About this episode

The Department of Justice released a 41-page memo detailing the legal framework for the targeted killing of Anwar al-Awlaki, sparking a national debate on executive overreach. Speaker of the House John Boehner responded by announcing a lawsuit against the Obama administration, while IRS Commissioner John Koskinen faced intense scrutiny from Representative Trey Gowdy over the spoliation of evidence and missing emails belonging to Philip North. These developments highlight a growing tension between federal agencies and legislative oversight.

Secondary stories include the Environmental Protection Agency's reported computer crash during the Pebble Mine investigation and the Supreme Court's landmark ruling requiring warrants for cell phone searches, despite an exigent circumstances loophole. In international news, Secretary of State John Kerry visited Baghdad as ISIS seized border crossings at At Tanf and Abu Kamal, prompting Senator Dianne Feinstein to warn of passport terrorists returning to the West. Meanwhile, the Polish government remains destabilized by the Radoslaw Sikorski tape scandal, and Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer faces criticism for habitual tardiness during high-stakes meetings with WPP and Omnicom executives.

Distinctive moments include a technical breakdown of D-Star radio configuration and the introduction of a new deep-indexing search tool for the show developed by Dona Hatton. The hosts also critique the Google IO conference's focus on wearables and the proprietary Gmail API, while noting Vice President Joe Biden's undiplomatic comments regarding German xenophobia. The segment concludes with a look at the federal bee task force and its potential impact on German chemical giant Bayer.

D-Star Radio Configuration, Amateur Radio Licensing

The hosts describe technical difficulties configuring a D-Star ID51 dual-band handheld radio, comparing the process to landing a plane with a wooden leg. They critique the proprietary nature of ICOM's repeater network and the outdated menu structures reminiscent of early Symbian mobile interfaces. Listeners are encouraged to obtain a technician's license to participate in the amateur radio community.

00:00 Give in, citizen. Give in! Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak It's Thursday June 26th 2014 time for your Gidmonation Media Assassination Episode 629er This is no agenda Exploring exigent circumstances here in FEMA Region Six in the Travis Heights Hideout The capital of the drone star state in the morning everybody I'm Adam Curry And from Northern Silicon Valley where he just got off of CSPAN I'm John C. Dvorak Did you say just got off on C-SPAN or just got off C-SPAN? Just got OFF. Oh, okay because... I don't know how anyone could get OFF ON. It could be either one

00:45 Got on C-SPAN. Yeah, everybody we just did a little pre stream and John has got this new voice thing that he's working on Now did you only send me one thing with clips because I got clips one in one thing yes This is very strange to hear your partner yeah? Oh yeah? Hey is my new partner on the show You know I'm so angry at myself oh Yeah, how stupid am I? I'm wondering myself. Yesterday we did an hour of our best material and I didn't record it, and i easily could have recorded it. Oh you mean we could have put that... yeah actually that would have been a good idea! Well I think people would have found it useful just so just imagine John gets his D-Star handheld rig yes and uh it's the ID51 so it's dual band so it's similar to the one I have only it's a little classier because you have two bands and um and I'm now going to

01:46 Talked John through configuring repeaters on D-Star, and it goes something like this. Can you see at the top left hand of the screen? He said I don't know a little black thing but I need a magnifying glass. Do you have one yeah it's in my coat pocket somewhere I don't know what with all the flashlights! I can't find it Okay, it was kind of like I'm in the tower and i'm talking to the stewardess who's going to land the 747 only the stewardess has a wooden leg and cataracts. It was really hilarious! And at certain point I have John walking around the house you know holding up the antennae and left foot in the air

02:29 And then it turned out that I'd completely forgotten the central registration step. We had no chance even to start with, so... Yes did you do that yet? Yeah i did! Did you receive an email about the registration? No Okay well you may or-I don't know yeah It hasn't been approved So its not registered yet because they keyed up a little while ago and didn't say anything No no no it's worse than that there's a register Oh no First you apply is easier to register for the US customs global entry system First you apply to a D-Star administrator and then when they approve you, then you still have to go in and do your little setup. It's horrible. Okay let me ask a couple more dumb questions like the one I asked earlier which is why doesn't it give you an error message if you're not registered? Oh because it's amateur radio! Well... I think the word's appropriate in this regard. You shouldn't say you're not registered or something. It doesn't say anything

03:27 at the repeater. So now, the next thing that came to mind which after we discussed it and I heard we already hung up and I was off in the kitchen, I said to myself wait a minute this handheld device is owned by, well not owned but it's owned by me but as an ICOM device And D-Star is pretty much a proprietary repeater network that ICOM has something to do with, right? ICOM are as far as i know the only major manufacturer who support it. Yeah that's pretty much the only guys who make the radios yes keep going so if you key it the repeater system should be able to look at the ID of the handset and say oh

04:11 It's an ICOM user. He's obviously qualified to be on this network, let's just put him on! John we should be... the Curry-Dvorak consulting group could do a lot uh..to help the ICOM communications group with their issues of configuration it's completely stupid but you know at least when it's done You're like heh not everybody...I'm glad I took the test not everybody can do this Yes there was a number of I think I don't know how things deteriorate so much, but I found it and I mentioned this to you. I don't know if this is gonna bore everybody except a few hams in the audience but I mentioned to you that this reminds me of the way menu structure works as of the earlier Symbian stuff. Yeah, Nokia's oh yeah. Cause you click and says I wanna change my ID and so you hit a button and it says

05:08 You sure? I really yeah, that's why I hit the button in the first place Why do I have to confirm this even that rocker in the middle is just like the the first cell phones Yeah, anyway. You think that's bad? You should try the Yesu interface this is beautiful compared to- Anyway Just so you know please don't email us It's not a proprietary protocol! Don't stop do not We'll never talk about ham stuff again if all you Nazis are gonna start saying it's not proprietary! Don't want that I have enough grief on my email already

05:45 Anyway, I am monitoring reflector 033 Charlie at all times and that's where we hang out That was actually we had a one of the Noah Jenner hams even helping us out into our fa. Yeah to change this step It's like hey, we're Waldo for Statler trying to configure D star it's a nightmare anyway Get your technician's license people. It's no big deal! You really should, it's fun and you too can have fun like us I got a BitTorrent Sync update Ah right Now this is starting to be interesting Well you made it interesting with your complaining... ...you might as well reiterate what that is Well BitTorrent Sync by the branding alone gives you the illusion or impression I'll start by saying that

CHAPTER 02 / 33 Discussion

BitTorrent Sync Limitations, Alternative Media Distribution

BitTorrent Sync is being deprecated as a distribution method for the show due to a 50-client connection limit and lack of unlimited access. A music industry insider suggests the company cannot allow unlimited sharing without implementing intrusive file scanning similar to Dropbox. The show will transition back to using uTorrent and BitLove RSS feeds for decentralized file distribution.

bittorrent sync· dropbox· utorrent· rss feeds· open source· bitlove· file sharing

06:44 a very simple way to create, but to use the BitTorrent magical network... ...to share files. And we have been with some large degree of success up until recently... ..been distributing the No Agenda Show in that fashion in addition to the standard manner And it's really started to break down, and people weren't able to get anything working. The mobile clients started to fade away and not work I have the same problem here A lot of people have been contacting BitTorrent sync support which is great because that's who you should be contacting but they contact me too. Hey! It didn't work what am i doing wrong? Sorry...I'm watching C-SPAN

07:29 And this stuff is beta, so you know we have really have nothing to complain about. We knew that anything could go wrong Now as it turns out there's a limit on these... on BitTorrent sync to 50 clients and at first I thought it was per peer So I could have fifty connected to mine But one of those fifty could have another fifty connected and you would swarm out well Not so Total max continuous connections per... well, they call it secret which is kind of the identifier the string so you can get into this folder. Is 50 So if there's fifty people sucking down the file 51 has to wait until fifty disconnects and a lot of people aren't disconnecting because BitTorrent implies

08:22 that you want to help the network by seeding it. Right So a lot of people are staying connected and so the whole thing breaks down Now, you correctly said, ugh they're going to have a meeting because we're talking about it And indeed They had a meeting! And they came out Although they didn't send it to me They put on their blog A call for alpha testers For BitTorrent Sync We're launching a community testers program To help build future versions of BitTorrent Sync Sync began as an experiment and rethinking the way we manage our files, working with our community. We built a strong alternative to the public cloud blahblahblah Of course they don't ask me The most vocal guy who has an audience that can really do some stuff Now please don't email me about it But I can tell you what's... That this is not going to work for us And it was actually one of our producers who was a music industry insider

09:22 who set me straight really on why this will never work. So let's just look at what BitTorrent has, you have the BitTorrent protocol which works great for large file distribution but you have to download a special client and it is whole another process misunderstood, I thought that BitTorrent Sync was taking the analogy of Dropbox which millions of people understand and applying that to BitTorrent Sync. Which is just a it's really only a user interface change if you think about it but because there's a huge difference when you start when you move towards the Dropbox model and The music business insider said believe me Adam these guys are they cannot their legitimate company they cannot

10:12 Allow people to start sharing files in this manner like and Dropbox they scan your folders now if you've got licensed music in there They detect it, and they'll either lock the folder or remove it Or they'll bust you one way or the other And I think our insider is correct by saying they're never going to maybe okay Maybe we'll do a hundred but don't ever have unlimited access BitTorrent swarm the way BitTorrent works. This is their money-making product, which is great if you're just looking to share files with a couple people in a business environment or with friends and family and not have a drop box in the middle That could be great It's not going to work for us Well there goes the future of distribution well I have some thoughts one People

10:58 When you send me an email and you're going to say look at this sync thing it's not its open source alternative sync thing sync thing This is gonna be great. It's perfect because think thing sync thing which is an open-source product Says, this is an alternative to bit torrent sink and Dropbox and people email me yeah try that out no Is that same guy I don't understand why he keeps pestering you if you read? Three sentences further you'll see that with sync thing you have to authenticate every new user. Listen, I have no time to be authenticating thousands of users this is not going to work however... You're authenticating all day it's just not a two-bit operation Right so we are going to deprecate BitTorrent Sync but i will i would like to point out the following which works very well i tested last night and very hadn't looked at in awhile

11:52 U-Torrent, which is a client...a BitTorrent client. You know u? It's like as the microu sign I just call it uTorrent Yeah, if I'm using microtorrent probably well i call you torn but very Very simplified interface will accept RSS feeds with bit torrents enclosures And we have had for years now through the fine guys over there at BitLove, we have a Bittorrent RSS feed. It's always been on the homepage of all the show notes you know it says hey here is the Bittorrent RSS feed You put that into uTorrent boom! Immediately...it's like all sudden you have a pod catcher it looks kind of looks like iTunes actually even does the album art I don't know how they do that

12:47 And when a new one shows up, you can have it automatically download. And this is the kind of thing that you do want to keep on and seeding because it's really the BitTorrent network now It's not as... unfortunately, it's not as easy as the Dropbox metaphor But of course you could have that download into a BitTorrent sync folder and sync it up with your any other device You want? Yeah So there's a million things you can do! I think that that is the only way we can go I still feel That's the future of media distribution and the micro torrents or uTorrents interface is very familiar. You look at it like, oh I put the feed in here and here's the episodes and you click on it or you can have it automatically download when a new one comes out so but it's not going to be BitTorrent sync. I just don't see how they can do it from a business standpoint. It's just not gonna work sorry. Well that takes care of that yeah dead end which is a shame but this way well they need to make some money hope they do

13:45 Yeah, but it's yeah they definitely this will be their money-making thing however they do it. But the concept is great so we'll work on that So I sent a newsletter out and then after I send it out I noticed that I had these two new donation models one for Europe 4 7 to celebrate the July fourth holiday which is coming up next Friday yes And then I realized that I just didn't even pay tribute to Australia And I felt bad about this, so I said well you know what we should do? We should do a special thing for the next Australian holiday. So I printed out the holidays in Australia in 2014. They have a million holidays that are all kind of proprietary holidays. The number of national holidays they have is like four or two. There's New Year and Christmas and let me see if there's any others on here

CHAPTER 03 / 33 Discussion

Australian Public Holidays, Donation Model Opportunities

A review of the 2014 Australian holiday calendar reveals a variety of religious and local observances, including Epiphany, Shrove Tuesday, and the Northern Territory Picnic Day. The hosts explore whether these dates could serve as specific donation triggers for the audience. They conclude that many of the holidays are too localized or obscure to form a cohesive national donation model.

australia· epiphany· anzac day· bank holiday· picnic day· shrove tuesday

14:43 No, they're all locals or they're religious. And you go down the list and let me give you an example it starts with January 1st the national holiday oh yeah the one other national holiday is on January everything's in January The other national holidays Australia Day which is uh...the 26th and 27th that one's the day and then there's a day that's observed and they are both national holidays so I guess to get three-day weekend or something okay but listen to some of these things they list on here Monday, January 6th we missed. Epiphany! Epiphany? They got these weird Christian holidays that even as a Catholic... Epiphany?! I never heard of these things. Yeah is it epiphany day or isn't epiphany like a lightning bolt an idea...? I guess they-I think what it refers to in this case and even though says Christian holiday I think it refers to the first day after New Year's that the Australians can actually wake up without a hangover

15:41 How long did you work on that one? Very good. Sure, very good. Then he had March 4th Carnival Shrove Tuesday shrove Yeah another Christian holiday. Wouldn't that be like Fat Tuesday's and I don't know what it is because Wednesdays Ash Wednesday So this is the pre Easter week and then you get into a local holiday in March 10th the Adelaide Cup a local holiday. Also Canberra Day, local holiday I guess in Canberra that would be my guess and it goes on and on here's one a Christian holiday on Thursday April 17th Monday M-A-U-N-D-Y Thursday have you ever heard of these things? Monday Thursday is that what you just said? No Monday M-A-U-N-D-Y

16:34 Friday, April 25th and Zack Day. This is a national holiday! Well these are all fantastic donation opportunities people! And Zack day... I could go on and on but i'm not going to do it You should be totally celebrating Okay, anyway just I just look at this list. It's gonna be difficult Let's put it that way so will that be for Sunday you're going to work on that or what do you well? But I can't because there's this today is what the 26th see but now it's just Muslim holidays Ramadan and get that listed Here's one new August 4th we got a possibility New South no this nothing yeah New South Wales Bank holiday

17:18 Oh, here's one. August 4th again another holiday local holiday Northern Territory picnic day They actually make this a holiday in Australia well alright that's good I'm all for it and I'm not against it but anyway There's nothing that I think we can turn into a donation model opportunity they're all Weird okay? Yeah, that's my little that's my tribute to Australia Yeah, there's actually there's a lot to talk about and I've been very very busy calling around so you of course I spoke to the music business insider who by the way said I was on the verge of donating

John Boehner Lawsuit, Executive Overreach Allegations

Speaker of the House John Boehner announced a lawsuit against the Obama administration, alleging a failure to faithfully execute the laws of the United States. The legal action focuses on the separation of powers and the administration's handling of various agency mandates. While some speculate about impeachment, Boehner characterizes the move as a necessary defense of the legislative institution.

