you will be eliminated from this competition The next and final question goes to finalist Miss Florida Miranda come on over come on over reach in no fear Deirdre Downs gun. What? Hold on a second. What did she say? Deirdre Downs gun. Let me just replay that. She's got this. She looks...

1:22:00 like Jodie Foster and then talks to her teeth. Okay. Anniversary of Dr. King's I Have a Dream speech and we have an African American president. Yet minorities still have disproportionately low incomes and disproportionately high unemployment and incarceration rates. What should our nation do to address this issue? I actually came from a home that my father is unemployed. It took a lot for me to be able to stand on this stage. So I truly represent that middle class blue collar family that's working hard to make their kids be able to have all the opportunities in the world. So that comes from, we need to have more jobs in America. All right, Miss Florida, I'm sorry our time is up. Thank you very much. Thank you. Go get your gowns, go get all your gowns.

1:22:46 Congratulations, Miss Florida. There is time. It's a timed answer. Don't make me the bad guy. All right, I'm the bad guy. Have you all made your choices? Let us know and hashtag Miss America. Bring it on. All right. All right. Let me let me tell you what I've discovered in this fine piece of journalistic research that you've committed for us. Jebediah. First of all, this makes no sense for the Asian girl who was talking about plastic surgery. And I saw these girls and I think many of them have had work done. Just a glance of 15-20 minutes that I saw the show.

1:23:33 I disagree and I think it is a mistake to say that Miss America is the girl next door. Under no circumstances do I want the girl next door in a bathing suit. In America we want hot chicks on stage. This program is misogynistic, it is anti-women, it is almost like Islam. subjugating women to cheap pieces of meat on stage who we then make dance and insult to injury they gave one girl twice as much time as the other. You nailed it. Now here's the times. They had four women come out and Miss Oklahoma's long win at 20.42 seconds. I timed these answers. Because you know there's nothing else to do.

1:24:25 Miss Minnesota comes out 1379 she's in she's out she's good. Miss California the girl in the tutu comes out 1894. Miss New York the winner. I had two timings on her but the most conservative timing she was on for 22.79 he cuts off miss florida at 21.69 yeah this is a scam of the highest order okay one of them miss new york the detractive you know could i think there's more attractive indian women but she's not a bad looking girl

1:25:02 She was talking about multiculturalism. That is so great. Miss Florida was talking about unemployment. Yeah, no, we can't have any of that. So she gets booted. She gets booted by this douchebag. They flash the red light and he jumps on it because he's an obvious robot. It was the worst show ever. I think Donald Trump is the only one who benefited from it. And here's my prediction, by the way. They created a bunch of bogus hatred of calling the Indian woman a terrorist and an Arab on Twitter, which is just douchebags on Twitter. It doesn't mean anything. I believe that she will quit, she will not finish her term as Miss America. Ooh, this is one for the Red Book, John. Red Book. Wow, Red Book, yeah, Red Book entry as of today. That way they can make a big stink about it. Right, because she was bullied. Exactly. Okay, so we put in the Red Book, the reigning Miss America will not complete her term

1:26:02 Which of course means that the runner-up will take the crown. Who was the runner-up John? I don't remember. I was so sick of this old one None of them were good miss man. It was sitting there the best-looking one and the smartest She's standing there holding the bag as a six-placer and I love that Was it miss Kansas the one that which I have to say they used very appropriately for PR that The one with the tattoos and she's a naval reservist. And she by the way, let me just say, you want Miss America? That is pretty much every American boy's dream of Miss America.

1:26:42 A girl who shoots. A girl who shoots, you know she's got tats, you know she looks like she could crack your head with her thighs. Right. And she probably likes football. Yeah, I mean, and you know she burps and drinks beer, and this is a great gal. I mean, what was her talent, John? What was her talent? I don't remember. Oh, come on! Didn't she, she had a, now this is, what kind of report is this? Well, I'm the report, I'm basing my report on the timings of these answers. That's what the whole deal of the report. Okay, well. You can look the rest of it up. No, you nailed that. I think, I think you've got a good point. Good point.

1:27:22 Good work. Thank you very much John C. DuBois our correspondent for the Miss America contest. What will we have next? Will it be Miss Universe or what is the next meet festival of meet we'll be able to see John? I have them on the calendar. There's two there's four competitions we follow. this us a miss america miss universe and miss world yes yes these are the next i believe is coming up uh... these come together pretty quickly i think the next one is miss universe i think that is next month possibly i have to go look at my google calendar it is amazing the uh... the chat room is uh... is required uh... entertaining

1:28:02 during your report and by the way our chat room should be judging the beauty pageants yeah, it should we should have an independent thing, some independent thing well you know, let me tell you, we could by the way this is the second year in a row that New York won which is weird yeah that is kind of weird and that's another reason I think she's gonna bail out We can totally hijack these competitions, by the way. This is what Twitter doesn't know yet. Once people figure out how to hijack it and do an alternative results... I did this back... This is actually how I got interested in the Internet. In 1988, when everyone was on... It was called The Source. Remember that?

1:28:55 Yeah, the source was pre-AOL. It was along with CompuServe and the source were the two biggies at the time. But the source I think later became AOL, right? No. Okay, was the source something else that had become Prodigy or... No, no, it didn't. It was bought by one of the other groups eventually. It died. By the way, 73320,1524. Oh, that's CompuServe. I still know my CompuServe ID. Yeah, I probably know mine too. How sad is that? Okay, so in those days, you know, there was never 8 in one of those IDs. You know why? No. Because all of them were octal. Say that again? All the computers were octal. They weren't using, you know, any hexadecimal computing program. On the back end, you mean? It was all octal, yeah. 8-bit octal.

1:29:45 Okay, so you never saw it you never saw an eight or no no no I think they all started with seven anyway regardless So at the time I started with nine, but there we go at the time You know we I was on the like the CB chat and all this stuff and AOL was just kind of starting up and I kept hearing about this thing called the internet and it was really hard to get on but you know all the cool kids were there and As it turned out once I got my first slip account, you know where you had to tell you to call in then you town that in and you'd start up a Slip protocol and then you had your stack. Oh Ah, come sit on Grandpa's knee, I'll tell you all about it. And when I was a kid... And then we fired up the IRC...

1:30:28 And of course who was on was all kids at college who had access to terminals and they were the ones actually watching MTV, who by the way have never been counted in the ratings. So the core audience is not really counted or at least it wasn't at the time that may have changed now. So we'd have the top 20 countdown and then during the airing of the top 20 countdown MTV only had one feed so you'd get it East Coast, West Coast, the same program but at different times. I'd have a rating system in the IRC channel and people would vote for what they thought it was supposed to be. And of course, the actual list was much different than the bogus industry influence list that MTV put together.

1:31:12 And that's when I knew that I had to do something on the internet. Now today if you fast forward we have Twitter. If you put up a website and you did it with a hashtag, you could totally have everyone coming up with a whole, you could have a different winner for all of these things. For all of these stupid reality shows, you could hijack it. Yeah, that's the idea. That's what we're gonna do. No, that's not what we're gonna do. That sounds like work. Oh, yeah, you're right. Miss Alabama. gorgeous girl. Instead of doing that, I spent a lot of time working on Syria.

1:31:51 not working on Syria as a country, but finding out what's going on as we continue to see the Russian and American interests playing out there. It's actually quite funny what is going on. Marie Harf, of course, was put on the spot during one of the press conferences, one of my favorite topics of course, now that we're getting rid of the chemical weapons, that kind of solves everything, because chemical weapons are much worse than killing people with, I don't know, bio-weapons? This plan, Nadir, with the biological weapons that the Sunni regime has,

1:32:26 It's my understanding this is chemical weapons focus, but I can check and see if any of that might be a part of it I don't I don't believe that they are I just don't know the full scale of that. Do you not worried about the biological weapons? We're worried about every possible bad weapon that could be used on the ground by the I know this Bad weapons agreement is specifically on chemical weapons. I just quite frankly don't know what the scope of the other issue would be on the ground I think I got to play that other clip again of her That was because every single time I hear her now, it reminds me of it. Welcome back to Friday Briefings. I'm sorry that August is over. Oh, and this one time at band camp? I don't have anything at the top today. I stuck a flute in my pussy. I can't help myself. Now whenever I see her, I'm thinking, oh my God, it's really her from American Pie. So the big news was... Disgusting. Yes, it is. But it was a funny movie.