28:32 Well, here's the end result at least so far. This is just a developing story but I think it's an interesting one and I'm sure there will be nothing but flack for all the Republicans But play the clip this is John Boehner suing the president over this exact thing you're talking about Yeah, this is funny Hold on a second see there is something wrong...I am grabbing Oh man, this is... I've never seen this. I don't know what's going on John. I click- That could be responsible for the falling apart of the signal coming to me No no no This is something Hold on You have a crash going on No? Your system's out of control It's out of control my friend The vectors for the mouse are off Never had that

29:19 Well, I don't have a Mac so no. I haven't never had that problem Okay So I click somewhere in the file list and it's and it's so I click on a file And it selects a file three three files down What is there must be something oh they must be brought out of mousepad or something to tell you this But I think you need to reboot that sucker No no no well we really don't want to be doing that I think there's I think it's just there must be some track pad crud hold on a second track pad crud Standby. Evaluating trackpad crud issue. Track pad? You use a track pad?! Yes. How fancy can you get! Okay, let's see if this worked. Oh he is using a track pad I think it- yeah i think that was it Wow Is your mouse have a ball No, I have the magic magic track pad Yeah Okay We're back It's working Apologies for the interruption

30:26 Are you planning to initiate a lawsuit against the Obama administration and President Obama over his own misdirected actions? I am. Can you explain why that is necessary and what it's supposed to achieve? You know, the Constitution makes it clear that the president's job is to faithfully execute the laws. In my view, the president has not faithfully executed the laws We have a system of government outlined in our Constitution with executive branch and legislative branch and judicial branch Congress has its job to do so as President And when there are conflicts like this between the legislative branch and administrative branch

31:12 It's, in my view our responsibility to stand up for this institution in which we serve. Could this lead to impeachment proceeding against the president? This is not about impeachment this was about his faithfully executing of the laws over country Mr. Speaker, over three days there's been three separate hearings on the IRS We've heard from the IRS Commissioner The head archivist has said it is clear to him that they broke the law So the administration has not responded or done anything about this What else can and will the House of Representatives do To pursue the IRS case? Well, I think committees that have been looking at this, the Ways and Means Committee And the Government Reform Committee

31:56 I think at least one of the committees have put together a letter trying to get into what i will call the forensics. of what happened and who else may be aware of this. This pisses me off because, of course I followed this but he's not telling us what he is really suing the president over! I want a memo, I want some documentation... I think they're still writing it up. It's just PR crap No, no, personally I think this is all about that DC federal judge who refuses to take any of these cases and push them into the system like they're supposed to be, they are legally required to do. He hasn't done it and so now Holder obviously is behind the whole thing. No don't do anything we can do whatever you want which I believe led to this which is the lost emails at the EPA news scandal. Isn't this great? Now in the same

EPA Email Scandal, Pebble Mine Investigation

The Environmental Protection Agency reported a computer crash in 2010 that resulted in the loss of emails belonging to former employee Philip North. North is a key figure in a House Oversight Committee investigation regarding the veto of the Pebble Mine project in Alaska. Critics allege the EPA's decision was based on political influence rather than sound science, while the agency claims the records are unrecoverable.

32:54 time period, 2010. By the way, that should be banned. I'm not hereby banning people from saying that. Saying it's deja vu all over again? It's a dirty old meme that's dumb. Yeah and Megan doesn't make you look smart but it's dumb don't do it and she's... Don't let them write that for you okay stupid. It is déjà vu all over again today the EPA yet another federal agency says

33:39 It too had a big crash and cannot provide the emails critical to an investigation by the House Oversight Committee. Why not? It's working for the IRS! Trace Gallagher has more from our West Coast Bureau, Trace... Megan, the missing emails involve Pebble Mine a controversial project to mine for copper and gold in Alaska. Critics say the mine will damage the salmon population supporters say it would provide neater jobs and that current mining technologies eliminate negative impacts on the environment documents show this man Philip North a former EPA employee in Alaska was working to kill the project as far back as 2008 The House Oversight Committee is investigating whether Mr. North

34:18 government officials were in cahoots with Alaska tribal leaders and environmental groups, and that when the EPA ultimately vetoed Pebble Mine it did so because of undue influence not sound science. The committee has been trying for months to speak with Philip North but they can't because he retired hired a lawyer and went AWOL at last check he was somewhere in New Zealand refusing to cooperate Now they can't check his emails because his hard drive crashed in 2010, which apparently was a big year for computer crashes. Here's the EPA administrator trying to explain.

34:57 Well, all his emails preserved according to the Federal Records Act. I think we have notified the appropriate authorities that we may have some emails that we cannot produce that we should have kept so notify them not aware whether we can recover all these and okay now I'm glad you opened this Pandora's box up because I don't think I've ever been really incensed and personally angry about any so-called scandal with any administration, but this one really pisses me off. It's personal with me for my own personal IRS reasons and... Right! Yeah, and I know what they do on how they act on how they treat you like a citizen and shut up that and I've also said there are some people who really try to be helpful but it's a trust system you see? And the trust is

35:55 I am trusted as, certainly as an independent entity. You know, I don't work for a company but i'm trusted to write up all my income here are my deductions and here's what was business related and send a check To the treasury of the United States of America that's where you write on it to the United States Treasury And they're trusting me that I'm not lying. And I'm pretty much going to be on the up and up because I know what happens when you fuddle around, and then they come in for the audit then you have to provide documentation which can be emails if you don't have it then they say oh sorry we're cutting that off. There's also there has to be trust on the other side and their assholes! They are total jerk-off

36:41 F-Wads. They really make me angry that this, you know... You always think God I want to think good about people but no! They are a militaristic Nazi outfit who antagonize people We have this now It's very clear and I've got a number of clips Unless you wanna say something now stop because i'm gonna go Well, I only have one more clip that's kind of appropriate but you probably haven't. I'm guessing it was just Gowdy the South Carolina guy going after Mr. Cool. Well a lot of this is Mr. Cool and... Mr. Cool is great! You know Mimi and I were talking about this last night she says this guy he's either a psychopath

CHAPTER 07 / 33 Discussion

John Koskinen Testimony, Eleanor Holmes Norton Apology

Delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton apologized to IRS Commissioner John Koskinen during a congressional hearing, defending his reputation against Republican accusations. She characterized the investigation into missing emails as "conspiracy hunting" and praised Koskinen's history as a "turnaround artist" for government agencies. The hearing highlighted the deep partisan divide over the IRS targeting scandal and the "Lerner crash."

john koskinen· eleanor holmes norton· irs· lois lerner· conspiracy hunting· congress

37:25 or something because he can't believe anybody. He's a professional! Yeah, that's what I keep telling her. In fact... He's just a professional? He's up there and I don't give a damn. I'm here for a reason and the reason is I'm Mr Cool Well in fact i'll start off- now I'm going to reverse the order Now these are longer than normal but you never get any of this type- What is two minutes? You'll never get this kind of material played on mainstream because they have to hit the top of the hour The weather and commercials And don't forget traffic on the east. Here is my favorite douche knuckle on the hill, Norton! This is uh... NORTON!!! Yeah this is the- she's from uh

38:10 She's from the District of Columbia. Yeah, she is not even really a representative. Yeah, she is like a facade. She's not allowed to vote! But she can be there to make trouble and she is a douchebag. Alright well we know that she calls people up and says oh yeah I don't see you on my donor list that's very strange We've played those clips of her so... And I've met her and she's creepy Very very creepy and she is now going to apologize to mr. Cool for the horrible treatment He has received but she actually starts off by saying, you know If you got if you got a department in trouble you call Mr. Cool. Mr. Cool come in and fix it John Kosterman III have known you well before you came to Congress there It is your problem on board with him somewhere since coming to Congress I have been impressed that

39:05 Not a little bit. By the confidence you have inspired, and Republican and Democratic presidents alike it's as if they saved you for jobs that others couldn't do didn't have the guts to do or didn't have the integrity to do Exactly! He is a hitman You bring him in to fix the crap And kill people who are in the way You are well known on both sides of the aisle as as the government's most versatile turnaround our artists when it's Turner do you hear this? Yeah, he's a versatile turnaround artist agencies is in trouble turned to John Koskinen therefore I begin my

39:47 series of questions simply by offering you an apology. I deserve, I believe you deserve one. Catch that! I deserve...I mean I believe YOU deserve one. This is all about her. Yeah she's horrible. You deserve one because of accusations designed to sacrifice the reputation of a public service With a spotless reputation. I think she meant to say public servant, but she said public service for some reason can't even read for political advantage. Oh, political advantage! Without a scintilla and I use my words advisedly. A scintilla? It's just the scintilla which is s-c-i-n-t-i-l-l-a Yeah there's just the scintilla of... she said there was not a scintilla of evidence Not a single scintilla and scintilla is it's a speck. It's a speck of a speck Of evidence

40:50 It's vile enough to look a man in the face and accuse him of perjury without submitting any evidence. Any? It is much worse when all of the evidence supports the version of the facts of the man you are facing Now I think we should take it home to the conspiracy theory Whether it is that the Lerner crash occurred Well, before this investigation began. I love this is it's now known as the learner crash It's it's the learner crash must be clairvoyant whether it's been confirmed by the decriminalization lab doesn't all the evidence is on your side Mr. Koskinen and I want to point out for the record that the line

41:45 conspiracy hunting. There we go! Conspiracy hunting? Adam Curry, John C. Dvorak, conspiracy hunters. With the learner Crash. Crash. For the longest time the line of questioning was about one subject alone. So we've moved from one scapegoat to another, the last of what we just moved off of the notion that this was all a conspiracy directed on behalf of The White House that also without a crumb of evidence shut up

CHAPTER 08 / 33 Discussion

IRS IT Staff Disrespect, "Dude Named Ben"

During a House hearing, a former White House attorney's inability to remember the names of IT staff she worked with at the IRS drew criticism. Referring to a technician only as "a dude named Ben," the testimony sparked a discussion about the lack of respect for sysadmins and IT professionals within government agencies. Representative Jason Chaffetz questioned the witness's professional interactions during her six-month tenure.

irs· it professionals· jason chaffetz· sysadmin· ben· congressional hearing

42:27 Now before I go to Trey Gowdy, a little interlude because it was more funny. And this is... This was so insulting! This is yet another lawyer her name is O'Connor and what is her? Oh, I forget her first name She's a White House attorney for like six months during this period she worked at the IRS And so she's being grilled by Shaffetz, another fun guy to sit across from about you know who did you work with? Who did you talk to? Who do you work with and then she comes out with the most disrespectful comments. So does Shaffetz by the way both guilty most disrespectful comments about your IT professionals

43:18 that I feel there should be outrage in the sysadmin and IT communities. Well, I certainly interacted with Mr. Werfel quite a lot. Okay? Mr. Werfel who else? Mr Wilkins was the chief counsel and I interacted with him We assume that those are people you reported to. I want to talk about who reported to you Name some people that reported to you I think that the best way to do it is to get through. But you're here in front of Congress, you knew this was going to happen. Name one person that you interacted with? I interact with a lot of people. I know you did a lot of people. Name somebody! Who I interacted with? Yes The Deputy Chief Counsel Chris Sterner. Chris Stern. Anybody in the IT arena?

44:06 I didn't actually interact directly with people in the IT arena. There was somebody whose name was...I can't even remember his last name, I think his first name may have been Ben. So a guy named Ben? A dude named Ben! A DUDE NAMED BEN?! This is the respect people give to their IT professionals? A dude named Ben?? You should be seeing blue screen of death, lady. And Chaffetz! This is an outrage you need to have respect for these people. A dude named Ben... Who else? I don't recall- You were there six months. You had people around you that would jump at your very presence What who are these people nobody ever jumped at my very presence i can assure you of that so maybe maybe after after this

44:59 learner crash after the affair, the learner crash affair. Maybe you'll get to learn a little bit more about your IT arena because it turns out that these people are important and what's going to happen is there's gonna be some sysadmin dude named Ben who is gonna say these people are full of shit That's not gonna happen. They're all signed off on non-disclosures, they won't be able to... I don't know how they're going to get around it but they're not gonna come out. The one guy in the archive that says that IRS didn't follow the law and it seems like a scintilla of evidence of some sort. It gets worse!

CHAPTER 09 / 33 Discussion

IRS Email Retention Limits, IT Budget Critique

IRS Commissioner John Koskinen testified that the agency limits employee email storage to 6,000 messages due to server capacity and budget constraints. Representative Darrell Issa challenged this claim, pointing to the agency's $1.8 billion IT budget. The discussion explores the technical absurdity of a major federal agency being unable to afford modern archiving solutions that are standard in the private sector.

45:42 The company that was providing cloud backup for the IRS at that time, unfortunately included an Obama administration insider. A guy who's now running in Silicon Valley as the quote-unquote Obama of Silicon Valley... It's really so incestuously horrible! Now to stay on the IT tip before we get to Gaudi here's ISA with Mr. Cool, and this is... it's so funny when you hear these people who really don't know what they're talking about say these and just listen you will be will freak you out to hear how they discuss IT and what their assessment of the situation is of The Learner Crash. Put your mic pointed towards you so we could hear her sorry about that no problem okay So the bottom line

46:40 You you apparently were not capturing all emails. You were allowing her to delete emails But retain emails on her C Drive so that six months after I just want to make sure we get the record straight Six months after she moved them to our C drive, you are no longer in possession of those is that correct? I love the she moved them to her C Drive Really? No, but what is correct. What is correct Is that each employee is limited to basically now 6,000 emails that they can hold on their email account John let's both right now go into our Gmail I don't even use my gmail and tell me how many emails you have in your inbox in your account

47:26 Well I don't use Gmail much except just to send you stuff but my regular account as we speak and i have four backed up boxes, but the active box has 40,000 emails in it. And that essentially is the emails I've received and by the way and i do erase e-mails but those are the leftover emails I've received since January 1st which is about six months. I get about 85 to 100 thousand emails a year and I end up with with above forty at the end of the year so with the IRS you would be eight times over your limit I would be getting those memos. Hey, mailboxes full! Is this... hello? 1982 this is the year 2014 calling which is stored on the agency's server The reason there's a limitation is the agency does not have servers large enough to sustain the retention of all email. Now let me just... Now you your email provider is a local guy Local guy C-T-Y M-E

48:29 Right, and he's able to store 40 thousand emails in your inbox. In the inbox that is active as we speak? So you know he's gonna get a knock on the door from the IRS and they want to see how he does that! It's a miracle! It really is I run my own email server And I have a small inbox because I do not like to keep everything in an inbox But I've got hundreds of thousands of emails and I think The total cost per month If I had to calculate it out and amortize, it's maybe $15 or something. That's probably way high. Mmm...I'm being royale!

49:11 So decision was made two years ago when people looked at that and it was determined it would cost anywhere from 10 to 30 million dollars to upgrade the system so that in fact all emails on the server would be preserved because of the budget constraints. The agency was operating like 2 years ago, the decision was made not 1.8 billion dollars in I T. And of course this is what ISIS good He rolls the guy right into it. Oh, I'm sorry you have a 1.8 billion dollar budget for IT alone That's not for your guns! They have a whole separate budget for their .50 calibers which they have but he couldn't create a system and of course It's all Microsoft Exchange and stuff so i'm sure there were all kinds of licensing issues But still is your budget one point eight billion dollars on one point eight billion dollars

50:05 Isn't the retention of key documents that the American people need to count on, like whether or not they're being honestly treated by your employees and especially somebody at such a high level. Isn't that in fact a priority that should have allowed for full retention? If we had the right resources, there'd be a lot of priorities we have. The budget for this year... So the American people should believe that if they don't have the resources to pay their taxes they shouldn't pay their taxes because if the IRS doesn't have the resources it won't keep record? Exactly! This is how I think but yeah then he goes off the rails as far as I'm concerned. There's two more minutes I'm not going to play. And by the way isn't just just a matter of storage? It's not

50:45 It's a matter of big monsters, new machines. Put me on the hill! Let me ask some questions! Get the dude named Ben! And there are also archiving technologies which are just turned back up. They could have backed that stuff for the last 50 years. as a public company or an entity owned by a public company, you do not retain documents emails etc for five years. You can be thrown in jail even if unintentional! Ten million dollar fine... Five years in jail if unintentional but that doesn't count for our representatives this is the I'm outraged but seriously put me on the hill I'll bring in VoidZero and couple other guys and the dude named Ben

51:31 And we'll get to the bottom of this real quick. Real quick, and we can show exactly what... We need- there are people covering up evidence as we speak You know that's happening Hey dude named Ben Can you like RM star dot star for me? This is all kinds of crap going on Now I think they're just wasting time Because we need to get to the bottom of the IT part It is unacceptable For terms such as glitch Hard drive crash C-Drive? This is unacceptable vocabulary for this level of investigation. And I denounce anyone who calls it a c-drive in a Senate testimony! Get some real IT people in there. Anyway... Waiting. Okay, so here what? I said been waiting yeah now Trey Gowdy and I had the whole rant

CHAPTER 10 / 33 Discussion

Trey Gowdy Rant, Spoliation of Evidence

Senator Trey Gowdy confronted IRS Commissioner John Koskinen regarding the "spoliation of evidence" and the negative inferences juries are allowed to draw when records are destroyed. Gowdy criticized Koskinen for claiming there was no evidence of criminal wrongdoing without having reviewed specific criminal statutes. The exchange emphasized the legal double standard between how the IRS treats taxpayers and how it manages its own records.

52:29 I have the best part of the ranch if you don't want to play the whole thing. I want to play it until you can't take it anymore. Okay, well you know me...I can take it! Trey Gowdy who is a lawyer... Right he was a good trial attorney and did a lot very successful and he's a senator from South Carolina and he loves going off the rails And, um... He- HE needs some styling advice. Trey! Who the he- Wait you go to Supercuts? Did you see his hair? That's always been his haircut. And by the way, that is a hairstyle I've seen from other Southerners that have that thin kind of funny looking face Well i could help him out We need to mask in his hair A little colorization Just a little more styling Five minutes and he'd look much better

53:25 Anyway, hit it. Well I'm going to help you with it okay? Exfoliation of evidence is when a party fails to preserve evidence there's a negative inference that the jury can draw from their failure to preserve the evidence You with me? If you destroy documents the jury can infer that those documents weren't going to be good for you if you fail to keep documents the jury can infer that those documents were not gonna be good for you You've heard the phrase foliation of evidence, haven't you? I can't recall ever hearing it. I have exfoliated in the shower! It's true in administrative hearings civil hearings criminal hearings... I practiced law once 45 years ago gave it up for Lent one year never went back Mr Cool this is what-I think this that was a mistake A strategic error on behalf of mr cool

54:17 It probably was. I guess at some point he loses his cool and has to throw a one-liner out there But you don't do that to Trey Gowdy No, no wrong guy He hasn't been watching C-SPAN enough Alright well let me tell what you want Say yes sir, no sir to Trey Gowdy Yeah get past him as soon as possible because Trey Gowdy will eat you alive As Mr Cool is about the find out Would have found if you'd stuck with it When a party has a duty to preserve evidence or records and they fail to do so, there is a negative inference that is drawn from their failure to preserve the evidence. It's common sense right? If you destroy something the jury has a right to infer that whatever you destroyed would not have been good for you! Or else every litigant would destroy whatever evidence was detrimental to them agreed?! I'm not sure...I think if you destroyed the evidence and people could prove it wouldn't be a good thing for your defense

55:10 Well, no it's worse than that. The jury can draw and they're instructed they can draw a negative inference All right And that's true if a taxpayer is being sued by the IRS administratively civilly or prosecuted criminally and they fail to keep documents The jury control a negative inference from the fact that they didn't keep receipts or emails or documents trade Gowdy my hero So if it's true and applies to a taxpayer, it oughta apply to the IRS as well. Agreed? Is this a trial is this a jury? Second faux pas second faux pas. I said administrative civil or criminal If you want to go down that road, I'm happy to go down it with you Commissioner in fact, I'm glad you mentioned Thank You! You have already said multiple times today We're gonna show you how we open up a can of whoop-ass in the South Mr Cool

56:00 that there was no evidence that you found of any criminal wrongdoing. I want to, i want you to tell me what criminal statutes you've evaluated? I have not looked at any. Well then how can you possibly tell our fellow citizens if there's no criminal wrongdoing if you don't even know what statues to look at because...I've seen no evidence in anyone conscious or how would you know what elements of the crime existed you don't even know what statues are at play! I'm gonna ask you again, What statutes have you evaluated? I think you can rely on common sense that nothing i have seen... This was the big mistake. Common sense! And it goes in a number of ways because the administration continuously talks about common sense regulation, common sense gun laws, common sense this, common sense that which is in the legal arena useless. Again what statutes have you evaluated?

56:52 I think you can rely on common sense that nothing i have seen... Common sense? Instead of the criminal code, you want to rely on common sense. No Mr. Cutler! You can shake your head all you want to commissioner. You have said today that there's no evidence of criminal wrongdoing and im asking what criminal statutes you've reviewed to reach that conclusion. I reviewed no criminal statute Alright so you don't have any idea whether theres any criminal conduct or not because you dont know the elements of the offense. Ive seen no evidence of wrong doing Well that's very different from no evidence of criminal misconduct, Commissioner. It seems to me if you haven't done the wrongdoing it'd be pretty hard to argue that you've had some criminal violation if you didn't- Well what did Lois Lerner mean when she said perhaps the FEC will save the day? I have no idea what- What did she say well what did she mean when she said we need a project but we need to be careful that it doesn't appear to be per se political Do we need to hear more? I think that was kind of the main thing He goes on he's great

57:49 But I think he got him riled up. Yeah, yeah he reiterated a couple and then finally Mr Cool got back to his old you know cool instead of making instead of trying to go back and forth with these guys so success so far has been just the shut-up nod and going yes whatever you say Sona Soft is the company that provided the Sona soft. Where are they? Why are they not testifying? I don't know maybe they have and we didn't see it. I've been looking get the dude named Ben and Ben Ben and And the dude from sonosoft then let's talk about it now, there's lots of There's uh, there's lots of lawsuits now pending

Joe Biden Infrastructure Speech, Germany Xenophobia Comment

Vice President Joe Biden, speaking at a Manufacturers Association event, called for increased investment in U.S. infrastructure and skilled labor. During his remarks, he characterized the United States as the only "non-xenophobic" major economy, specifically contrasting it with Germany. The comments were criticized as undiplomatic and factually questionable.

1:04:20 Well, so my observation of the day well since since Hillary probably on the ground on the boots-on-the-ground reporting Thank you. Since Hillary won't come up later in the show I'm sure I want to play something from the category Hilary 2016 which would not be Hillary but Joe Biden who is who will pander to anybody he possibly can to get votes and And while everyone was, all the mainstream media was talking about him saying oh I have no stocks or bonds or savings account or whatever. I was watching him speak at the Manufacturers Association and um...I don't think Deutschland will be very happy with our boy Joe We have to keep our edge by doing three important things we're not doing well enough now. We have to invest in infrastructure that used to be an overwhelming bipartisan consensus

1:05:16 in the United States of America. For the past 150 years, it's been a consensus not at the moment. Secondly we need the most skilled workforce in the world to match the needs of high-tech manufacturing and other enterprises and thirdly we have to pass immigration bill look at Germany look at the rest of the world were they only non xenophobic nation in the world that's amazing major economy. You Jew haters over there in Germany! What an idiot. He is an idiot We're the only non xenophobic country in the world look at Germany they hate Jews They skin them and turn them into lampshades Well, I'm sure he's thinking of the turks guess what a moron yeah? Yeah, he doesn't have a lot of uh... He doesn't have a diplomatic gene. He would be great though for the show as president Oh if he was president

CHAPTER 13 / 33 Discussion

Supreme Court Cell Phone Ruling, Exigent Circumstances

The Supreme Court ruled that police generally need a warrant to search a suspect's cell phone, but the decision includes a significant "exigent circumstances" exception. The Department of Justice indicated that agents will use Faraday bags to prevent remote wiping while seeking warrants. Critics argue the "pressing or demanding" nature of exigent circumstances provides a loophole for immediate searches without judicial oversight.

supreme court· united states v. riley· cell phone search· warrants· faraday bag· department of justice

1:06:12 Before we thank our executive producers, I wanted to... this is the—I have to catch myself and i hope people do this when you're a No Agenda producer and when you've been infected with some of our thinking. God forbid it would be called critical thinking because then we can't have that Everywhere I saw postings, you know from places like CNET and The Verge and BuzzFeed. And you know... Take that! Take that you cops! You can't search my cell phone!! For some reason people think that because there was—and this is about the two cases that came before the Supreme Court United States vs Riley, United States versus Wormy

1:07:03 And as you know, I'm a law groupie so i look into these things. Now first of all this decision is not law okay? This is an opinion and decision by the court laws will be made based upon this opinion but as usual where people are all happy like HEH HEH they fail to read the small print This is how the Department of Justice interpreted this We will make use of whatever technology is available to preserve evidence on cell phones while seeking a warrant. See what happens is, they will... it takes about 15 minutes This was all discussed in this opinion very interesting to read

1:07:51 If someone, if the police want a warrant it will take between 13 and 15 minutes for them to get that. And while that is taking place they will put your cell phone in a Faraday bag! I kid you not! In a Faraday bag so that you cannot remote wipe it." She goes on to say this spokesperson we will assist our agents in determining when exigent circumstances Or another applicable exception to the warrant requirement will permit them to search the phone immediately without a warrant. Oh, really? Let's... Consult me booklet! So when you say exigent circumstances it sounds like man this is emergency like you know I think it's hot pursuit It literally means pressing or demanding Exigent circumstances

1:08:47 And this actually refers to the language in the opinion itself. So, the Supreme Court spoke of exigent circumstances so if the officials feel it is pressing or demanding then they can do it without a warrant. So will all you stupid idiots reading The Verge and CNET, yeah take that new world order! You are completely, you've been completely duped by the truth! They actually made it easier as usual. By calling into existence the exigent circumstances Look the word up Exigent pressing or... It's pressing Hello? We have a pressing issue here Go ahead no warrant needed

CHAPTER 14 / 33 Discussion

Digital Opt-Out, Cell Phone Dependency

The hosts advocate for "opting out" of constant cell phone usage to reclaim personal autonomy and reduce government surveillance. They dismiss the common excuse of needing a phone for emergencies, suggesting that most people survived without them for decades. One host mentions using amateur radio as a more reliable security blanket for actual life-threatening situations.

1:09:36 What we need is a... and by the way, this is a big problem. We need dead man switches. You know when thing is more than 10 feet from my hand it should melt or here's an idea- Actually you could do that. You'd have to have something on you And it would have to be pretty obscure because otherwise you grab the guy, grabbed the dead man switch The transmitter that would be the proximity device I have an idea Opt out! Don't carry a stupid cell phone. Who... you know what? Really?! You don't need it

1:10:15 Oh, let me tweet. Ooh! Let me check something. Opt out from time to time... Somebody tweeted me hold on honey I got a like on my Facebook stop driving around yesterday and i was just looking at how many people you see on the street corners they're ready to cross the street On the phone looking at their phone or I mean it's like everybody Everybody is on their phone as there's-I'm always thinking how important do you think you are That you have to be on the phone. Oh, it's not looking at your your it's like You know the blackberry addicts back in the day they're always looking at their email crack We call them crack doctor or your heart surgeon and he really He can't get away from it for one second It's unbelievable well. It's an ego thing that's that's the whole problem walking across the street And there's all kinds of videos where people were slight falling down manholes and all the rest of it Well, that's a good start

1:11:11 Yeah, the other good stars to start anyway. All right this leads to nothing good and you need to control This this is this people need to learn to control it try it from time to time just leave the phone at home You'll survive okay? No one will die you'll see it'll be hard but oh Oh, but tell me the could might be an emergency of the covenant. Just try it You might you might actually like it It can happen what if somebody needs to get a hold of you in an emergency? That is the stupidest excuse how often in your life Has there been an emergency where somebody absolutely has to get ahold of you that happened when we have not our show I remember this Your daughter yeah

1:11:53 Once once yeah, there was something going on. It was in France or something Yeah, and she was yeah in England And she got a hold of you and then you had to call somebody else I was in San Francisco Oh, okay? You're in San Francisco To me it was like You're not even anywhere in the same country. How can you do anything? I mean, if she didn't call you she would have gotten out of it." Well actually yeah, I was gonna say... She figured it all out and it was a learning experience but yeah, first you called daddy, of course. Fly over immediately on the Concorde because, you know, I don't know how it would take days to get there! Now, I've weaned myself off the cell phone by

1:12:38 Taking my amateur radio license. So I have a form of security blanket in the event of an actual emergency My ham radio could save my life, but otherwise I would be a real life-threatening process where everything's gone down. I really don't need anything and people are like isn't the old these old geez you stupid idiots These little guys you oh you dumb keep it with technology well You know what? You're all gonna be transhumanistic dead people Go worship Kurtzweil yeah see where that gets ya Let us thank some of our executives. Well, first I want to say in the morning... Oh yes! In the morning to you John C. Dvorak! Well in the morning to you Adam Curran and all the boots on the ground feet in the air subs in the water uh something else and all the dames at night time And in the morning to our human resources in the chat room NoahJenAtStream.com NoahJenAtChat.net Forgot to do this for some reason on Sunday's show So I need to- Almost again today Yes thank you

Executive Producer Credits, Airport Security Grievances

The show acknowledges high-value donations and bestows knighthoods upon several producers, including a government employee in Brussels. A donor's note regarding a "secondary groping" experience at Schiphol Airport prompts a discussion on the perceived ineffectiveness of millimeter-wave scanners. The hosts suggest these security technologies are "junk" pushed by profitable contractors rather than effective safety measures.