1:33:23 The big news is this report that is in, it's in early, earlier than we expected, which is curious considering the timing of this is all to either delay or to complicate or perhaps help the negotiations of the TTIP. uh... you released by the united nations chemical weapons team the united nations mission to investigate allegations of the use of chemical with weapons in the syrian arab republic and of course i have uh... taken the uh... the time to mark up uh... several interesting parts of the actual report and there are some questions that i have that i find rather peculiar now in general

1:34:09 The way the report is interpreted is the Assad regime used chemical weapons. This is not in the report. at all. I shall tell you what's in here. Just in the preamble, the Secretary General Ban Ki-moon has a little note here and there's a line here. The Secretary General expresses his profound shock and regret at the conclusion that chemical weapons were used on a relatively, what relative is we don't know, large scale resulting in numerous casualties, particularly among civilians and including many children.

1:34:47 the accession of the Syrian Arab Republic on September 14th to the Convention on the Prohibition of the Development, Production, Stockpiling and Use of Chemical Weapons and their Destruction is a welcome development. I don't believe they have assessed into it yet. That's why I highlighted this, because it sounds like this is a done deal, like they already signed it on the 14th. But as you go through the reports on the 21st of August, Ghouta area of Damascus, we learn a number of things. We learn that they have only done testing on survivors.

1:35:33 Now, I've done some research on sarin gas. No one has really brought this up. Sarin gas, apparently the remnants of it stay around for years and you can pick up soil samples. Yes, this is true. So you would also then be able to use samples from dead people. Yes, you can and the clothes, their clothes. Yeah. That's usually what you can do in the clothes. Not a single sample and I had the lab reports which are not 100% conclusive. The samples were also very small. They did very small samples. They only took samples of 20 survivors. So, you know, if you have 14, 1500 dead, why are you only taking samples from a very small amount of survivors?

1:36:22 Also, they have pictures of what they believe were the delivery mechanisms. It's a BM-14 rocket. You have to look at the report, and the pictures are in the report. You can find the PDF file in our show notes for this episode, 549.nashownotes.com. It's almost laughable. A BM-14, this is a rocket that is, I believe, about 45 years old. And you have to imagine, it literally has like a round circle with fins and it's sticking out of the ground in a pile of crud where they've taken this picture.

1:37:04 You know, if I'm the Syrian army and I just have a feeling I'd be using something a little more sophisticated than this delivery mechanism. They also talk about the proof for this being fired from the Assad regime. is, well, they took the landing spot of this BM-14 rocket and they drew a circle around the area of the landing spot that would constitute the launch radius from a BM-14 launcher.

1:37:40 But they have no proof that this was launched from a BM-14 launcher. There is no documentation that did, and so of course that puts like some barracks or some other, some other military, Assad military installations into the circle. But that's just an assumption. You know, this thing could... someone could have thrown it for all I know. I mean, this is... They could have pounded it into the ground as a prop. It kind of looks like that, quite honestly. So, I'm not even all in on the conclusiveness of the use of sarin. Why did they not take a single sample? Why did they not have a single, any sample, for any toxicity, for anything of the deceased? This is what I don't understand. Only of survivors.

1:38:28 and only of 20 survivors that they took samples from. So I call the entire report flawed, and it seems like we're just now in an expected delaying tactic. Assad has said all right, you know it's gonna take about a billion euros and it's gonna take us a year to get rid of everything So that's all beautiful just in time for you know the negotiations to heat up there next month in Europe for the TTIP so that we can start shipping our gas over keep Syria a nice mess. That's for sure JF Kerry even making jokes about it as at the swearing-in ceremony of our other favorite show Victoria Newland she is now the assistant deputy secretary of state well wait wait wait wait the PR girl yes sir has become the assistant deputy the assistant deputy which is a third tier let me check let me it may be deputy hold on let me make sure hold on

1:39:32 I don't use the word PR girl just to make her sound like an idiot. But I don't believe that PR women are all idiots. Well, she was already kind of on the move. We knew that, right? But she's the PR girl. The spokesman. Spokes-hole. Yeah, well there was a whole ceremony man, it was great. Here let me see, um... Let me see what her exact title is. Swearing in Ceremony, Victoria Newland. So what you're telling me is that this newbie, this... I'm sorry, she's Assistant Secretary of State. I don't know what that means. But so what we're saying here is that the dingbat that we now have in the press office. That's our dingbat. She's going to be up. She's going to be running things. Yes, she's in. She's good to go. Well, I'm happy about that.

1:40:23 Well, it's good for the show. Yeah, exactly. So, Victoria has become the Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs. So, she is now directly involved with the TTIP and here's JF Kerry making a little joke. Wow, what an amazing gathering. I can't believe the extraordinary representation. I think we have a quorum and much more from Europe and our ambassadors. I'm absolutely confident if we tried we could sign the TTIP in about an hour. Thank you very much Mr. Watermelon Head. Jane Harmon

1:41:11 former Democratic operative, was she a Congress critter? She's a Congresswoman from Southern California and a fast talker. Chemical weapons convention, Syria has to, Syria's in a box, it can't use chemical weapons at this point, I don't think any way possible. And by Saturday, Russia has to explain, as far as I know, why this deal isn't going through. We're not in the box, they're in the box. And they're the ones who would be the target of an attack. So I don't see this. I also see, I think John Kerry should be nominated for sainthood, and I think he's following Rahm Emanuel's playbook, no crisis should go to waste. I think he should be nominated for sainthood too. Please, it would be great for the show.

1:41:56 Can you believe that? What is that supposed to mean? He's following Emmanuel's playbook that no crisis go to waste, he should be a saint. How does that, how does that, how do those two even make sense? That makes Rahm Emanuel Pope. A sense, a sense, a saint. He should be a sense. He's a sense. A couple of other things that are interesting about Syria. Apparently George Stephanopoulos flew to Syria. He wanted to have an interview with Assad as well. And he got sent back while Denis Kucinich did an interview with Assad for Fox News.

1:42:33 Yes, I watched the interview. And but I think I'd so I don't have any clips from the interview, but I thought it was beautiful that Assad is astute enough to know that ABC is all in with the Obama regime and that they're just gonna chop it up and make him look like an idiot, you know, put like horns, draw horns on his head and, you know, just vilify the guy. And then he says, you know, screw it, I'll think I'll take Fox. I think those guys are better. And Dennis Kucinich is my man. Beautiful. So they brought Kucinich in with one of the, I think the head of news or something for Fox. He was sitting there with him. He didn't have anything to say. It was the same, essentially the same bull crap that was delivered to Charlie Rose, only Kucinich seems to be more on the ball. It was interesting. He seemed a little cowed by it. So then I ran, they analyzed it. They did play it whole cloth, but then they analyzed it to death.

1:43:29 And I actually think the best analysis, and I have to agree with Charles Krauthammer, who was brought on to Fox to talk about what he thought of this thing, with this interview, and he wasn't happy about it. And he, I thought this was a good rundown of what's going on. Bashar al-Assad has a reputation, has had for over a decade and he's been in power, for being simple and stupid as opposed to the father who was a wily dictator. I think if you watch him for this hour, you'd have to conclude the exact opposite. He is very smart. extremely sophisticated and one of the great liars of all time. He spoke for almost an hour, I don't think there was a true word in anything he said, including the words and and but. I'll give you two examples. One is he talked about the terrorists as being sort of at the start of the war, the reason he began the war, the reason he leveled all the cities.