1:13:41 Thank our artists. So the previous, previous episodes art that was 627 was brought to you by Kevlar and 628 brought to you by 20 watt bulb You can find all of the art submissions at noahartgenerator.com Love what you guys are doing I think well we talked about enough people understand what we're looking for yeah And these more recent ones are artistic Yeah, yeah. 21 Bulb was a very nice artistic concept. It was an original piece! Yeah it was very artsy. Very artsy. I like that. Which is what we're looking for if you can get it

1:14:21 Or, you know something that's just hilarious. That would probably beat the art. Hilarious is always good Yeah So let's thank a few people who contributed to show 629 before the artists start going to work And we start off with a big donation an instantite But unfortunately, we don't know who it is In fact, we got... We don't know where he is either A thousand dollars came in Don't mention my name! I work for the US government at NATO and have a security clearance. Do we have a most awesome audience or what?

1:14:59 Living in Brussels, if Adam could come up with a suitable Dutch and incomprehensible name for me that would be fine. Long-time boner first time donor American serviceman I know a lot about Kaki, Kaki C A C I love the podcast also an Austin homeowner Wow hope to be back there soon where I will force Adam to buy me a beer. I'll buy you two Usually the Knights buy the beer, by the way. Just mentioning that to you Sir Mike. P.S., Dutch women are pretty hot this kind of contribution will get me to knighthood and I would like to be known as Sir Mike The Cyber Knight

1:15:44 Okay, but he wanted me to he wants to use that or do you want an incomprehensible? No. That's the other guy I'm sorry Mike our next guy sir Mike no He just says we're over to be back soon Dutch women are pretty hot. He's okay. I don't know this is I'm sorry these are yeah You can do and they're right well what you don't see this that often so I got confused not sir Mike So why don't we just be on you have to give him a name okay distiller at brussel distiller of brussel Yeah That means the Brussels... Undercover. Wait, let me... Distiller would be the Brussels alcohol maker? Very close! No, stille. S-T-I-L-L-E when we say it's slang when you say Heisenstille that means undercover agent usually as a cop but yeah distiller in Brussel Sir. Sir distiller in Brussel Let me write it down

1:16:35 Sir Distilla in Brussel. Yeah, nice. Close enough, eh? Okay. That guy's funny! There we go sir Mike is coming up Michael Halfley, Ha-Felley, Haff Lee is the way it's pronounced In Eden Prairie Minnesota used to be where I think control data was up there $800 and two cents This contribution will get me to knighthood And I would like to be known as Sir Mike the Cyber Knight You got it There's Sir Night...Mike Yep you got it Anwar, eh, brother. Anwanor Gilao. I think it's Anwanor Gilao. Anwanar. Anwanar that sounds right in Buellton California 333 33 here is my first installment of three on the way to Dame Hood

1:17:25 And one door, okay. The... I don't know what that is. Look it up! I'm quite sick of my husband Sir DH Slammer taking credit for my ideas and thoughts that he sends into the show. Goddammit So i figure i'd better donate myself in addition as a Native American Okay she's Indian. Uh, American-Indian. Oh faux pas, faux pas Well no but she's got a little lecture for us here which is going to be interesting She's native peoples I would like to comment on the current public politicization, oh brother of the Redskins name because there's a big controversy in United States for people outside the country. For one of our football teams... Let me just stop for second The president of the United States started this start bitching about there is no reason for use a disparaging word like the Redskins and then finally

1:18:19 Patent and Trade Office said your brand is invalid to be trademarked, which means I could go out now and sell redskin t-shirts that are not protected. Right And so here is an actual American Indian who was going to Native American Native American Indian who was going to by the way she did everything perfectly but she forgot to send pictures with the email what's up with that? Hello She's going to tell us her feelings on this disparaging name. Okay, now this is interesting because I didn't know this and you think i would? The disparaging term red skin as opposed to red man which is descriptive like white men or black man does not refer to the color of one skins or ethnicity Oh hold on! Hold on... This was unknown to me

1:19:07 but rather the tanned pelt of a Native American. The U.S Army officially offered Indian hunters poachers money for the scalps of Native Americans, $75 for a man 50 for a woman and 25 dollars for a child some regions have fetched up to 200 for a quality red skin hide It's ridiculous to give racism power by being offended by it, but the derogatory term redskin is not simply being racist. It's glorifying the senseless murder of men women and children and not unlike naming a team The Gas Chambers which I think would be a good idea to call The Berlin Gas Chambers would be a fantastic name for a team

1:19:47 Well, making a point here. I love that. Everman definitely should not regulate the name of a company or team because it's essentially a form of free speech but i do hope we as a society would not allow such an aim to exist by withholding support opt out and don't reward this terminology with your hard-earned money period Give me a shut up slave, just take your medicine karma and from my son Andrew who is six and loves the show. We have a lot of children listeners mainly because as we've learned with the jingles. Solo Adams plays less and less of them I beg to differ ever since you accused me of that correctly i've been doing more and more of them If you see something say something so we need a shut-up slave Shut Up Slave! Just Take Your Medicine

Anyway, I shrugged this off as a glitch in calibration and wandered off The guys at gate security at least were quite pleasant Much nicer than the TSA's guys Oh yeah I sat down waiting for the boarding call and decided to see if it was just a one-off false positive So he's decided... This is good

1:25:06 He's decided to toy with the system. This never works out, but he's an Aussie so you know... Yeah of course. Name a couple. Okay here it goes. Sat down and decided was one off.

No Agenda Show Notes Search, Developer Recognition

A new search engine for the No Agenda show notes has been launched at search.nashownotes.com, utilizing XML data to provide deep indexing of past episodes. Developed by a producer named Dona Hatton, the tool allows researchers to find specific video clips, documents, and topics across years of content. The hosts praise the technical execution and its utility for students and fact-checkers.

search engine· xml· show notes· freedom controller· coding· data indexing

1:26:38 Obviously, these are real credits. You can use them anywhere credits are recognized. LinkedIn seems to be a good place to do that. Unlike the phonies in Hollywood we're very proud to vouch for you should anyone bring these credits into question and I have a nice announcement and a huge thanks to Dona Hatton...I think that's how you pronounce his name He has created that we already had comic blogger great comics or blogger did an on which is actually very important the he did the the JavaScript show notes search per show notes episode, which is... it really is looking through the entire files like a mini index because of course all opml based of each individual episode. But now we have Dona Hatton and I've been waiting for someone like this to show up who said oh it's interesting that Adam has put all these show notes in an XML format gee wonder what I could do with that? How would know? I could create a search engine!

1:27:40 And we have now transformed the already existing search.nashownotes.com, which was a Google search to the new Shownote Search and it is phenomenal! So you just type in... Researchers take note. Yeah, and it gives you a results list with the episode number and it drops down when you click on it shows you the original. It gives you of course since we've been saving all these in the excellent Freedom Controller a copy of the text It's insane. There is nothing like it! I have not seen anything like this for show notes ever No, this is a... yeah And you'll see on the right it will say video clips or docs so that you can find a clip If I was a student who was taking high school or especially high school student that would was one of the show supporters producers

1:28:38 This would be a goldmine for me writing papers. So let's try it, let's just try give- gimme a search term What do you want to find? How about... Putin dogs Cooking dogs? No, Putin dog remember he hated the dogs Oh right, Putin Dogs 589 Sochi facilities still work in progress 589 stop Sochi government from killing stray dogs 513 I don't tell with that, um... That's videos. Uh 537 Putin finally resigned There was all of this it's all in here boom BAM nailed it You have a bongo? Yeah That's new you say that every time It's funny you've never bongoed for me before I just did All right

1:29:21 So thank you all very much. Thank you, Donna for doing that it's fantastic he said I think is a student. He's obviously codes a lot did see guys like that are no gold mines and they always get rich if they play their cards right? Stay out of the open source community. I'd like to introduce him to my friend Ben some dude named and dude name been All right continue support us we will be doing another show on Sunday Dvorak org slash and of course, we always need your continued propagation of this formula our formula is this We go out we hit people in the mouth Oh

Google IO Critique, Gmail API Concerns

The 2014 Google IO conference is criticized for its focus on "slave jewelry" wearables and the introduction of a proprietary Gmail API. The hosts argue that moving away from the open IMAP standard allows Google to further lock users into its ecosystem and monetize personal data. They predict Google will eventually deprecate IMAP to force developers and users into their controlled API environment.

google io· gmail api· imap· wearables· slave jewelry· data collection

1:30:10 Now I will point out to you that we've been at it for an hour and 15 minutes. There's just too much talk about, and you're gonna say when we're done, too long! The show is too long but... How do you say that? ...I don't know what to do. It's not like this show always originally started as you and i just shooting the breeze and it was in London, you were San Francisco like half an hour maybe once a week and then we started to record I just, i'm never done talking to you. We're uh... we have to tighten it up, I think But how? There's- I always want to talk about that! Oh! I mean like we could talk about the Google IO scam for hours Okay okay, were going there

1:30:57 I was actually doing work on the show while you were watching the Google IO presentations and then bitching to me, which is we don't do as much as we used to over the messaging system. Yeah, that's known as SMS. It's a newfangled... Yeah, the Newfangled Messaging System. I think it's Short Messaging System is what i'd call it because you know it's like very short. Tends to be and then give us your report! What do you think? Well um I had to laugh at the whole wearables

1:31:33 Which, believe me people this is slave jewelry. Do not fall for this wearable scam. Slave jewelry? It's slave jewelry! All it is collecting data and Google's business is selling this data Forget advertising they know what they're doing The thing that I was... That was just one element Yeah has high blood pressure The thing I really am, that is dangerous and so typical... Google has introduced a Gmail API. And this is-I believe these moves are never good

1:32:19 because we have several...we have IMAP and IMAP without a doubt has its challenges. And, I happen to be working with Dave Jones on something with the freedom of control in IMAP right now which is why it's an interesting topic for me they have now created this API where you can make an OAuth first your authorized through OAuth then you could make a call to read a message or send the message So they essentially want to enable developers to create new interfaces to Gmail, which a lot of it consists of reading your email. Now that's aside whatever I don't like big companies who clearly... Essentially Google did this with RSS

1:33:06 They had Reader, and then they said, you know what? RSS is no good. Everybody to G+, and we're just shutting it down... Everyone was on Google Reader although RSS is very important to the infrastructure of the internet and still in use everywhere as a news delivery agent, it was killed And now we have the Gmail API- abruptly I might add So we have the Gmail API, which of course they can choose whenever to change whenever they want to. But now you will have all these apps because it's from a program from developer standpoint it's a lot easier to use the Gmail API and by the way Microsoft has an API a REST API for their Outlook which is completely different...and there you go! Now nothing talks to each other one of the few things

1:33:55 Even though IMAP has its challenges, you could pretty much use any email client and get into any email system. So I predict it's not hard to do. Google will say we're deprecating IMAC! Go away everyone has to be on the Gmail API. And this is never good this is not how the internet should be working That saddens me. I can't say that they don't have the market because, I think Gmail is very big but it's not... friend this is a do evil move Yeah okay? I think you made your point That was the Google IO conference and a bunch of A-holes walking around with glass Okay great! Wooo! Moron

1:34:42 Yeah, well I don't get invited anymore. Gee, I wonder why? Hmm... Donno. It baffles me actually What could it be? Whatever the case they uh... yeah the wearables was going nowhere Buzzkill Jr pointed out that the American public is adverse to doctors so why would they want to wear a bunch of items that tell them their blood pressure or their systolic and whatever numbers and On the fly, beats per minute. Because they're being given this illusion of living like The Jetsons where I let me swipe my watch...

1:35:22 It's time for my meeting. It's a slave bracelet, swear to God! Time- oh! Gotta do this? Oh I've gotta go! Time for me to- oh I've gotta call this person You're now taking commands from your watch Are you insane?! I don't understand Why do people do that? Insanity rules the roost Okay Anyway That's your report That's good enough That's all you need It was very tedious, I found. And talking about these sort of things which have to do with healthcare... So I ran into this idea, I played it for Mimi and I'm gonna play it and it is a commercial, it's called the Oddball Commercials, the clip. This commercial is using a technique of selling

Marissa Mayer Tardy Scandal, Yahoo CEO Criticism

Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer faced public backlash after reportedly being late to a meeting with top advertising executives from WPP and Omnicom. While some defenders characterized the media coverage as a "war on women," others argued that her habitual tardiness is damaging to Yahoo's business relationships. The hosts compare her leadership style to former CEO Terry Semel and discuss the influence of major ad agencies.

marissa mayer· yahoo· advertising executives· omnicom· wpp· war on women

1:39:46 But I don't want my car to have these capabilities. If somebody steals the car, they steal it and then you know... Whatever happened to LoJack? That was fine! Yeah, identify where the car is and that's that just find it you're done. Well I don't like the idea this room trolled car But you know just for young you look you ever look at Google plus Sometimes right? You must yeah occasionally I get thrown into Google Plus So well, you know cuz Google just say well, I think you need to go here boom then I'm in Google Plus you need to sucks by the way of course but I like Google Plus because the ham radio community uses it a lot in any of these communities. That's where people post crap about ham radio, so... The alternative is the Yahoo groups. Oh! So by- Old fashioned. Go to Yahoo and try to go into a group now they say, oh you have to have a public profile before you can join the group. See i've been on Yahoo since 1998. I had to create a public profile?

1:40:51 I just, you know that girl just got a little less sexier over there to me. Marissa making me create a public profile All right So you should look at Mike Elgin's post before you go there and you mentioned her? I'm gonna kill this a little aside here eat the big stink recently. I don't know what why where this is coming Yeah, I saw this too so she was here's what happened and of course the question remains She's got million of us a million assistants There's no excuse for what happened Except for the fact that she's notoriously tardy. She's late to her meetings with her, and she'll be in our office but you won't see as you have to sit on your heels for 45 minutes to an hour before I get to see or even though you have an appointment at 2 o'clock you want to 315

1:41:35 So she had apparently of the big advertising agencies, and I assume it's the big ones that are all part of this. The big groups WPP and Omnicon... That's it! That's the only two there's nothing left Well as publicists, I think they're still doing something right? I think they're still independent No no Public-no. I think their owned by WPP we talked about whatever the case is They had a bunch Big shots. These guys don't fool around and they're also part of the all the public relations agencies and the advertising agencies So if they want to do something to you because they don't like your or you piss them off Let's put it gonna get let's put it this way when I was still in advertising If John ran from Omnicom wanted me to kiss his ass Yeah, yes yeah with or without tongue John The point is that she obviously irked these guys

1:42:23 And so they put this news story out that went national. She's notorious for being late, but every local... They're all giving her crap for being late or missing a meeting because she slept in supposedly which is bullcrap too because she's got assistants that wouldn't let her do that you know? They'd be knocking on the door, Marissa wake up! You've got a meeting So she just, I don't know blew them off. No, I saw Dame Francine post on Google Plus coincidentally a large tome about this and she immediately says this is about the war on women which i think that's how she interpreted it if this were man wouldn't be anything like that whatever It would have been worse

1:43:07 Yeah, taken out of a CEO job. Look they're out to get her and well They are now but I think the media is out to get her and I believe this is because there's jealousy involved look at look at who she's hiring the all the you know She's got Katie Couric she got the New York Times guy. She just got another investigative reporter. She's building up A stable of entertainment people who are making a crap load of money and all they're gonna do is blog something apparently I don't see anything from any of these people David Pogge. Yeah, I guess he writes some stuff I think it's jealousy, like nah fuck that, bang that man. Nah, fuck the Yahoo! Who do they think they are? When did they kill you Yahoo?! It's possible... And by the way when Terry Simmel was CEO of Yahoo he got crap all the time for all kinds of stuff He was never at The Office my understanding. Spent all his time in Beverly Hills showed up once a week Yeah He should get crap and i think she should too She's not being a good CEO by stiffing a bunch of advertising executives Those guys are the big ones

1:44:12 It's not good for the company. Anyway, the point is that I think they're going after her now until she apologizes or something...I have no idea how she's gonna get out of this. Well there's a lot of that but who was it? Who was the actor who was in Playboy magazine and he said something to the effect of The Jews run Hollywood! Oh yeah So yeah, of course... Mel Gibson. No he actually... It wasn't Mel Gibson? No it was um... Another one?! Yeah the guy who's in Planet Of The Apes He actually defended Mel Gibson I think in the article. I don't care whatever I don't care about this we got other things to do. That was a real news item sorry! You know what, you know what Don't do that, you know what I'm gonna call on you on this that was not okay shouldn't do that too often Let's talk about Agenda 21

Climate Change Data Controversy, Obama "Liberal Plot" Comment

The Telegraph published a report alleging that global warming data from NOAA and NASA has been manipulated to exaggerate temperature increases. President Obama addressed climate change skeptics in a speech, dismissing their concerns as a "liberal plot" and criticizing members of Congress for "ducking the question" by claiming they are not scientists. The hosts argue the terminology has shifted from global warming to "carbon pollution" for political effect.

climate change· noaa· nasa· carbon pollution· barack obama· congress· global warming

1:45:07 A couple of, now the telegraph in the UK I love how... no one here would get away with it in a major publication. Title of the headline, The Scandal of Fiddled Global Warming Data. And accuses NOAA and NASA and USHC and GISS everyone of fiddling the data therefore creating this scam of climate change which is going to affect people for decades I love how they just get to do that but then we have... who posted this? We had a bipartisan report

1:45:47 which came out and this is all part of, this is a big push now. The president is doing this whole climate change push and he has released the progress report then of course everything's well-timed because that's what these guys are doing they're working on his legacy instead of you know trying to stop the floodgates of this sea drive and dude named Ben They... Climate change could cost the United States hundreds of billions of dollars by the year 2100. So they're just writing whatever they want, I mean that's easy! You know in the year 2100 people will have three legs you can do anything you want... In the Year 2100? There is an interesting lawsuit, I think it was a lawsuit... screw that, I don't wanna talk about that here i'll play this bit from The President

1:46:44 So he was... I don't know where he was. So? Did you say so? Yeah, no. I forget where he was. If you do not believe in the man-made global warming which i think John you and I are in agreement on that we also do not think it should be called carbon pollution We went from global warming to climate change carbon pollution, which is not... should not be the same as carbon dioxide. Which is now a deadly poisonous gas So I guess when I'm kissing my wife I should not exhale because she might die from the carbon pollution Don't breathe in my face And he this-I was dumbfounded by this ditty from him It's pretty rare that you encounter people who say that The problem of carbon pollution is not a problem

1:47:42 You've all, you know in most communities and workplaces etc. when you talk to folks they may not know how big a problem they may not Know exactly how it works They may doubt that we can do something about it but generally they don't just say No I don't believe anything scientists say Except where? Congress. Ah, hold on a second you mean the representatives of the people? Wouldn't that mean from a constitutional standpoint would that not mean that the people are in disagreement because if it doesn't then every single one of Congress should be taken out back thrown in stocks and or shot

1:48:33 Am I missing the point of Congress? He now separated the United States from their representatives. That's not okay! This is just a slam at the Republicans, to that audience they all know it's all code. Oh wait... Code for the Republican idiots. In Congress folks will tell you climate change is a hoax or a fad or a plot. It's a liberal plot I like this. He's not using the conspiracy theory, he is using liberal plot. I like that too. It's a new one and we should keep it in there. And then most recently because many who say that actually know better and they're just embarrassed... They ducked the question! They? I'm not a scientist

1:49:28 Which, really translates into I accept that man-made climate change is real but if i say so out loud I will be run out of town by a bunch of fringe elements that think science... climate science is a liberal plot. So I'm gonna just pretend like I don't know! I can't read! The science is in! Science! The science is in! Science! Okay, well while you're playing that...that was horrible. Yes it is very-it is not okay I agree Well you're watching that and I'm watching a breakfast meeting Christian Science Monitor with our old friend Mike Rogers

CHAPTER 21 / 33 Discussion

Mike Rogers Resignation, Intelligence Committee Transition

Representative Mike Rogers, head of the House Intelligence Committee, is leaving Congress to pursue a career in talk radio. The hosts speculate that his sudden departure from a powerful "plum job" suggests potential blackmail or pressure from the intelligence community. They contrast his move to a local radio gig with other officials, like General Keith Alexander, who moved into lucrative private sector consulting.

mike rogers· intelligence committee· fbi· cia· blackmail· talk radio· kaiser alexander

1:50:15 Ah yes, Mike Rogers soon to be disc jockey. Now I by the way was watching this with Mimi And I was just watching this, it was him Mike Rogers is sitting around talking about Al Qaeda and all the rest of here. Just play one of these clips so let's play and then i'll tell you what he's going to say. Play Mike Rogers there all Al-Qaeda minded backgrounders the backgrounder this kind of thing he's asking doing a q&a over breakfast with the staff for the Christian Science Monitor. So there's no clear line yet between ISIS and AQAP Is this just sort of, we can speculate that they may work together? Well we know that they all have relationships. They have had intermediary exchanges, we know that. Remember once they were decertified they decided they were going to go their own direction

1:51:10 Again, their goals and intentions are exactly the same. There isn't a fraction of a difference. The tactics of how they get there may have been different and Zawahiri's position with them was if I can't control you, I'm not going to have you as part of our group And he did that primarily because being part of AQ gets you financing, it gets you status, it gets you recruits. What I think he underestimated is that these folks were winning on the battlefield and when your winning on the battlefield that in and of itself attracts other jihadists because they want to be a part of the winning team if you will

1:51:49 And so they're the same, they're exactly the same. They still have this kind of funny respect for each other again I'd look at it as two or three people fighting over one thing and when there's a difference they'll fight you but when there is mutual benefit they will be together and it's really the same kinda thing. They are al-kinda minded no different They want to establish the caliphate, they'll use all the tools of political violence to do it. Hold on a second you just threw that at me I wasn't ready for that! You should have been. Yeah. CALIPHATE!!! Oh god... Now there's one little segment here and then i'm going to give just a little bit of an interim analysis but play this clip this is the Mike Rogers telling the truth assessment This is where he describes what was going on before we were where we are today with this ISIS group

1:52:38 before and then the way he summarizes it is one of those moments where somebody's telling the truth by accident. By accident, yes! And you have to listen because to be honest about it I watched this or clipped this... It wasn't again one of those moments were oh You didn't hear it until you just heard it instead of watching. Come to those conclusions ourselves. It was very clear to me that years ago ISIL or ISIS was pooling up in a dangerous way, building training camps recruiting. In Jordan drawing in jihadists from around the world we saw all of that happening then we get to remember we talked for a long time nothing happened to disrupt that

1:53:24 Then we saw them cross the border and go into Fallujah. Nothing happened, that was six or eight months ago so some notion that we wouldn't have seen this coming means you weren't paying attention to the intelligence that was afforded us. Could they have come up and said, hey this is the... let me give you the Fallujah update? Maybe not but nothing happened when they crossed the border nothing happened when they took Fallujah nothing happened when they took Mosul Nothing happened when they took Tikrit And then they said we got a problem I don't know i think that it's really an unfair assessment of what we knew in how he watched it develop

1:54:05 Tell me what you heard. He said it was an unfair assessment that the whole thing that he just said... Was bullcrap! Yeah, yeah essentially what he said and by the way he goes on and on with more stuff I'm not going to play all these clips now but The Kicker which makes zero sense is this one here just play the Mike Rogers part three kicker because of the potential now did we know they were going into Iraq I'm not sure but they clearly want they want Lebanon Oh a part of the West Clark seven so he's but he goes through this long explanation about all those intentions and then it says did we know they were going into

1:54:48 Iraq and then he says, I don't know. Well wait a minute that's completely opposite of what you just said about we saw them do this we saw them do that they were building up there making camps they're going to then went to Iraq and yeah they knew Anyway, this guy's annoying. So anyway I'm watching this is the part I wanted to get to and he also talked about the no-fly list which was just He should be ashamed of himself for that we do have that clip but so i'm watching This and and i'm thinking to myself self? This guy self! This guy they've got something on him And they want him out

1:55:26 Oh yeah. Because you don't go from this particular job, the head of the intelligence... This is the plum job! And he's going, yeah look at Kaiser Alexander is making a million dollars a month reportedly in consulting Wall Street firms against cyber attacks. And Rogers could be in one of these groups easily but no he gets a job as a DJ like you said and which I'm sure was like okay well you've got to now Mimi says maybe he's gay And he's with little boys or there is some little thing going on with this guy that they can't put up with anymore. I'm looking at him, he does have a...I don't see the little boy thing but he does have certain look to him

1:56:14 It had to go like this, we got you hookers. Drug dealing? I have no idea but there's something he did that irked the CIA and they said we're taking you out of this job, you are quitting And we got a nice gig. I can go as a consultant, no you're not going to even be in the business anymore we're getting you a job as an analyst TV or radio guy and local station You get your normal stipend that's where your working there and that's were you gonna go for any of these other characters. You're not gonna do what the guy in the NSA did, you're not gonna get any of that stuff this is what we're getting so I can't get a job like that! I don't know anything about it, I've never worked on a radio station Don't worry about it We got you the job already

1:57:02 Because there's no way you're going to get that. And your congressman, I don't care who he is, he's not gonna go waltzing into some radios out show him a KSFO. I'd like to get a talk job. Yeah they're not gonna screw yourself where did the talk jobs have? You had none! They're not gonna give you that job iIdon't care if you're a congressman so they had this skid the wheel or oil the skids for this guy He's out for a reason The thing is what that reason could be anything Huh. Well, it makes sense. I mean it's almost like you're a big celebrity on MTV and all of the sudden you're doing a podcast? It's kind of similar... You're ousted! You're ousted from the mainstream somehow.

1:57:46 So that has to be, because why this guy and he says they talk about it. He talks about it with some lamentations Well I worked for the FBI and then I was in the army or something He apparently is you know as a government guy been working for the government all his life And he says I've been doing all these things including being a soldier and being in the FBI 28 years total. I don't know how long he was in Congress, I think six to maybe 10-12 at most and he ends up with this plum job which has gotta be one of the greatest jobs that committee head of the intelligence group and you know they dog these guys to make sure that they can have

1:58:24 a communist in that group, they have to put up with it. They can't talk to him or you know Putin supporters not going to be in the committee and I don't know what it is but something happened because there's no way...I was looking at watching them and said why would you give up this job? It's a gem! You're on TV all the time. Well he would have to run for re-election then obviously that was not going to happen because of the gay thing or the drug thing or whatever he'd been blackmailed with Yeah, so that's they want him out and of course really interesting who is going to come in his stead. I don't know whether the head of the committee will be an interesting guy to check out right? Right but yeah no because i just can't...I mean we..i don't want to just you know defame with a guy although we do although we can do it on this show easy enough. Easy yeah Because we don't have suits telling us he can't do that! He's a sitting congressman but there's this guy is not gonna quit this job

ABC News Anchor Change, David Muir Appointment

David Muir has been named the successor to Diane Sawyer as the anchor of ABC's World News Tonight. The hosts discuss the lack of diversity in evening news, noting that the major networks are now all led by white men. They also make cynical predictions regarding Muir's personal life and how it might be leveraged for network ratings in the future.