1:44:24 It began as a demonstration by school children in Dara whom he then tortured and it remained a popular uprising for at least a year before any of the so-called terrorists arrived. And secondly, when you watch him and you get the sense of the sincerity and the warmth of the softness of the voice of a guy who cares about how the terrible terrorists, meaning the Al-Qaeda types, the jihadis have come into his country and infiltrated it with a terrible ideology Assad is the guy who created and supported Al-Qaeda in Iraq after America entered Iraq. He was the one who channeled all these elements who we now decry so sincerely in order to go and to unbar into Iraq and to kill Americans. So he is getting the blowback of the people he invited and with whom he was completely comfortable

1:45:18 as long as the task was to kill Americans. But look at his success, how smart he is. We are sitting with him for an hour, treating him like a great statesman, a month after he ordered an entirely criminal chemical weapons attack which killed 1,500 of his people and he did it without any qualms whatsoever. I say he's a brilliant diplomat and a war criminal at the same time. Wow, well I take issue with Krauthammer on this one. Typically I kind of like what he says, but this is bullcrap. Well, what way is it bullcrap? Well, so he is essentially saying, whenever someone comes up with the blowback meme, you know, what we're seeing here in America, it's all blowback, you know, blow this. The blowback meme is tired as far as I'm concerned. I did a little bit of research into, because it's easy to say Al-Qaeda, okay?

1:46:11 Okay, it's a Krauthammer is doing that and usually he's much better than this. He won't say, you know He'll distinguish what I al-qaeda is and the al-qaeda air quotes that is in in Syria a lot of this al-qaeda came from Turkey and and not from Iraq. We also have Al-Qaeda in the Maghreb and Al-Qaeda in Yemen and all these Al-Qaeda's, but this Al-Qaeda or we'll just call them Al-Qaeda, they came from Turkey and I've been looking into where this came from and I've come across a rather interesting fellow Whose name is Fatoula Gulen. Have you ever heard of this guy? I have as a matter of fact So what is your knowledge of Fatoula Gulen? I just heard I remember the name I have no idea at the top of my head what he does Fatoula Gulen who lives in Pennsylvania by the way in a compound he started the The Gulen movement and I believe this all started in Turkey But really the Gulen charter schools is what's interesting

1:47:13 and it is an islamist and he uh... not only has he been fueling a lot of the uh... islamist uh... revolt in in turkey he actually uh... uh... it's had one of his institutions uh... educated erdogan so he is a he comes straight from the the gulen uh... school of thought and uh... the general consensus if you look around and you look at some of the wiki pages and you start digging into this guy is that what he's teaching at these schools and and this guy... Oh yeah, now I remember where I heard this guy. This guy has a bunch of schools in Texas. He has like 80 of them in Texas. Yeah, they're called Harmony Schools. Yes, and they teach a lot of stuff there that you know in the Netherlands where of course there's a huge Islamification issue

1:48:09 There was a big investigation because the Dutch subsidized, you can start a school and you can get subsidy from the government. And there's a big conversation about taking away subsidy from the Gulen schools because they're essentially not helping anyone integrate into the great multicultural society of Europe, but they're actually, maybe you could call it radicalizing the Islamic youth who are at these schools. And this is indeed, so he's running like this empire and we're talking $40 billion worth of sponsored charter schools around the world. And here's an interesting connection.

1:48:51 Remember the Boston, the alleged Boston bombers and how their uncle was married to the CIA guy's daughter? Vaguely. Vaguely, okay. So he's married to Graham Fuller's daughter and Graham Fuller happens to be the CIA guy who brought Fethullah Gulen into America, helped him get his green card, with a whole bunch of like high-end operatives, you know, saying this guy's good, he should be here and essentially has planted him in Pennsylvania in this fabulous compound where, you know, he's running this charter school system from.

1:49:36 and i think we need to take a close look at this and i know that just by talking about on the show get more people to to open up a hopefully people in europe but this guy seems to be kind of the the puppet master of triggering these quote-unquote al-qaeda to go in and and and cause crap wherever necessary and i would say that you can probably see turkey really start to explode pretty soon if he is indeed that tied into uh... near the whole free flow of energy in the region etcetera uh... because that would be the next the next piece is where all the connections are made is in turkey so i don't know yeah when he was and i i i don't really had it with his but i'm thinking differently okay uh... i like the guling connection i don't think he's got too much to do necessarily mean there is something going on between and syria the shutdown one of their plane just a couple days ago and there's a lot of border tension and they all these refugees are going into turkey causing trouble uh... and now it did

1:50:35 Key to your analysis to me is that there's a CIA involvement here. Yes, exactly. It's a ghoul in character. Which would make sense. And we do know that the Islamists have kind of taken over Turkey even though they haven't, you know, every time they try to put their foot down, a rioting takes place there, very much like the Arab Spring situation in Egypt. it has the same look and feel which again the original not the second one right all the second one may be part of our up going to bow to be had to do anything but the first one was very much controlled it be a same thing and uh... turkey i would like i would think if this is that if there's any c sort of c i a thing going on here in this goal and maybe a stooge for all we know could be could be and he's being used

1:51:21 Because they want this sort of thing to propagate even though I don't know if they like the idea of all these Harmony Schools in Texas. I'd be a little concerned about that by the way. Yeah, that's why we are armed. Right. I think they want to turn Turkey into rubble. Yeah, but that isn't that what I just said? No, no, no, you didn't say anything about the rubble. No, I said be careful, Turkey is next because that's where all the connections are. Yeah, but you were just referring to the oil. I thought you were just talking about the pipelines again. You never said that they wanted to turn Turkey into... we're talking rubble. Okay, well, hey, I say pipelines, you say rubble. It's the same thing. Anyway, so they're going to turn Turkey into rubble. Put it in the Red Book.

1:52:05 Yeah, put it in the book turkey in the rubble now the problem with this whole thing is that it never was mentioned by What's his name with the seven countries turkey was never mentioned? Hmm. Hold on a second. Let's listen to the West Clark seven once again. Here we go It's a evergreen. Oh, actually I should play the Man, I got the jingle for that. Where's my there's my evergreen. Oh, man. This is what happens when I'm on the road I don't have everything all and my I don't have enough our screens. Yeah Here it is, alright, here we go. Now we can roll with it, this is how I want to do it. It's a no agenda classic clip! No agenda! No, no, no, no! So, I came back to see him a few weeks later...

1:52:48 and by that time we were bombing in Afghanistan. I said, are we still going to war with Iraq? And he said, oh, it's worse than that. He said, he reached over on his desk, he picked up a piece of paper, he said, I just, he said, I just got this down from upstairs, meeting the Secretary of Defense's office today, and he said, this is a memo that describes how we're gonna take out seven countries in five years, starting with Iraq and then Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and finishing off Iran. Yeah, it was not there. Somalia though, we got some action in Somalia. Yeah, we're always going to have action there. And by the way, Wesley Clark and his buddy who's telling him all this, it could have been modified between now and a decade ago, you know. Yeah, it's exactly 10 years ago, I agree. Well, let me just play the, I have a relevant clip for, relevant clip on Somalia from our friend, our buddy, Heiko Hermann. The European Union has also been much engaged.

1:53:47 In just over five years, over one billion euro of European support has gone to Somalia. More than half on development and on humanitarian priorities. Help them. To build up basic services in a number of regions and to bring emergency assistance to the worst affected areas, particularly in the famine of 2011-2012. The other half on security operations. supporting the African Union's military mission AMISOM, helping rebuild and train the Somali army, and keeping pirates away from the Somali coast with Operation Atalanta. There you go. Sounds like the European Union, which needs all of its money for its own people, is spending it on helping the people of Somalia. You know what we need. You know what we need. You've got something to eat, a distraction called Christmas.

1:54:49 George Clooney is a spy. Hell yeah! Alright, so watch for Clooney to pop up pretty soon if we're in Somalia. I think he's sick of this. Sick of our jingles? No, he's sick of being the stooge. Yeah, but if he wants... well, you know, it all depends. It depends on what he wants. You know, if he wants hit movies, then you do the business. If you just want to sit in Lake Cuomo and make, drink cappuccinos with me, George, then you know, you pack it in, so to speak. Anyway, so I think we, I think you're right. The rubble idea, it needs to spill over and we keep our eye on this Gulen guy. And by the way, think of the benefits of the rubble idea. Okay, let's tick them off. Benefit one.