That is the most cynical thing you've said for a while The guy has a drip, although some of my gay friends think he's sexy but I don't see it He's got kind of a horse face. He has a very John Kerry shaped head Well I think the quote was, I can get behind that guy and they're like okay thank you so they won't see the horse face um That's just a prediction we'll just keep your eye on the prediction Now, okay I put in the book actually. Please do a big gay story and he will come out as gay and it'll be great for the ratings And of course now we have three white men hosting our news at night that's diversity for you people Yeah well... And since you now twice have said in this show Well you were doing that

2:02:03 Only once twice twice okay, twice that this bugs you and by the way was before you go on to that I got one quick clip. Okay because we mentioned soccer We got the soccer update. Yes, lovely. Go Dean heads it in off the corner kick for Uruguay one nothing final other winners Columbia Greece and it was England and Costa Rica going nil nil, nil, nil game. How exciting Anyway, okay. I do want to remind everybody that there's only one reason why soccer never football never caught on in America There is no place for the commercials

CHAPTER 23 / 33 Discussion

John Kerry Baghdad Visit, 2016 Presidential Ambitions

Secretary of State John Kerry visited Baghdad to discuss the ongoing crisis in Iraq, notably appearing in photos without a helmet while surrounded by armored personnel. The hosts suggest this is a calculated PR move to avoid the "Dukakis helmet" meme and signal his continued presidential ambitions. Kerry is positioned alongside Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton as a potential 2016 contender.

john kerry· baghdad· flak jacket· michael dukakis· elizabeth warren· 2016 election

2:02:48 What they've done now, you'll see the signs. They're electronic and so they change... It's funny But that's the only reason why No I've been to soccer games and it's that actually You get to watch the whole game from beginning to end with a little break in the middle And there is none of this bullcrap Stop the game Play five minutes of commercials for the TV audience Start the game again Yeah, okay so I've been following of course next to the IRS. The other i-word is Iraq or as we are have been taught to say Iraq and a couple things going on when you give me a rundown then I got a couple of clips to play So John Kerry watermelon head douchebag no good for nothing Yalie neocon warmongering horrible man went to Baghdad

2:03:40 And if you look at the pictures, this is very funny. He's in a helicopter... This is how egotistical and how much of a show this really is but how egotistical he is So there are all these pictures of Cary in the helicopter with the assumed marines getting out of the helicopter Everybody is in full on flak jackets combat gear with their helmet on Cary not a single picture does he have his helmet on And I know why. All you have to look up is Dukakis helmet

2:04:15 Because can you imagine what that but with that head looks like where the helmet on top? He would be would be the brunt of jokes forever So he forgoes his personal safety, which I believe is probably not that much in peril in Baghdad To to look the part Total PR. That's a good guy. Give you 10 on now and that's a good call. I never thought of it Oh so obviously exactly what it is And you know what that also indicates He wants to run for president. Another shot at oh, absolutely this is Biden and Kerry and Clinton and Elizabeth Warren Those are the four front what you know, you know carry makes the most sense I mean if you want a you know continue killing brown people in sand and be The winner well that you'll carry could easily put his creds up against Hillary and

2:05:10 and on paper look like the better candidate, but he is such a horrible dud. He's a douche. And Hillary at least has some...a little bit of spark but it's Elizabeth Warren that got all the energy And she matches the model better because we're at the end of a depression and then the last one... Yeah, whatever. Okay fine Elizabeth Warren great But you know what? We're all gonna be dead if she becomes president so good riddance Then I looked at this 300 meme now and I've seen this now pop up where I actually read some blogs or someone says these Spartan Obama's Spartan number

CHAPTER 24 / 33 Discussion

ISIS Expansion, Sectarian War Narratives

The Institute for the Study of War is tracking ISIS advances across key border crossings between Iraq and Syria, including At Tanf and Abu Kamal. Media outlets like the New York Times are criticized for propagating a "sectarian war" theme that simplifies the conflict into Sunni versus Shiite divisions. Human Rights Watch reports indicate that ISIS is increasingly recruiting child soldiers as they seize more territory.

isis· syria· iraq· kim kagan· institute for the study of war· sunni· shiite

2:05:52 So this 300 has a lot of historical significance. Three hundred Spartans... It's also making it, it's also reference to the movie that just the new version yes in part two Yes! Hello Hollywood! We got the three hundred but The New York Times did in 2007 Bush was set... 300 is a magical number. It's really, it is a three! 330 would have been better but the 300 Spartans has huge historical significance and of course Hello Hollywood we have the movie so none of that is coincidental I've been paying attention to The Institute for the Study of War Of course Kim Kagan our girl We love the Kim

2:06:39 And here, so they are watching. They do a little chart and update every single day the four areas where they believe ISIS Islamic State in Al-Sam will create problems At Tanf, which is a major border crossing. Abu Kamal that's actually the main crossing between Iraq and Syria this is where they were the 2008 CIA raid with killed a whole bunch of people remember the helicopter gunning people down yep and then at the most important when I think from my perspective your Yoruba which is the gateway for the Seyhan pipeline

2:07:25 So be on the lookout for those three areas to erupt in a rebelization plot. The New York Times, they propagate the sectarian war theme with... This is actually quite disgusting but of course it's the New York Times Middle East questions rebels used to tell Sunni from Shiite And this is kind of a... like in the second world war they'd be like, who won the 1932 World Series? If you didn't know the answer then of course you were a Nazi. You were German and you get shot so that's what they're doing that what kind of music do you listen to I mean it's crazy! They're really trying to show this phony baloney Of course there is sectarian issues but phony baloney thing

2:08:16 About the Sunnis and the Shias, and it's-and their differences are like well They pray a little differently. And really you think that this that's what this is all about? Are we that stupid apparently yes Then we have We've got to start promoting help with the promotion of these horrible Horrible Isis which are sometimes called Syrian rebels now they're recruiting teams teens or children Says Human Rights Watch, which is mainly funded by the United States State Department. So they're horrible! They're getting child soldiers... be on the lookout for that. Yeah, Kony 2000. Uh-huh and diplomats now calling on Tony Blair to

2:09:03 either step up or Get out as a peace envoy, of course the worst person you can have in anywhere and kidding and here is President Obama on which he continues to call Isis and The threats how urgent of a threat to the American people is Isis. I think it's fair to say that Their extreme ideology poses a medium and long-term threat Medium and long term threat? What does that even mean?! I have no idea why you'd say that. Nothing this guy says without reason.

CHAPTER 25 / 33 Discussion

Security Sector Assistance, Global Contractor Funding

President Obama issued an executive order delegating authority for "Security Sector Assistance" to Secretary of State John Kerry under Presidential Directive 23. This classified directive allows billions of dollars to flow to commercial contractors for military and civilian security operations globally. Funding is being directed to countries including Burkina Faso, Chad, and Libya for counter-terrorism, logistics, and surveillance capabilities.

ndaa· section 1206· presidential directive 23· john kerry· military contractors· isr· africa

2:09:42 There are a lot of groups out there that probably have more advanced immediate plans directed against the United States that we have to be on constant guard for. The thing about an organization like this is that typically when they control territory, because they're so violent, because they're so extreme Over time the local populations reject them. We've seen that time and time again Yeah, okay So clearly extreme and we've got to do something about it with our anti-terrorism partnership fund then the president signed a little notice That of course no one really takes any note of Which is he let me see what is the actual I have here somewhere? He was an executive order regarding the reporting

2:10:32 The reporting under section 1206B of the NDAA 2014. And I, of course went in and took a look at it... What is- he's deferring that reporting to Watermelon Head Carey. Congress established Section 1206 as a flexible funding mechanism. Wow! Wish I had one of those at home eh? That what my kid always thinks, I have a flexible funding mechanism in my pants in order to provide the U.S government with a means to respond rapidly to emerging, and some would say urgent threats to US security including threats to the security of us military forces that would pose too great a risk if left unattended first established as a pilot program section 1206 authority is subject to continuous congressional scrutiny by guys like Mike Rogers

2:11:28 Issues range from the specific questions about the effectiveness of Section 1206 programs and whether it should be expanded or limited to the broader questions of whether DOD should retain its own T&E authority, which I guess is transportation and entertainment? Is that hookers and trucks? I guess so. And whether it should be reconsidered in the context of broader security assistance reform So I believe what happens here is the president has given the authority to John Kerry And this is according to Presidential Directive 23, which I looked up. You're not allowed to see Presidential Directive 23 that is classified so they have a fact sheet about Presidential Directive 23. So we don't know what it is but it pertains to this and which is security sector assistance. This is how we bring in the

2:12:25 Advisors and consultants. This is how the money is going to flow, but it's 2.2 billion that we have It'll be 5 billion to companies who go kill brown people on our behalf And this is a secret directive Yes Yeah The definition of security sector assistance the security sector this is the fact sheet? It's not the actual document which means important parts left out you think The security sector is composed of those institutions to include partner governments and international organizations, what is that? Human Rights Watch, Greenpeace who knows... That have the authority to use force to protect both the state and its citizens at home or abroad. So this gives

2:13:09 international organizations the authority to use force to protect the state and its citizens at home or abroad, to maintain international peace and security, and to enforce the law and provide oversight of those organizations and forces. We've deputized Greenpeace! Or Friends Of The Earth I think is a new one i'm looking at. None of them It includes both military and civilian organizations and personnel operating at the international, regional national and subnational levels. Security sector actors include state security and law enforcement providers... providers? Providers! Right? Providers of that governmental security and justice management and oversight bodies civil society institutions responsible for border management

2:14:03 These are all commercial companies, not government. Customs and civil emergencies and non-state justice and security providers. Security sector assistance refers to the policies programs then activities the United States uses to engage with foreign partners safety safety safety be afraid goals here are the principal goals of this billions of dollars given to people who take no oath they have guns and some kind of funny baloney uniforms Help partner nations build sustainable capacity to address common security challenges, disrupt and defeat transnational threats. What the hell? Promote partner support for U.S interests!

2:14:45 pipelines, promote universal value such as good governance. Rule of law! Good governance at the end of a gun... That's right strengthen collective security and multinational defense arrangements and organizations now just to give you an idea of where this is all taking place I have the overview of where the money is being spent it was crazy to read this um and I have the countries and in some, I'll tell you what is being provided. This is not... So these are commercial companies. Burkina Faso where the hell was that? It's out there and I think it's in the middle of nowhere Africa. Okay counter-terrorism capability enhancement logistics company. Burundi we have mobility support company

2:15:34 National Defense Force Advanced Infantry Development. In Chad, we have logistic companies in Kenya Special Operations Regiment Counterterrorism Capability Aircraft and ISR capability ISR is Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance Nice Yeah you're gonna hear more about this one This is all about China Yes, it is in fact.

Now next actor Dianne Feinstein while you were watching Meg Rogers who was on the way out I was watching Dianne Feinstien and this woman

CHAPTER 26 / 33 Discussion

Dianne Feinstein ISIS Warning, Iraq Regime Reorganization

Senator Dianne Feinstein warned that ISIS is a major brutal threat seeking to establish a caliphate and destroy the border between Syria and Iraq. She expressed support for the administration's "circumspect" approach while calling for a "newly reorganizing" government in Iraq. The hosts interpret this as a euphemism for regime change aimed at removing Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki.

diane feinstein· isis· iraq· maliki· regime change· caliphate· candy crowley

2:17:05 Brings on a meme fest with Candy Crowley. Well, obviously we know about ISIS We've seen its developments in Syria We're aware of the fact that they are recruiting fighters in Europe There have been arrests in Spain France and Germany They've tried to assassinate the head of security in Beirut and they were responsible for the killing of three or four people at a Brussels synagogue. Yeah, they are vicious. They have killed thousands of people. They have cut off heads. Oh no! They've cut off heads! They are a major- Hold on... I'm cutting off their heads!

2:17:48 It gets better. And they are a major brutal bunch and I knew there were a brutal did we know that they are a brutal bunch, John? I heard that the brutal bunch of Iraq could be taken over so quickly. Did we see that coming? I would have to say no. She also didn't see it coming. How is this possible? But yeah, I think we just heard Mike Rogers said that they were briefed and briefed and briefed in brief And the administration, the Democratic Administration did nothing about it but everyone saw it coming. But she didn't see it coming we couldn't know! It's a real wake-up call. She should even see more than he sees No, she seen nothing Nothing They are a major threat We knew they were brutal bunch Did we know that third of Iraq could be taken over so quickly? Did we see that coming I would have to say no. Is this how you scripted

2:18:42 Yeah, hello. Oh it's CNN dude But I think it's a real wake-up call for the United States Because they do want to develop the caliphate They do wanna and they now have just about destroyed the border with Syria I think the president is doing the right thing he's being a bit circumspect he circumspect What does that even mean? He's not doing the right thing. This is what this is about, this is about turning Obama into a warmonger and he's going to have to go, he's gonna have to do it and then he is now killing people and this is what its about, position him to be the guy that pulls the trigger. Being thoughtful I think we're building our so called ISR assets so that some

2:19:36 That's the intelligence surveillance and reconnaissance assets. We're building them with your taxpayer money in pointed action can be taken But but I think the most important thing that I can say today is that the Iraqi state as a state is in danger? That there is a limited period of time that ayatollah Ali Sistani, and his message that we cannot repeat the met mistakes of the past that this Iraqi government, newly reorganizing. Newly reorganizing? Pay attention new words for regime change! Has to move and develop a coterie of leaders that can quickly reach out and reconcile or else we're in the middle of a major Sunni Shia war. That's my hope Yes though it's... I have a couple just simple questions

2:20:32 Now these guys, Mike Rogers said this and I want to get back from our little segue coming up. I want to play some more clips now The question is when these guys ISIS group was setting up shop supposedly in eastern Syria area which is was not controlled by the Syrian government. The Jihadi Disneyland you mean? The Jihadi Disneyland, exactly! They had these training camps that they put together... Now we have drones And we knew about these training camps. Why didn't we just drone, do it all over Pakistan? We identify these guys out of the blue they're in the middle of nowhere's ville. Why would we drone the guys that we trained in Jordan to cause this uh this rubbleization I'm just asking the question because it seems to me that somebody should bring this up even though we're cynically bringing it up because you just said you know that were behind at all

2:21:32 But why doesn't somebody bring it up as an issue, as a topic? As something to say what if... Why don't we do this or that. They never do that! Well I'll go... They just wring their hands and then they go oh god what are we gonna do now We gotta get rid of Maliki And that's the solution everything Yes, and this is exactly what is going to happen Maliki will go under regime but under reorganization She has a better word for it. She has a better word for in a minute You're gonna pivot No you'll hear the term Well, so the ISIS what they're calling ISIS is synonymous with the Syrian rebels that we were funding and training in Jordan. I have in the show notes 629er.noagendanotes.com but I have links to Der Spiegel who

CHAPTER 27 / 33 Discussion

Passport Terrorists, European Visa Restrictions

A new security narrative focuses on "passport fighters"—Western citizens with European or American passports fighting for ISIS who could return home to launch attacks. Senator Feinstein and Representative Mike Rogers specifically highlighted Germany and Spain as points of concern. This rhetoric is seen as a precursor to clamping down on the ESTA visa waiver system and expanding surveillance powers in the UK and US.

passport fighters· visa waiver· germany· spain· esta· surveillance· no-fly list

2:22:22 has the training of the rebels in Jordan. We knew that they had 1,200 people of the Free Syrian Army in camps I got The Guardian reporting on this Reuters reporting on this This is well known but you are now watching and it's hard It's even hard for me sometimes to believe That the news media Is completely scripted compromised and lying But it's clear! They're not telling the truth They just aren't. And Finkelstein here, let's throw some fear into people please. Is the ISIS an immediate threat to US homeland security? Now is that a... tell me is this Candy Crowley who's getting Dianne Feinstein for 20 minutes does she sit at home pooping on the toilet and this is her question?! This is her question!