1:55:50 Construction. Yes. Bechtel. Bechtel, rebuilding. The big boys. Economic hitmen, indeed, yes. Go in there, you set them up with the economic hitmen, you go in, you make them take out some loans, you build, build, build, it's all good for us. Now do you think that they, I believe Istanbul would be kept intact. Well, it's pretty rubbly now. I mean, it's uh... But it would be quite a shame. I mean, I've seen... Oh, no, they're going to start blowing up St. Sophia and the big mosque, the blue mosque. I hope not. I mean, that's too pretty. It'll be in the areas over where the Kurds are. Okay. Right. All right. So, um, Turkey, rubble. Any other benefits to the rubble? That is the benefit. Construction.

1:56:39 You know, we can rebuild these places and it'll just, you know, it's got to be money in the bank for years. Speaking of which... I'm gonna show my support by donating to No Agenda. Imagine all the people who could do that. Oh yeah, that'd be fab. well we reach our minimum today it and then you'll air like a hundred thirty three dollars was burned pennsylvania uh... sense of check jit yuppie you'd hood in the capital of the line let's try that again you know that it'll end up he'll lose you have to he'll who'd in out a long the in out the long dot it best journalists in the universe now fording cover journalist dot com

Greg Kutner, I don't know, we play the jingle anymore? Yes, but she actually, I was just reading the rest of her notes. She said, please give credit to my husband, Justin Gearing, in celebration of his 40th birthday from your MILF. MILF. Okay, and then it's time 69 Although I think that you know you've you've fudged a little and have kind of made it look like Like it's okay, but I think the streak has been broken and it's just over but okay We started new streak and we break the record

She's not can't do it Stan Salsbury Can I just say something about that? So numerous people here in Los Angeles who kind of know what we do, but of course never listen. They've said, wow man, you know, with everything that's happening, your show must be great. Yeah. And then here's the next thing they say, oh my God, this is people who seriously do not listen and they only tolerate me because Mickey, you know, that's why. There's Mickey and then they tolerate me.

1:59:14 Oh my god, this NSA thing, you were telling me, this is what you've been talking about for years. You were right, it turns out you were right. That's how far behind they are. Who are these people? Yeah, they're the Hollywood people.

2:01:08 Gary Wiley says specifically, John, I enjoy the show. I'm a retired World Airways pilot. How far back does that go? That goes way back. And I've been following you, John, for about 30 years. Wow. And I flew world once. I don't think of it. I don't even remember world airways. The best one though was I think it was called they might have the wrong quite not quite the right name but it was called People's Express. No it was People's Express and we also had Braniff remember that? yeah branded the front of the flying colors of brand but people's express was the most interesting and they got big i job wasn't it was you know the original southwest idea kind of no no no no no no southwestern around for a long time uh... and southwest actually stole their ideas from mom uh... psa pacific south southwest p s specific south some they were they psa had the best

2:02:11 model and they're the early progenitors of Southwest. Okay. Same ideas and the same sense of humor and they do comedy acts when they read the warnings and stuff. No, People's Express if you recall was a fleet of 747s that flew coast to coast. Oh, that's right. Very much like When I fly Grand Am Airways. Oh yeah, I don't know Grand Am. Yeah, they had 727s that were all first class. I remember, yeah. But anyway, so this was a 747 and I don't even know if it had two classes, I don't remember, but I do remember a lot of things about it because I flew it a number of times. It was dirt cheap. The people working there were great and they, I think, are the ones who invented selling you food.

2:03:03 good work and it was it was a funny colored scheme it was like brown and white or something very interesting but people's express and they got screwed by the government anyway uh... joshua mandel greenberg south carolina sixty six thirty three and then fifty bucks from anthony rodriguez in wainsboro virginia andrew haverson in gravenhurst ontario michael gates in colorado springs comes in monthly good chris ronald pings doll uh... in norway another norway way jetson noel and oxford mississippi

2:03:42 nice little place Josh McDonald in Brunswick Victoria Canada Australia yeah sorry and finally Kyle Bauer Philip Meason and Gustavo Patai is in Jamaica New York Jamaica New York which is a good place to live I should mention that Philip Meason is in POWS short list people Yeah, very short list. We'd appreciate a little more help. We'd like more Sacks of Sixes for our sixth anniversary coming up. Just in general, a little more help for Sunday would be appreciated. A reminder that this is the only way that we keep the show on the air. We don't take any advertising, certainly no sponsored content. New York Times wrote about that after we talked about it on this show. Did you see the whole column? I wrote a whole column about it because I ran into one of these things. This was a couple weeks ago before we started talking about it.

2:04:37 I ran into was unmatchable. Somebody had written a thing about some Panasonic camera and it was just it was presented as editorial. It was just a promotion for the camera. Well it turns out like that the Atlantic, I didn't even know this, and some of these other companies they actually allow the advertising companies access to their CMS, their content management system, So that they can just place these stories and they got busted on it because they had the and this was around the time that the anti Scientology book was coming out by the guy who lives in in Austin coincidentally and and Scientology, you know, there was this whole article about I think was about their Their schools or something, but it was obviously an an ad and it was marked as advertising You know, it says it in little tiny words at the top. I

2:05:27 But these these like BuzzFeed and Slate magazine and I think salon I'm not 100% sure but everyone's gonna be doing Forbes they have open access to the content management system so that the advert of the agencies can go in with written sponsored content for their clients and Place it on the website. Yeah So, needless to say, that's not how we operate. This is the beginning of the end. Yeah, but this is not how we operate. I mean, journalism's bad enough, they're not paying anybody any money. They don't put, you know, very rare that anyone does a report that's halfway interesting, and I'll play one for you, which is from Al Jazeera, which does have some money.

2:06:12 it's just totally corrupted. But of course most of these organizations, the big newspapers in particular, when they started cutting back, people stopped liking their products so they started cutting back. I've always said this, if your product starts to lose, if people lose interest in your product, improve your product, change your product, just don't start cutting back. So that's what they all did. They said, oh, let's just fire all the reporters. It's not like we're going to make any money. Meanwhile, they keep all these middle managers who are just useless, which they did with all the, I mean, Hearst papers, local papers, the San Francisco exam. You sound like a pissed off journalist kind of in a way.

2:06:51 I am a pissed off journalist. I'm not a journalist, I'm a writer. But just beside the point, I have sympathy for these people. Sorry. And I really hate the corruption aspect of it. I'm a writer, not a journalist. I'm telling you, it's the corruption that bothers me the most. I mean, when we do this show, we're always digging stuff up that nobody bothers writing. But the main thing is because you read legislation, which I think is the key to success of this show, and nobody even does that. They cut back on their hours, they make them write more. But honestly John, you know, how hard is it? I mean how hard look I'm a I'm a disc jockey and all and I read I hear a story about some chemical weapons and I'm just Jack when you when you go on a tirade am I playing music in the background I'm gonna turn you down I'm not going on a tirade I'm not going on a feel sorry for me thing oh all I wanted I'm not feeling sorry all I wanted to say is how can the journalist like you're saying oh they're cutting back on their hours bullcrap it took me four

2:07:54 40 minutes to read the UN chemical weapons report and just a clear head because I don't do drugs I should but I don't do drugs anymore a clear head and I'm like well hold on a second. This is strange Where's the 1500 dead people? Where's the samples from them? It's not it's not like rocket science, and then I don't you know and of course I'm not a writer which I'm not so instead of going like Tweeting out some bogative story. I'll just hold it for this show and I bring it up on the show and everyone goes Oh, hey, that's interesting and you can go back and you look at the source material It actually is for download in our show notes, which we get no props for