2:23:18 Of which Wow answer is obvious. Well, the real answers bull no Well, well, yo exactly ISIS an immediate threat to US homeland security Well I believe it can be I believe that the recruiting in Europe and There's no question in these three places Spain Germany now. This is the second time she's bringing up Spain and Germany Hello, Germany be careful. Yeah, let me say something oh my god Did you see something? If you see something, say something. In fact I did! I saw Mike Rogers say the same thing. Do you have actually targeting Germany? Do you have a clip? It's in one of these long clips and i don't know which one it is we'll get to it pull it out

2:24:08 But, take my word for it. Actually Mike Rogers on the no-fly zone, the no fly list which we'll play in a little while I think it's in there. Same thing! It's Germany he says they got national... They got passport from Germany The guy is gonna to go to Germany and now he can waltz into United States without a visa. In fact we have a term for this We have a term for this. Passport terrorists replaces Spain, Germany the number of passport fighters, passport fighters. We know there are at least 100 Americans that have gone to their arena to fight who have an American passport who are going to try to get back we know that they can go back to the European country and if it's a visa waiver country come right into the United States. Okay stop

2:24:57 You're esti- you're esti-programming. So let me just, this is another question that comes to mind we are going to restrict Visa restrict access from Germany or the EU to the United States. That's what the end result would which what they're all saying in such a way Yeah, gives them an excuse it is why are we going to do this? Is it just for the fees so we can pay for you know because we don't have enough money What is the point well Well, he can't say well and then stop talking I'm thinking multiple things one

2:25:39 Germany is a little too big for their britches and I believe there is a movement amongst the neocons, the Kagan's, the Neudelmann's, the Kerry's to put them in their place. Those gas chamber people that this... There is something about Germany that is... And have some other proof of that that the neocons are not liking. And that has to do with, of course, Ukraine and Russia etc., because they're doing business with Russia! Big business! This is related to the... Oh okay. Because this is related to the NSA stuff too which was targeting the Germans. Merkel! So we get the Germans being targeted by the NSA now we're making all this noise about these passport terrorists going through mostly Germany they're talking about Spain she mentions it once but everybody

2:26:35 Rogers is Germany, Germany, Germany. The Germans are screwing us out of the... Screwin' with the Russians kind of thing because they get all the pipelines are coming through Germany and then they're embedded with the Russians and we still... And so it all boils down I hate to say it right back to Snowden This is where I think we need to build our intelligence To see that we can disrupt the plot in this country before it happens because there will be plots to kill Americans ah There will be plots to kill Americans a liberal plot probably

2:27:16 So yes, you're right. This is the ESTA visa system this I believe you're right it will be clamped down on perhaps for the entire EU but it seems like people from Spain and Germany will be denied easy access now down to the final... This of course will solve nothing when it comes to terrorists but yeah it will make your life difficult. Yeah! And I think Dianne Feinstein just gets off on it. It makes her horny I have power. That is not a pretty thought what is the US contingency plan? Contingency plan What does the definition of a contingency plan John in case of emergency break glass? What is the u.s.? Contingency plan for this Candidly, I don't know what oh well Thanks You're running the show and you have no break glass planned the us contingency Plan is for a complete takeover Of Syria and Iraq

CHAPTER 28 / 33 Discussion

Muqtada al-Sadr Return, Kurdish Oil Interests

The Mahdi Army, led by cleric Muqtada al-Sadr, is reportedly mobilizing again in Iraq to counter the ISIS advance. Senator Feinstein emphasized the need for a "reconciliation government" that ensures the Kurds retain their share of oil revenues. The hosts point out that Kurdish oil is a critical geopolitical factor, with significant exports flowing through Turkey and Israel to European markets.

muqtada al-sadr· mahdi army· kurds· oil pipelines· israel· iran· reconciliation

2:28:14 I do know that what we're on the foot of is a major Sunni Shia war. So, the question comes... Don't say anything about Snowden or pipelines but it's Sunni-Shia war! What John Kerry is doing is important he's in Cairo hopefully he's gonna meet with... Oh yeah by the way he handed out to half a billion dollars to Sisi there five hundred million dollars was it five billion maybe was billions I don't know. It wasn't, well we only give them three or four billion a year so it'd probably be some pittance. Let me just hold on while have it here. Show notes...

2:28:52 U.S. unlocks military aid, $575 million dollars. With Qatar, with Saudi Arabia... Our friends! ...with other Sunni nations and say look we need your help at the same time I think and this is my view that we should be talking with Iran You have to realize Sunnis are in the majority in the world and the Shia now with the mobilization of Muqtada al-Sadr's Mahdi army. Oh what? That guy is back now?! We had... This never ends! This is great, this is Muqtada al-Sadr and his Mahdi army. And by the way somebody pointed out on one of these shows where's the Arab League

2:29:47 Good point. Where's the Arab League? I don't know, part of the Al-Qaeda army...I don't know! At the height, the Mahdi Army's popularity was strong enough to influence local government, police and cooperation with Sunni Iraqis and their supporters The group was popular amongst Iraqi police forces National Independent Cadres, an elite party that ran in 2005 Iraqi elections were closely linked with the army This disbanded but now Feinstein is talking like they're just back And indeed we have NBC- The band, they gotta get the band back. Hey man we're getting the band back together! The headline anti US cleric Moktada al-Sadr retakes stage amid Iraq turmoil They are doing anything they can That will be tens of thousands of Shiite fighters Kicking ass and on the verge of something very serious Elephants in Iraq I think i'm gonna crack my pants

2:30:47 And I think we have to meet it. I think our allies have to help us and I think Iran can play a major role in moving out Maliki. Candy Crawley is coughing her lungs out. She's got acid reflux issues. Developing a reconciliation government, that is if there is the desire to maintain Iraq as a state No. The Supreme Leader in Iran has said the US needs to stay out of this, Iraqi troops can handle this. How much credence should we give that? Well I think we should stay out of it right now. I think the reconciliation has to be done. Reconciliation! That's it

2:31:32 That reconciliation new term for sorry buster regime change. Well, I think we should stay out of it right now i think the reconciliation has to be done through a new government in Iraq and it has to be effective We've got to keep the Kurds we've got to enable them to have some share of oil get outstanding tax receipts do those kinds of things and... Outsta- what? What?! What's she talking about? Sounds like our 51st state or something. Tax receipts, what?! Outstanding tax... Hold on I gotta roll that back.

2:32:09 We've got to keep the Kurds, we've got to enable them to have some share of oil. Get outstanding tax receipts... Now this is interesting she is literally saying pipelines! We have to make sure the Kurds get their share of oil which is now going directly to Israel and some of it to Turkey but a lot of it via Israel to Europe. We've got to keep the Kurds, we've got to enable them to have... Keep the Kurds? It's it she saying it have some share of oil get outstanding tax receipts do those kinds of things and I think there has to be Sunni participation in the government otherwise, um, it's a real problem. Okie-dokie There you go Shall we uh talking about receipts? Oh, sorry. Do you want to take a little break?

CHAPTER 29 / 33 Discussion

Producer Donations, Home Winemaking Anecdote

The show processes various listener donations, including a "sack of sevens" for a producer undergoing a medical procedure. A discussion about a gift of homemade German-style wine from New York leads to an analysis of the "world-class" quality of small-batch winemaking. The hosts also briefly mention the struggling wine sector in Turkey due to new alcohol marketing regulations.

donations· uruguay· bone marrow biopsy· karma· winemaking· turkey· bayer

2:33:00 I would think that we could take a break. Okay, so... By taking a break of course we mean thanking some of our people that contributed to the show became producers for Show 629 It actually is a break from the incredible douche knuckles that we deal with on a daily basis Get rid of all these people, please. So an anonymous donation came in from Uruguay of $130 and 16 cents And there's a note here says JCDs rant about anonymous donations A lot of these donations that come in anonymously you know I personally prefer would either come in as a check or

2:33:55 Because it's very easy to anonymize that you just don't put it I just don't send them. I just don't list it for Eric to put on this on this particular presentation or That's how Tim anonymous came in more to do $49.99 and if you wanted to contribute 400 bucks, you just do four of those donations right? It's easier on us because the chances of missing the donation thing is higher if it's a donation like $130.16, I just want to make that clear to people. That we always try to keep anonymous where you are but... Happens so but this guy got through with the right thing but again made me want to do that rant Charles Gene Kohler in Mount Terrace Washington not an anonymous donation one two three four five that did come in as a check actually

2:34:42 Chris Hefley, Galleon Ohio $100 precision creations the woodlands Texas hundred dollars. Where's that? I have no idea Stashkov Vladimir stashkov in Russia in Russia Oh wait it is a special kind of donation which I was not ready for 999. Yes, correct. Sir Mitch Bidron in Long Beach California another special donation of $77.77 That's not a that's a sack of sevens but we don't have uh... Oh I thought he had a sack of sevens He has uh..he did send an email note asking for it and then we should give it to him if he is going into a bone marrow biopsy

2:35:27 Is that today that he's doing that? Well, not today. It's Sunday but he'll be doing that and you need some karma just to make sure he's okay I think and he's a sir as in night He says I'm pulling my my knighthood. He's got some no dissent Yes, I hate to pull the night card yes But if i am afraid I need too would you please bestow a little karma on me? I'm getting a bone marrow biopsy I mean them in the morning And could use all the help I can get and that's all they asked for absolutely of course Knights have privileges. You've got karma. Knights definitely have privileges, by the way I did the rain stick on Sunday? Yeah non-stop here good Non stop! I can do it again bring mine out when it is pretty powerful yeah Kristen Smith in Blighton Lincolnshire UK $75

I got published, you got paid...a win-win situation! Regards Torben Brendan Peterson." Thank you very much and we read all your notes everything you guys send in it's always highly appreciated as is i don't know did you ever get the wine from Elise Garling? From her family in New York yeah the German wine they make it in New York at their house there at their brownstone oh no that's a different one

2:42:22 I believe so. It's a red, 2011... So we cracked that last night or two nights ago? Oh my god! Well maybe now i'm wondering whether I got it. I'll take a picture of the label Yeah because if I got it I may have put it aside because I don't remember opening it that's for sure Mickey was like saying hey you know we want to buy a case I'm like, they don't sell it. You can not buy it from them. The home winemakers occasionally make world-class wine and I've always discussed this you know if you're babying go by the best grapes you can afford you make some wine follow all the right procedures and you make a barrel plus probably a demi-jean you want to have something top off your barrels so you have some left over in a glass container

2:43:13 big barrel of the wine and then you baby it. You just essentially monitor that barrel, and you check it, and you're just real careful with it, and they top it off so it ages as long as you think it should, then you bottle it... Gee I'm sorry I brought this up! Very often this is world-class product It is SO delicious But there's not a lot of it, it is usually drunk by them and it competes. That what makes me think... that why I believe that you take Chateau Latour or Chateau Margaux 275,000 bottles of world-class wine. That's where the real genius is. Yeah it's hard to do... It's hard to do that yes it's not as hard if you know what you're doing to make one great barrel and you know the Turkey's wine sector is pretty much done did they make any wine worth drinking?

2:44:10 In Turkey? Yeah, actually when I was in Greece and had the Greek wines and then went to Turkey they had their local Turkish wines. They were good! Turkish wine sector suffering from marketing restrictions brought about by new alcohol regulations. It wouldn't surprise me. Bad news there but anyway... She at least sent me a picture of her and a salmon which she got one of those king salmons. Yeah delicious Another thing I'd love from her. She's just she said we have amazing people listening Yeah, I'll take a picture of the label you can see it, but I've been asked oh yeah where they do with that Okay Think that is it we want to thank everybody even of course Perhaps even in particular the people who donate monthly weekly lower amounts anonymously

2:45:05 You keep us going and we appreciate it. It's a value for value system And if you get any value, then give us some value back. It seems that we help people live a healthier life. Sanity is our middle name. Then we have two nightings today, which is nice.

Polish Tape Scandal, EU Army Ambitions

The Polish government is embroiled in a scandal following the release of secret recordings in which Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski used vulgar language to describe Poland's relationship with the United States. The leaks have destabilized the state and raised questions about European alliances. Meanwhile, there are renewed calls for a stronger EU military industry and the eventual creation of a European army.

2:45:55 They were our top two executive producers. Double nice! Yeah, double nice so grab your blade there... Do you have your blade? It's stuck. Gee it never gets old John, it's stuck. Anonymous NATO man step forward and mic And please go to

2:46:43 NoahGeneration.com slash rings and wouldn't it be funny if you're in Brussels at NATO, you know? And then you're walking around and see these guys on the dais and all of a sudden bling! There's little night rings shining at ya'. How cool would that be? Very cool I think. Then you say in the morning ICM... I always love when I get an In The Morning. Did you hear what happened in Poland Yeah, some funny stuff. So Europe is in disarray a big disarray and they're frightening the citizens everywhere

2:47:27 So I think I told you a couple of shows ago about this magazine that overheard Polish politicians. So now there's this huge scandal, there may have to be new elections because the foreign minister has been saying things that have been caught on audio tape. He says Cameron is incompetent is no good, which is always good to say about your European partners. But then there's this little ditty which... let me see where it is here? They'll bleep but I have the exact words... why isn't starting? I have the exact words but just want to give you a news report first. Polish government has said an organized criminal group is trying to destabilize the state by... That would usually be us! If someone was trying to destabilize something

2:48:16 I'd look at the Americans. By releasing details of secretly recorded conversations between ministers and officials, a magazine published what it claims are excerpts of a conversation between Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski and former Finance Minister Jack Szek. The Polish government has indirectly confirmed the authenticity of the leaked conversations which you're talking about where we hear the foreign minister calling his country's alliance with America worthless. And during the conversation, Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski gets quite vulgar describing Warsaw's relationship to Washington in one which Poland is the partner who is always performing sexual favors and receiving nothing in return." The actual word he used was blowjob!

2:49:05 You see, Poland is always blowing America and we don't get anything in return except a pearly necklace. Yeah so this is not... there's all kinds of stuff going on and it's like... Well this is like Newt Neumann saying you know fuck the EU. How come she still got a job? Because she is part of the team! She's on the team. So we have now The EU wanting a stronger military industry, which means EU army. Which is coming... the one thing that they say will never have a European army well there you go that didn't last long. Well we have to have one or war won't break out! The Dutch will be sending more troops Afghanistan for the NATO mission. Albania now on deck being considered for membership

UK ISIS Fearmongering, Surveillance Power Expansion

The BBC is accused of using "bad radio plays" and actors to portray angry extremists to justify increased government surveillance in the UK. Former Defense Secretary Liam Fox argued that the ISIS threat necessitates greater powers for security services to intercept communications. The hosts suggest the public is being conditioned to "give in" to total internet monitoring for the sake of safety.

2:50:03 Brother. Mm-hmm well and Albania of course is uniquely qualified to be a part of the blockade against Russia Yes, good spot very good spot And then there's a lot of just complete fear mongering about Isis and and the Brits man they are Well okay here is the BBC interviewing an actor as far as I'm concerned But it's an angry Muslim man And this is the passport fighters that Finkelstein and Roger Hammer, ooh! It's Roger Stephen Finkelheimer have been talking about. Think these wars they're killing all these innocent people for nothing This is supposed to be an angry Muslim man but I believe it's an actor I think they should be killed everyone should be treated equally and people aren't being treated equally and its wrong I don't know what's going on but it needs to be stopped

2:51:03 You seem incredibly angry. It's making me upset, because it's like... It's making me upset by very angry! It is like a bad radio play. A very bad radio play And listen to the whole different ambience of the recording even with her mic and his mic People aren't being treated equally and it's wrong I don't know what's going on but it needs to be stopped You seem incredibly angry. It's making me upset because I- Hello, editing 101! I live here but i might have family back there and they're getting killed for no reason it makes me very upset my family are from Pakistan but we live here in England

2:51:38 But I'm just giving you an example if my family were living in Syria. I want to go there and kill them people Makes me angry at the same time He's not even a very good actor, but now we'll go out on the streets because of course We're very very frightened of the Isis And the ISIS are gonna come in they're plotting to kill Britons Yeah, can you stop for a second? Because I would make this bet that And I'd make it here and I'd make it there too. If you actually did go out on the streets, and you didn't have to go through a million people to find one guy... You could go from person-to-person asking what do you think about ISIS? And they would go, What?! You mean ice in my scotch? Ice! What do you mean? Ice in this beer? No, I don't like ice in the beer. ICE is not good. ICE IS NOT GOOD. ICIS. ICE IS. ICE IS. Not ICE IS. DJ ISIS? Yeah, that's what I'm saying.