2:08:36 No, we actually don't get enough credit for that. An undervalued service, an incredibly undervalued service. The show notes, the people who finally discover them and use them and appreciate them, realize what they're worth. It's a goldmine of interesting stuff. Alright. Anyway, so that's... If I was a student in school today, and I wanted to be a contrarian, have a little fun with the professors and the other students, I would be all over our show notes. Yeah, well the students are, actually. In fact, I got it just to round out our donation segment. I got a very nice note. Let me see Which apparently didn't make it into my? All right, but you did get a nice note that's all I got a nice note from someone who was a student and is supporting us with $5 a month. That was the nice note, which I can't find and

2:09:23 Anyway, we don't so we don't take sponsored content which by the way is five grand a pop if we were to do it That's on the low side. That's that that is just low-end Like low-hanging fruit, which we could take and I can imagine if we did it embedded in our show We could ask for more. But of course, I don't know how we'd manage it I think it'd be fun to do what just do a fake one to see how it would sound see if we can slip it in if no one will figure it out. It's like hey John I was reading about this new camera oh yeah you know I got a new Canon cameras the damn this thing you this thing just shoots like nobody's business how many pixels I always used to like these other cameras but the Canon I now I'm all I'm all in that's interesting great camera yeah you have the specs in front of you because I think people would be interested in the specs 40 megapixels isn't that better than something like that you're better than the bigger the better and the more the better isn't that better than the

2:10:21 Windows Phone? The Windows Phone! Well you know, did we get paid to talk about them? Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. Oh yes, yes the Windows Phone. Oh that thing on the Nokia? Unbelievable! 41 megapixels? You know what they have for their new idea of Zoom? No, you just shoot a 41 megapixel picture and then you just crop out the little piece in the middle that you know and I love that commercial with all the parents who are fighting to get their kids of while they're on their stage and the cool parents have the Windows phone and best commercial ever. It's a great commercial and you know, I saw that and

2:11:00 In the hotel here at the Sunset Hyatt in Sunset Boulevard, Hollywood, California. I love the Hyatt! They don't call it the Riot Hyatt for nothing, John. Have you ever been to those park Hyatts? There's so many people. They're fabulous! You know, Telly Savalas used to be a greeter at that Hyatt. I loved it when Telly was still alive. Anyway, that's what our show would sound like if we don't get a better response from the listeners. Everybody take off your tinfoil hats. Here comes some direct-to-your-brain programming. Dvorak.org slash N-A- It's your birthday, birthday, on Nova Chingis! Sir Craig Mnamona congratulates himself, he turns 34 and we say happy birthday to him as well along with, well, Miltie Michelle Gearing congratulates her husband Justin Gearing, he turns 40 and I'm sure she's got a little surprise in store for him if you know what I mean. And Stan Salisbury congratulates himself, he turns swazzle-nuff on Saturday the 21st.

2:12:01 Happy birthday from all your buddies here at the best podcast in the universe! And we have one nighting which we're very happy to do. This is nice. We haven't had one in... Oh man, how long has it been? It's been weeks I think. It's been a while. I brought my... Thank you. You got yours. I brought mine. I already have mine. I've just been in the house. I got mine here. Stephen said Chuck, step forward my friend and kneel before the council. As you are about to enter the very elite club of the Knights of the No Agenda Roundtable, so I hereby pronounce thee Sir Savchuk!

2:12:39 I think he wanted to be knight of New Jersey, which we'll give to him. Congratulations my friend! For you, hot pants and booze, long haired heavy metal guys with scotch, hookers and blow, wenches and beer, rubenesque women and rosé, geishas and sake, vodka and vanilla, bong hits and bourbon, sparkling cider, nesquirts and mutton and mead. And you know what I thought? I was just gonna say, to wrap it up, go to noagenonation.com slash rings If you believe that you are due a ring for the round table of knights ordained, that is also for you. NoahGeneration.com slash rings. By the way, I also thought about the Miss America thing and then this is from New Jersey and they jobbed her by eliminating her right away. Usually these competitions, they do a favor to the hosting state.

2:13:29 Yeah. They leave the woman in the competition at least until the final 10 before they kick her out. You know why? No, no, there's only one reason because otherwise the crowd becomes disinterested. Yeah, you have to keep your girl in. Yeah, because when they announced... Yeah, so this show was very poorly organized, poorly done, it was poorly produced. Backlighting, I couldn't believe that one. They didn't even have front, you know, some spots to put on the women. John, it's okay. It's okay. Sorry, we made a mistake. A great show, by the way, is Dexter. And I would like to say a big in the morning to the writers on Dexter who clearly are listening to the best podcast in the universe. We welcome you to the show, gentlemen and ladies. And we would like some hats. Yeah. Some baseball caps that say Dexter. Let me play the clip. Let me play the clip before you start asking for swag. This is another one of those sponsored content deals, John. Get with it. No Prince, no choice.

2:14:27 Oh man, I could go for some hookers and some blow right now. But since this isn't the 90s, I think it is. Come on man! No one uses that but us. Well I mean they used to like 25 years ago. Oh come on. The writers on Dexter are 12. They can't be, they don't know what they're talking about. I agree, they're not very old. Okay well we're expecting some swag from these guys. We want some hats. Hats? Send Dexter some hats please. So, uh, we have so um, we have I do have some clips of I have to say Al Jazeera. They they do have what's her name? Stop before you say anything, you know the building on sunset I'm gonna say it's the It may be the Mondrian Hotel or whatever is next to it You know how they have those banners that are the entire side of the building. Yeah, Al Jazeera America Uh-huh

2:15:24 Well, see that or Scientology in that neck of the woods. Uh yeah, yeah true. So uh... So uh... So uh... So Soledad showed up. Oh, Soledad O'Brien, she showed up on Al Jazeera? Yeah, they sent... she's a field reporter now. Oh cool. And they sent her all the hot spots. So they sent her to Haiti. Oh my favorite. How's Haiti doing? Do they still have cholera? I think, and by the way she's acting funny now. They had her on a remote shot and she's wiggling her head too much. She's getting, I don't know what kind of coaching she's getting. It's Haldol. It's Haldol. Well whatever it is, she doesn't seem too pleased about what's going on in Haiti and she blasts everybody. Now I've got four clips. They're all very interesting but play the home clip first and then we'll go from there. Okie dokie. Of our missions overseas, it's setting a very poor precedent.

2:16:20 About 30 kilometers from Karai is a settlement that's supposed to be part of the solution to the housing crisis here. It's one of several settlements built with money from USAID. Brightly colored houses in neatly laid out rows, paved roads. So far, the 156 homes are uninhabited. There are plans to move people in in the fall. This That town is the tip of the iceberg for what's gone wrong in Haiti and a microcosm of what's happened to the money. Launched in April of 2010 by USAID, the idea behind the new settlements program was to build 15,000 permanent houses that would benefit between 75,000 and 90,000 displaced refugees.

2:17:06 The total price tag at the time, $59 million. By 2012, the cost had spiraled to $95 million. USAID had to drop the number of houses to be built by more than 80%. Instead of 15,000 houses, they'd only build around 2,600. How did this happen? A report from the Government Accountability Office published in June blamed inaccurate cost estimates and requests from the Haitian government. They wanted bigger rooms, electricity, water and flush toilets. Then there were the foreign contractors and their high overhead costs. There's no real control of costs built into the system.

2:17:52 And so the money will go to the contractors, they will skim some of that money away and then often they will then turn around and find subcontractors. Sometimes you can have several levels of contracting before you actually have implementation. This becomes enormously costly. Wait a minute, wait a minute. So Soledad O'Brien gets canned from CNN for low ratings and you know not playing the political game because we like her Soledad but she didn't play the game. So when Zucker came in you know she's like she was irritating and annoying and she gets in everyone's face and doesn't play the game. Then she takes a break, a sabbatical as it's known in show business, listens to our show and then does this? I mean hello where would she might as well say Bill Clinton snorted all the money.

2:17:06 The total price tag at the time, $59 million. By 2012, the cost had spiraled to $95 million. USAID had to drop the number of houses to be built by more than 80%. Instead of 15,000 houses, they'd only build around 2,600. How did this happen? A report from the Government Accountability Office published in June blamed inaccurate cost estimates and requests from the Haitian government. They wanted bigger rooms, electricity, water and flush toilets. Then there were the foreign contractors and their high overhead costs. There's no real control of costs built into the system.

2:17:52 And so the money will go to the contractors, they will skim some of that money away and then often they will then turn around and find subcontractors. Sometimes you can have several levels of contracting before you actually have implementation. This becomes enormously costly. Wait a minute, wait a minute. So Soledad O'Brien gets canned from CNN for low ratings and you know not playing the political game because we like her Soledad but she didn't play the game. So when Zucker came in you know she's like she was irritating and annoying and she gets in everyone's face and doesn't play the game. Then she takes a break, a sabbatical as it's known in show business, listens to our show and then does this? I mean hello where would she might as well say Bill Clinton snorted all the money.

2:18:41 It comes close in one of these clips. So, do the math on this. They were going to do 15,000 houses for $59 million. Right. the estimate went to ninety five million which they could afford but they wanted flush toilets so the estimate went to ninety five million and so they had to do an eighty percent cut back on the output so in other words to do it was more than half of that makes those numbers make no sense you don't go to eighty there's no difference fifty nine to ninety five is not an eighty percent kind of jump

2:19:21 unless you do skewed math. So you don't go from 15,000 to 26,000. That doesn't make any sense and then they only billed 156. Where's all this money going? Well, we know that USA... We've done the reporting on this, John. We have the reports. We've talked about it extensively. The billions of dollars and let us remember that we all felt so good. We changed our Twitter icons. We called the... We talked to Reidh Wizard Spoon. We watched the concert. The concert. Oh, and it was like, oh, we're helping with Clooney.

2:19:58 That was the one that did him in, if anything. Whoa. Whoa. That sounds weird. Is that me? Yeah. Let me check. One, two, one, two, one, two. That's what I think that loose connection is. Okay, well, let's move on to the pathetic school story because it's not just USAID that's at fault. Listen to this cold blooded story. Without help from his mother, McKenzie managed to build a school here with 700 children. En anglais. In English, papa. Mackenzie's school survived the earthquake, but not the aftermath. We were forced to leave in order to turn the schoolyard into a parking lot. A UN agency rented the property from Mackenzie's landlord and his school became a parking lot.

2:20:46 So now McKenzie teaches dozens of children in a tiny makeshift classroom. What makes it... Hey kids, your school's gonna become a parking lot! Wow! Welcome to Haiti. How's your cholera doing, kids? Alright, nice. Alright, let's play this little... It's just unbelievable, this stuff. We're here, play this one. This is the good news at the end of the story. This is the Bush-Clinton clip. I don't have it. Haiti's scandalous Bush- you should have it. Ah, sorry. Yes, I have it. It's a little tough to see here. The international aid has brought small pockets of development. The Clinton Bush Haiti fund invested two million dollars to build this 45 million dollar five-star hotel, the Oasis. The fund says the project created 200 jobs.

2:21:38 But according to the UN, Haiti's unemployment has nearly doubled since the earthquake. It now stands at a staggering 90%. Let me just remember, let's go back in time. We just need cash. I know a lot of people want to send blankets or water. Just send your cash. Oh yes, just send your cash. There they were and we were all in on it, weren't we? Wow. Yeah. Yeah. Story's pathetic. We played the last clip which is the USAID homeless clip. Yeah, okay, and then I'm thoroughly depressed. USAID declined repeated requests for an interview. On its website, the agency claims some progress in Haiti. 65,000 households helped with temporary shelters or repairs. Land tenure rights for more than 10,000 plots of land in an effort to get victims back into their homes. But that's a drop in the bucket for Haiti's homeless.

2:22:34 Today, aid agencies say approximately 300,000 people in Port-au-Prince still live in deplorable conditions in camps. Families crammed into tiny shelters made out of tarps and scraps of wood. This one, called Camp 54, sits in a middle-class suburb. There are 5,000 people living on the streets here. Yeah, that crap depresses me and no one really knows about it. I'm glad that SoloDad's reporting on it and it sounds like this is, I guess, meant to be anti-US propaganda somehow, but it's... She's not really doing a great job if that's what it's for. I mean, are they just trying to do real actual reporting on this Al Jazeera thing? My experience so far is that yes. It's not like RT. RT is just completely out of control. Yeah.

2:23:27 Then they're doing actual reporting. I think they want to make inroads and take some of the business away from Fox. They're in between Fox and CNN on a lot of this stuff. And they're doing stories like this, which nobody else is doing anymore. We just, yeah, whatever. I did my part. I texted 1010 and my 10 bucks went over there. It went in somebody's pockets. So I did you know there was also there was also a moment of total clarity on What is the Canadian broadcaster? CBC is that it CBC BBC they had this report and of course this relates to climate change and we have you know The new IPCC report number five coming out and it's very embarrassing because you know the Arctic

2:24:11 Ice shelf is increased by 60% and so everyone has to you know scream at everybody and tell them you're crazy It's an average and this is what happens with science and you know shut up already and they had a moment of clarity about what's happening with government funding of science that blew me away was kind of snuck into this report where these scientists are protesting and they're out there, they're like, you know, hey, we have to figure out a different way of funding a lot of our research other than the way it's currently being done because we're being restricted. The federal government has cut funding for everything from freshwater research to climate change and scientists say they're being muzzled, told not

2:24:54 to talk to the public or even colleagues. The information that is collected by scientists is not getting out there in the public space. And that means that Canadians are uninformed about important scientific issues. An example, research on melting Arctic ice. An American scientist who worked on the study says he was told by the Canadian government to sign a gag order. Andreas Munchau refused, but he's now wary of working on Canadian projects. It's much easier right now, from my perspective, to work with people in Denmark, in Germany, in Norway, in Iceland. Brazil.

2:25:37 He says they have proof of a policy to control scientists, especially those doing research into climate change and the effects of oil and gas development. The Federal Information Commissioner is now investigating. If a scientist shares the knowledge that they've gained with taxpayer-funded research, they can be fired. And we're saying that that's a remarkable threat to democracy. Yeah, I'd say so. The science is in! I'd say so, yeah. the sciences and ninety eight percent of americans agree the science is a ninety seven point five percent of all scientists agree on the side of gag order this is terrible yes it is a good year's and it let me point out a little interest what's really going on including in the journalistic community we have what i call associative propaganda uh... which is where you put

2:26:33 you list a bunch of facts that everyone knows are facts and they kind of all agree on except, you know, a few people on the real fringes. And then you throw in your little zingers. Here's an article on creationists once again threatened to make mockery of Texas science education by Paul Plate. And this showed up in one of the news services. And let me just read the first graph. Let me get this out of the way immediately. The Earth is more than 4 billion years old. Evolution is real and is the basis for all modern understanding of biology. Climate change is happening and humans are causing it! And what is the story after that? Who cares what the story is after that? It goes on about how there's a bunch of fundamentalists in Texas, your neck of the woods, that are trying to

2:27:24 You know, make evolution kind of a theory and God really created the... you know, it's a bunch of religious guys. And so this goes on in Texas constantly. But to throw this little zinger in there has got nothing to do with anything. Climate change is happening. Shut up already! Science! That's just the positioning. It's how it's done these days. It's how it's... ugh. It's annoying. It's very annoying. We always get email from... we have listeners who are all in on climate change being human, not being a cycle, not being a sunspot cycle, not being anything that's ever happened before. It's all new. All based on a very small percentage of CO2 being added to the loading that's already out there. And they pound us. They're pounding the public with this stuff. And if there are gag orders involved, it's a problem.

2:28:18 Well it is, and it's apparently happening in Canada and I'm sure it's happening elsewhere. Oh I'm sure it's happening here. I'm sure it went into a place that has got a lot of government funding for climate change research. That's what this is all about by the way. You come in there and you're a skeptic? You're not getting any work? No. Go look at the, also go look at the funding You can look at the NIH and there's all kinds of places you can look for government grants and take a look at the grants that are available for proving man-made climate change and global warming. There's not any grants for disproving it? If there was only a grant for proving global cooling we'd be in. It's just not there. And that of course is I'm all on board with the global cooling because I'm a kid from the 70s so I'm sticking with it.