2:52:34 Well, listen to... Now it sounds like this is a real person. It's only one of course but she is being propagated and held up to get everyone into the program because obviously ISIS threat justifies greater surveillance powers in the UK. Oh! That is obvious. This makes sense. This is according to what's his name? Defense Secretary Liam Fox. Yes, right right right let me see what he says Britain security services may need to be given greater powers of surveillance to monitor extremists from ISIS when they return home to Britain from Iraq and Syria the former defense secretary Liam Fox that I'm sorry former

2:53:30 A majority of people accept that an ideological battle means that authorities will need greater powers to intercept the communications of extremists. I think the Britons will be all in on this. Surely their internet can be checked just to see what they've been looking up before they go and the conversations that they've been having? This is a big controversial area because that means snooping, you know The government always says, look if you haven't committed a crime you've got nothing to fear. But nobody really likes the idea of having people peering into your emails. It's not just- But it could save lives eventually that's what you might have to do Oh no! We have to give in I mean if you want to be safe eventually you just have to do it Give in citizen give in

2:54:16 That's... that is pretty much. That's our EU report, or UK report. I think that's all the... well we have um... All the bad news there is. Yeah Farage put his group together Looks like Juncker will become the replacement for Barroso which leaves Helethorn Schmitzerin The selfie hottie from Denmark opened for the Heiko Herrmann job. Yeah, I think that should be perfect Fantastic and you know she'll be saying all kinds of funny stuff would be great. Oh yeah, no she's a goofball It'll be great for the show very excited about that We're talking about Germany there was something else and this popped up there was a presidential notification Let me use...the new Noah Jenner search hold on because we had this in the show notes

CHAPTER 32 / 33 Discussion

Presidential Bee Task Force, German Pesticide War

President Obama established a federal task force to address the decline of honey bees, a move the hosts link to a broader "war on Germany." Research suggests that pesticides produced by German company Bayer, such as Imidacloprid, are responsible for colony collapse, despite these chemicals being used in Australia without similar effects. The environmental group Friends of the Earth is identified as a key lobbyist pushing this narrative against German chemical interests.

honey bees· colony collapse disorder· bayer· pesticides· friends of the earth· germany· monsanto

2:55:10 Let's see if this works. I love your bongos! Okay, i'm going to put in here... bees and indeed show 628 White House task force charged with saving bees from mysterious decline presidential memorandum creating a federal strategy to promote the health of honey bees and other pollinators I always thought this was a conspiracy theory. That's what people... Oh, the honeybees! It's Conspiracy Theory! Monsanto!

2:55:48 Well, turns out there's something going on with the bees. Oregon leaders are taking action as thousands and thousands of bees are dying likely from pesticides it's a big concern because insects especially honeybees pollinate about 1 3rd of what we eat The dead beets have shown up in Sandy and Estacada beekeeper Matt Reed went to a friend's home in Sandy to check out a beehive and found thousands of dead bees inside The bees have no idea these chemicals are in the nectar that they're sucking out of these plants. They take it back to their hive and they feed it to other bees, into their young and it will kill the entire colony

2:56:28 There was also a report of thousands of dead bees in Eugene. The Oregon Department of Agriculture is suspending the license of a Eugene company that used a pesticide that likely contributed to the die-off." Okay, so of course I'm seeing this... Wait a minute what is going on? I actually immediately thought we have it's competition something's going on now So I go down my little rabbit hole CBS, what's killing the honey bees? Mystery may be solved! Well this is amazing we have- The president has a whole task force but CBS solved the mystery of Colony Collapse Disorder known as CCD. It turns out it's two pesticides in particular that have been linked to these mass bee deaths Those pesticides would be Imidacloprid

2:57:25 It's in the book of knowledge. India Mike, India Delta? Wait...India Mike, India Delta Alpha Charlie Alpha Charlie Lima Oscar Papa Oscar Papa Romeo India Delta Romeo India Delta Okay Oh it's Bayer Thank you! What kind of company is that? German Now let's go to the next one Clothianidin Charlie we didn't have to look that one up, but I'm assuming. That's a German so that's our thesis Yes it is a German exactly Now the people who are really propagating this are fo e Friends boy I should do an echo for that one these guys deserve it hold on a second its friends of the earth my goodness

2:58:26 Now I think there's a sidetrack to this. So one is it's the Germans with their horrible pesticides, but the FOE specifically says that these pesticides are used in products sold... created by Germans sold by... where is it? Home Depot Lowe's and Walmart Then if you look at this Friends of Earth, I'm thinking this is also some kind of union scam. Some union busting scam or something going on because why specifically Home Depot Lowe's and Walmart? And if you look at this Friends of the Earth... Okay here we are before you continue I've got to point something out to make sure that people are aware that what

2:59:12 evolving here is, I think the point's gonna be very well taken. Because one of the things that we noticed on a show about it month ago is that most of these... That bee colony collapse has not happened in Australia? Yeah how was how was that possible and so now I looked at up by what you are talking I looked up this the first one they mimicloprid or whatever its pronounced I can't tell actually able to pronounce these things but I can't which is the Bayer product despite this product being banned in France for more than 10 years, bee colony collapse disorder has not decreased. In Australia where it's widely used there are no reports of bee colony collapse disorder! So this is either about the Germans

2:59:59 Or there's something with this union thing, which I haven't quite figured out but they specifically call it Friends of the Earth. Now, Friends of the Earth, FOE dot org They do about five million in revenue not a huge organization But they're affiliated to you know this is Sierra Club This is a subdivision of the Sierra club and if you look at their board of directors Whitney Blustein & Bluestein Associates LLC Whitney Bluestein is strategic advisor. So they have an actual law firm who is the board, Whitney Bluestein from Bluestein Associates then we have Janie Chase founder and CEO of the Center for Environmental Education then we have Cecil D Corbin Mark

3:00:49 Policy initiatives in New York. Harriet Crosby, co-founder and president of Institute for Soviet American Relations I found that kind of interesting because maybe there's a German thing there Clarence Dittow director center for auto safety then we have There was like a typical shill down here Oh Avis Ogilvie Moore big advertising shills in there Stephen Nemeth, founder CEO of Rhino Films. He gets all the video deals Chris Payne very famous guy who did Who Killed The Electric Car? You remember that? Yep Arlie Schardt Founder Director Environmental Media Services Chair I'm seeing electric cars on the road. I thought they were killed David Zwick founder Clean Water Action

3:01:48 and a very, very big powerful lobbying group with their connection of course with the Sierra Club. And then just to throw it in my face they have consultants who they also list They have David Freeman senior advisor he's one of the friends of the Earth's nuclear campaign what has he done? He is a renowned expert on clean energy I'm sure written some books Fred Felleman Long time, but wait here comes Ian Illuminato. Now when you name it... That is indeed his real name If your name is Ian Illuminato? I mean come on! That just slayed me right there all right so get to your point and so my point is There is something afoot because the president comes up with as you just pointed out this bogative

3:02:46 All of a sudden it's really important, the bee colony. If you mentioned this a year ago was a conspiracy theory now it's mysterious and we need a presidential task force and it turns out it's all German chemicals and the companies that sell are big union A-hole companies so what is going on? You tell me! I think we've already identified what's going on It said war on Germany Kind of a switch if you think about it. Krieg am Deutschland! Why don't you play Mike Rogers on the no-fly list? This guy should be ashamed of himself for this line of thinking. This would also make sense by the way, the use of the term blitzkrieg would also be an anti-German sentiment. Today United States plays Germany

No-Fly List Ruling, World Cup Match Fixing

A federal judge in Oregon ruled that the current no-fly list procedures violate the Fifth Amendment's due process clause. In sports news, allegations of match-fixing and corruption surround the Ghana national team at the World Cup. The show concludes with a report that Germany ended a Verizon contract due to NSA spying fears, further signaling a diplomatic rift between the two nations.

3:03:35 I predict we're gonna kick their ass. We have to, it only makes sense." I wasn't in the Senate briefing but i imagine that's what those senators walked out thinking this is pretty bad and they have complete safe haven there's nothing to disrupt their activity they can plan it finance it train for it the training camps have been unabetted for years just let it go that's how you get to this place where you wonder And of course the most recent court ruling that says you can't have a no-fly list. Perfect, that's a great recipe for disaster. There was a federal ruling I think yesterday on that. In Oregon? Was it Oregon? It was Oregon. It was the Federal District Court for the District of Oregon.

3:04:20 We might as well get you to say a little more about it. You said that putting, the procedures for putting someone on the no-fly list were inadequate violated the Fifth Amendment right to due process called on Homeland Security Department to provide more information to people about why they're on the list and also ways for getting off of this so you would disagree with that? So we have, according to public reports an organization trying to build bombs that circumvent security. They're working with another organization according to public reports in Syria that have expressed interest in trying to show their chops by having a international terrorist attack and now you just had a judge rule that you can't put someone on the no-fly list You tell me why I can't sleep at night

3:05:07 That makes no sense whatsoever. And by the way, the international community has no fly lists that means you'll just be able to fly domestically Congratulations! That is about the worst of all world. I-that makes no sense to me whatsoever if they want to refine them maybe they can do that and They ought to look at refining them fairly quickly I thought they had the German part in it, but i guess not. No no no they had no German part... But we're on the lookout now! It's clear there's a war like Krieg am Deutschland is what we're calling it Here's another possibility for what could be a nil-nil match The Germans win by cheating

3:05:48 Yeah, they'll have a hands or something. There will be hands but the ref won't call it Did you have you seen all this Ghana stuff by the way talking about cheating in soccer? No Oh my gosh So Ghana By the way I want to mention this everyone so they know I'm sincere about this I'm not really paying much attention to these games oh no fine i'll do that I like it Okay, so Macau busted a six-some guy got bit the other day Whatever. Macau busted up a $645 million World Cup betting ring, which was completely fixed University of Canberra says World Cup at risk of match fixing Now Ghana who we beat I will point out just sent a plane with three million dollars To calm the team down because they're like hey We're not getting paid where's our money because I guess that they're corrupt

3:06:42 And now they have this... Oh, so wait. What you're saying is hey you guys are supposed to be betting on your own game that's how you make your money dummies. Oh yeah well... Throw a game and you'll do fine! Exactly right then I have a little bit of a clip it's undercover video and it's much easier to see the video with the subtitles but I'll tell you what the guy is saying And then you can get a little context. So this is an official from the Ghana Football Association, who was saying oh no we just buy off the refs and then the players... yeah you gotta pay the players a little bit because this guy's looking to have the match thrown, the Ghana match thrown.

3:07:22 You'll notice the second guy, because there's a woman asking him questions. He says the whole thing is corrupt from FIFA in Switzerland all the way down to Sudan he says football is one big corrupt business duh? Everywhere it happens, the referees can cheat their matches Absolutely absolutely so This is an optional score that you can look at. You probably can't hear that, can you? No I cannot When you have games that are nil-nil, you know something's wrong with the sport itself Now they got a US game...I think it went like this The U.S scored 1 and it became a one nothing game And that's the way was supposed to end and then I think what happened something there You know They're fooling around trying to stall the game and some bonehead kicked it in

3:08:08 And so it became 1-1. And now they're screwed because now the Americans who just stink, by the way we stink at soccer So we...the Americans now have to score again because they're supposed to win! So the Ghana guys say you know They're doing everything except kicking in of the goal..the American goals or their own goal They didn't do that, but they was pretty damn close to it. And so the Americans finally got their one...they got the second point and then okay now we can go home happy But these games are obviously just ridiculous Yes So are we ready to make the final call? Because I'm feeling if there truly is a war on Germany

3:08:49 This would be the battle royale. I have a feeling we're gonna win this one because... We've got, you know like, hey you guys throw the game or we kill Merkel. Oh God! Or something like that Well i think The American team is probably- We have video and audio tape of all these players Hey look what you were doing last night oops Oops, well you're gonna say that Americans gonna win the game versus Germany. Yes, that's my I'm going to Stick with my guns and say the Germans are gonna win by cheating so we can emphasize So and I think the Germans are gonna go into the finals with I mean the German Netherlands game would be interesting but they should

3:09:34 Maybe get to the end Brazil's winning the whole thing There's no question in my mind about that seems to be the only thing possible unless you want all of Of that country to just erupt around a stadium down in flames. Yeah, yes And they're the favorites You know to make it so it's not like a big surprise and they're all notorious for being good soccer players Well I like your theory of the Germans win by a hair by cheating I like that because then we can build up some hate on for their Blitz am Deutschland, their blitzkrieg on deutschland. I like that idea! Something is up and i think this whole show today even though we didn't plan it... No not at all in fact i wasn't even thinking about bringing in the bees

3:10:16 And now it's apparent that something is up and they're gonna stick it to Germany. And thats why these guys are on TV bitching about Germany, because the Germans obviously didn't play ball with us on whatever we were trying to do...the Russians. Hold on I guess they played the game already. Germany won 1-0 Well let see if they cheated Well, that'll be in the news stories. The Germans won already. Right on top of this thing! Hey I got it for you folks we can't wait to watch this game Wow let's see let's see German... Let's just google the stories now hold on Germany USA cheat let's see if someone's already

3:11:10 I don't see any cheats. One nil! But USA advances after losing to Germany because of the score, I guess? Uh...I don't know how that works. We gotta get outta here we're running over time. Yeah okay i'll keep uh I got some good nuclear stuff. I'll keep that, what else do we have? Should we just leave or should... I think were good, we can move it to the Sunday show, I'm gonna be short! I've got stuff on dirty bombs from our nuclear knight Sir Atomic Rod. We've got some great info on dirty bombs. I've got a government executive story EPA employees told to stop pooping away. Yeah gee read The Verge much

3:11:56 This is the original story in Government Executive Magazine. The Verge picked up on it. Yes, and every single... you can google it now that story and every single story has a picture of a toilet! Yeah. Alright so that'll be cut. We won't be doing that story then? No Hey we'll have the results of the USA-Germany match for ya. Yeah And I'm predicting a 1 nil score Hold on a second. I'm getting, I'm getting something from the chat room German Parliament Verizon What am i supposed to do with this? I don't know we'll deal with it over the next few days So we're I think we're onto something new And we stumbled upon just by accident By just going over these news stories in detail NSA fears prompt Germany To end Verizon contract with German parliament Oh that means war