2:29:08 Some of the coolers are sticking with it too. The new king of the Netherlands... Where I grew up, and I know a lot about it, I speak the language fluently. You know, after 33 years, oops, we have a king, the queen abdicated, and King Willem-Alexander, known as Prince Pils, he was the beer prince. Prince is a beer drinker? Oh yeah, he had to retire his beer, his barstool. Yes, he's known as Prince Pils. There's a couple other names that he's known by. But he has a smoking hot wife who is now Queen Maxima. She's from Argentina. You should Google her, John, because she is the distraction of the millennium.

2:29:57 And, you know, anyone would want her as queen. She's just fantastic. Sexy, Maxima. Even the name. Maxima? Like Maximum Magazine? Yeah, like Maximum Magazine with an A. Maxima. Oh, she's very pretty. She's smoking. Nice... Yes, nice everything. Nice everything. And she's the kind of queen you want. So he becomes king and on the third Tuesday in September, which was this past week, is when the budget is presented to the kingdom, to the subjects of the kingdom, and the king or the queen, but now the king, and I've only seen queens do it in my lifetime, but now we have the king, gives a speech to the nation. And he tells everyone what's going down. And quite a shocker,

2:30:53 Now we know that the Netherlands is in the middle of, I would call it a depression, although I think legally by the definition it may not be a depression, it may be only a recession. But I think that it is so dire straits. I know that there's a lot of joblessness and there's a lot of problems. And the Dutch are very good at covering up their problems. They don't like to talk about it. I know there's a lot of borrowing going on, a lot of people in super debt. But people can't, literally can't buy food. And the Netherlands is a socialist country by nature. And the king comes out and says, and I have a translated quote which I checked against the original, I think it's pretty accurate. The classic welfare state of the second half of the 20th century in these areas in particular, which is medical and joblessness, brought forth arrangements that are unsustainable in their current form.

2:31:53 And he now speaks of the participation state. So we've gone from the welfare state to the now necessary participation society, which the King says has been on its way for some time. It will benefit unemployment compensation and subsidies on health care that have regularly been pruned over the past decade as the retirement age has been raised to 67. The king said some costs for the care of the elderly, for youth services and job retraining after layoffs will now be pushed back to the local level in order to make them better tailored towards local circumstances. In other words, the cradle is gone. No more safety net for you. The socialism thing did not work out. And this has shocked, shocked the nation.

2:32:57 I would think so, but didn't they see this coming? Well I think economists saw it coming, but you know what's interesting in this case is that this is a socialist system with a monarchy. and socialist as in, you know, if you lose your job, you receive, I think for the first, and I could be wrong on this, I'm paraphrasing, I believe for the first year, 75% of your last paycheck, and it goes down subsequently from there. But I mean, just the fact that you're receiving a paycheck anywhere near equal to what you were making, just because you lost your job is a foreign concept in the United States as an example.

2:33:42 But this is kind of the system everyone got accustomed to. And if you became ill, then you know, you would also, your, your, your, the money would just kind of keep going. And the health care system just kind of worked. And now all of that is essentially shutting down. And the king is passing on the message, which is coming from Parliament. He's saying, you know, y'all got to get in the game. Everybody has to participate. You know, you got one leg, one arm, I'm sorry, bitch, you got to work. No more sitting at home. Yeah, that would all be fine and good if there were jobs available that weren't in China. Yeah, well this of course is the actual problem, but it was a stunning, a stunning speech, I would say.

2:34:27 for the Netherlands and probably just the beginning of changes. Is he a dynamic speaker? No, and he has a horrible suit. I mean, for as much as I love Maximus. What happened to his wife dressing? I know, that's what I'm saying. It's unbelievable. She's like a fashion icon apparently. Yes, I think she just makes him want to look like crap. And she's running him. She's the handler, it's obvious. She's definitely a personality. You can see that coming. Meanwhile, Herr Schoble German finance minister has said that everything is great, the eurozone is back, the euro skeptics were all wrong, ignore the doomsayers, Europe is fixed. Fixed? Yes, this is what the guy literally said. What is he talking about? What is happening, he says, the fiscal and structural repair work is paying off, laying the foundations for sustainable growth. This has taken critical observers aback.

2:35:25 It should not have because in truth we have seen it all before many times and in many places. Despite what the critics of the European crisis management would have us believe, we live in the real world. This guy's an idiot. So he literally is ignoring double digit like in the 20s unemployment in Greece, 26% unemployment in Spain, 17% in Cyprus, 16% in Portugal. Let's not even talk about the youth unemployment. The youth unemployment is at least 50% in all those places. Yes, 62.9% in Greece specifically, but at least 50% in all those.

2:36:06 you know and and it's funny because uh... the white house before the whole navy yard thing happened they were on this tear celebrating the fifth anniversary of the financial crisis like that like we should have a cake or something all you had paulson is been on every show in the world's got a book coming out what is he showing up for well that if you look at the uh... the white house website they have to have a whole they got a whole thing going on with powerpoint presentations essentially We did great. We brought Obama, brought the country back from the brink, the great recession.

2:36:44 which was the worst economic situation since the great depression. We're doing fantastic, we've got jobs, we've got money, oh and the stock market is booming. Of course that's why this is all timed with the Fed statement of the Bernanke saying we're not going to taper any of the... it's even more than I thought. It's now 85 billion dollars a month that's being created out of thin air. It's propping everything up. It's not being created out of thin air. Yes. And it's only a trillion dollars a year. I think they should jump that number up, personally, but I'm like in a minority here. On this show you're in the minority, yes.

2:37:27 I wouldn't mind trying it but you know this this slow I mean then do something big till Larry Summers drops out we still don't know why something happened there. I I know it's pretty obvious what happened. Why? The Democrats in the in the House Finance Committee or the committee that bank I don't know which committee it calls or approves these guys before they put them to the Senate. The printing press committee. The printing press committee. For the Democrats, they already knew they were going to get in trouble because the Republicans are going to make it difficult for everybody. And they already said, hey, we don't want this guy. He's a little too inside. He's a little too, you know, buddies of Obama. And he falls asleep.

2:38:06 and they said that we're gonna vote no and then before they polled anybody else I mean they just said, Sommer said look this is going to be a hassle for me and it will be And he just said no and Janet Yellen will waltz right through the proceedings. Well I hope so because you know I love nothing but I want Janet Yellen to be running the Fed, I want Hillary Clinton to be our president so in five or six years I can finally say to all the feminists I know, I'm like see how'd that work out for you? It doesn't make any difference if it's man or woman they're all elitist pricks.

2:38:44 Yep, all of them. So yeah, we're gonna get Janet Yellen who we know is going to keep right on course now Have you heard by the way, you ever see a picture of her? Yeah, we're like guard. Oh By the way, blue guard is at all these meetings with the president We have meetings of like, you know our cabinet and our finance fire financial guys and she's there all the time I see her in every single picture She shouldn't be there. No, I agree. So I just wanted to throw this one thing out there. This is a wacky theory and I'll end with this. This is a theory that I picked up and it's being called the road to ruta. And you're gonna have to read the rotor. Router? Not the rotor, the road to ruta. R-O-O-T-A.

2:39:37 And this is based on a comic that the Federal Reserve published twice in its history, once in the 70s and again in the late 80s. And it's this magical story of these little people who live underground in a gray, black and white world. and nothing, they're about six inches tall and they have no color in their life until they find this little hole that leads up to the surface and there they find flowers and golden sunlight and they bring a flower in and everyone loves the flower because it's red and then you know they want more but a landslide closed up the hole

2:40:19 This is seriously a cartoon on the Federal Reserve website and I have the links. And it gets better. But then the flower starts to die but it drops three seeds and they plant the seeds and then they have three flowers. And it's supposed to teach children somehow about how you can bring color into your life. By planting seeds a whole green shoots by being a banker by being a banker exactly yeah And say and they redid this cartoon. There's all kinds of people the the road to root of theorists theorists have looked, have taken this entire cartoon apart in the two, it's two publications, because certain words are emboldened, certain are highlighted, there's all kinds of numbers and stuff. And the theory, I'm paraphrasing, but the theory is that actually the Federal Reserve has recognized its mistakes and has a way

2:41:18 to re-institute a gold standard, and this is all explained through these two, like the comic books, their code explaining how it's going to be done, and apparently the introduction of the new $100 bill is what is going to be the big change, and all of the symbolism that is involved on the new $100 bill. You've seen the new $100 bill, right? I have seen the new hundred dollar bill. I don't have one. I don't think they've been released yet. They have not but there's a couple links in the show notes and you'll see so we have Benjamin Franklin. There's a blue line that goes right down the middle and on the left hand side is where you have the Federal Reserve seal. You have the kind of the old

2:42:03 uh... number one hundred is all black and white on the right hand side is that there's the inquiry isn't in quail that is made of gold the uh... than the number one hundred is made of gold there's a new there's a uh... a different seal on the right hand side is all kinds of watermarks it's a very interesting and i'm looking at it now but it's a bit of very interesting on the backside one hundred is in gold yet exactly But if you look up the Road to Ruda theory, it's a very interesting theory, and what I like about it the most is that the theory actually says that the Federal Reserve, who we've learned is our biggest enemy, they are the ones that are going to try and save us by putting America back on a new gold standard. So I really love this theory.

2:42:53 And I suggest bull crap of course. There's a lot of weird things in the $100 bill. The new one is very interesting. And you say bull crap, go take a look at this cartoon. I'll look at the cartoon and I'll read the thing in nine yards. This bill's not made out of plastic though like the Canadians have done. No, you can still do lines of coke with this without having to watch it go up. Right, and that's all important. Well, I believe if you... Why would anybody use a hundred for that? So, but they do. No, I don't think that... I think if you look at all American money, like something like some obscene number like 70 or 80 percent has residue of cocaine on it. I know, it's got cocaine traces. And it's probably the one dollar bills, it's not the 100s. Actually, one time, every so often I buy a bundle... Of coke? I buy a bundle of bills, I buy a bundle of twos, and it costs $200 because a bundle is a hundred bills.

2:43:56 So if you wanted to buy a bundle of $100 bills, it'd cost you $10,000. So, so, um, so, anyway, I get this, I get this bundle of bills. Usually I get, they're all brand new, generally. But one time I got a bunch of used ones and I think the Fed does is, yeah, these bills are fine. So I go through the bundle of bills and like half of them literally are all folded in that funny way that they like to deliver drugs. Remember that fold is some sort of like an origami thing? It's folded and folded. No, because I'm a weed guy. We just take a trash bag. There's some fold that they do and they sell you the bill. It's like a dollar or whatever. These are two dollar bills and it's got a bunch of drugs inside. I don't know how they do it.

2:44:40 So I... You're blowing your cover, man. But I... So I believe that the... I don't really know how it works, but... I don't! So I take the bills back and say, these bills, it's the first time I've ever returned bills. These bills are no good! I showed him all these folded up bills. I said, these have all been used for drug dealers. And they go, oh my God, I can't believe the Fed... Oh, wow. The Fed has been... these bills back into circulation but anyway that's my story. Yeah, yeah, okay. It's not quite as entertaining as your hundred dollar bill with the road to ruin or whatever that is. Road to ruder. Yeah, road, road to ruder. Okay, hey you know what it's my job to bring this when I see it and I read through it I'm like okay this is interesting there's a you know there's a lot of symbolism. I'm gonna read it myself and see what

2:45:32 and where the flaws are but it is a little peculiar looking at the new hundred with all the gold references to gold on the front of the bill they got a pot of gold they got a hundred in gold gold color and then this is something like somebody's finger pointing down from god is pointing at something and said that's kind of in gold and then on the back it's a hundred dollar the nomenclature which is a weird way they've done it in the back by the way but i think that's I think I can see the reason for it, but yeah still the Canadian plastic dollar seems to be I'm more like that. All right, and then finally just in the f-russia f-obama camp of course we have McCain's op-ed in Pravda, and I got an interesting note from

2:46:24 Remember our so, you know, we dissected the the so-called anti gay You can't be homosexual in Russia law and then we had we found it to be Bogota right and you actually looked at it I actually read it and I had Trenton three different translations made so Brian our Brian, our gay crusader, who's a, I think he's a lawyer, he went to, he tried to disprove us because he felt that it was, you know, he was being wronged as a gay man and little did he know that I of course am half gay. And he came back and so he read the McCain op-ed which included a line, let me see,

2:47:06 So Brian sent me an email here it is part of McCain's op-ed. It is curious that one of America's most homophobic This is this is what Brian is writing It is curious that one of America's most homophobic anti-gay legislators would include this gem in his commentary quote they write laws to codify bigotry against people whose sexual orientation they condemn and So Brian says, my failed effort to prove Adam wrong about the Russian propaganda laws allowed me to gain a deep understanding of this law and can honestly state that enforcement of individual violations will be as minimal as in its importance ranks a little bit above jaywalking and a bit below littering.

2:47:52 The endless stream of false reporting and propaganda from English language media and elected officials and the fact that as far as I can determine I have the only complete translation of the law and the law in context caused me to re-examine the law to determine the motivation for this messaging about Russia when US media and politicians turned a blind eye to the fact that in Saudi Arabia homosexuality is punishable by death. Very good point. Our gatekeepers say they're blind. The answer is simple. Corporations, entertainment companies, media conglomerates who violate the propaganda law will be subject to a fine of 1 million rubles which is currently $31,647 or administrative suspension of activity for up to 90 days for each violation.

2:48:42 If one considers how many violations 1G or PG rated Hollywood movie might contain, it is obvious that there is a great potential for this to be a strong revenue stream for the Russian Federation. So I think Brian has done us quite a service here. Wow! Yeah, in his quest to prove me, the half gay man, wrong by actually figuring out that this is Putin's way of saying screw you America, which of course, what are we? We're basically Hollywood. So every, think about it, every TV show, every movie, any DVD, anything that comes into Russia that includes any quote-unquote depiction of alternative lifestyles to children is in violation. Yeah, genius analysis. Great analysis, isn't it? That's our audience, ladies and gentlemen. Well, this is what happens, by the way, when you fall into the rabbit hole.

2:49:38 You all of a sudden say, that has nothing going on, this guy's full of crap, I'm gonna prove him wrong and then boom, you're down in there. And the next thing you know, it's like, holy crap, this guy's not wrong, but this is even a bigger story than that. Isn't it great? Yeah, no, that's what our audience can do. That's right. So thank you very much. Just think of the show for a few... That's right. That's right. Producer Brian, the gay crusader, we should give him a cape. Already has a cape But asked to have like a pink triangle with with gay GC gay crusader here to save the universe from putin And save us from McCain really while you're at it. Oh

2:50:21 Alright everybody, thank you very much for checking in. Please do consider us with your donations for the Sunday show. They're always light and the list was short today so we do want... we'd want you to help. I think we deserve some of your help for the analysis we've given you today and for the trouble we went through to bring you the show. And I'll be back on Sunday. It'll be a long night for me because we land Saturday evening. So I'll be prepping throughout the night. I want to mention that October 28th is the next key date in the six-week cycle. Right on. And so, some time before that, and coincidentally, as I mentioned in the newsletter, for those of you who actually read it, it's coincidental with our sixth anniversary. Six weeks to go.

2:51:05 Santa, what could be better? That's right. Send us a sack of sixes, will you? Coming to you from Hollywood, the People's Republic of Southern California in the morning, I'm Adam Curry. Hello? John? John? Go ahead, hit it. You can't hear me. I can now. Oh, yeah, I see it's really falling apart actually. And your sins are bad too, but that's beside the point because we're done. I'm John C. Dvorak. We'll talk again on Sunday right here on No Agenda. The best podcast in the universe! Adios, mofo. Someone's getting cornholed today. Sounds like a recipe for success to me.
