About this episode

President Barack Obama authorized targeted airstrikes near Erbil, Iraq, ostensibly to prevent a humanitarian catastrophe involving ISIS and the Yazidi population. However, the heavy presence of ExxonMobil and Chevron infrastructure in the region suggests the military intervention serves to protect the Kurdish oil corridor. The administration is now moving toward the Biden Doctrine, a 2006 proposal by Joe Biden and Leslie Gelb to partition Iraq into three autonomous regions, effectively Balkanizing the state to secure Western energy interests.

Secretary of State John Kerry intervened in the Afghan election audit to favor Ashraf Ghani, while Turkish President Erdogan navigates internal Gulenist strife and shifting alliances with Russia. In the United States, the High-Rise Safety Initiative in New York City is pushing for a new investigation into the collapse of World Trade Center Building 7. Meanwhile, former Defense Secretary Robert Gates warns that Vladimir Putin views Kiev as the linchpin of a historical mission to restore the Russian Empire, utilizing economic leverage and cyber warfare against the Baltic states.

Mary Lou Henner describes her rare eidetic memory as a robot power, while a bipedal black bear named Vinny gains national fame for walking upright through New Jersey neighborhoods. The segment on The Economist highlights an absurdly detailed guide to prostitution pricing, and a Secret Service tell-all by Ronald Kessler reveals the internal dread agents feel when assigned to Hillary Clinton's detail.

Dystopian Steampunk San Francisco Dream and Supermoon

A detailed account of a vivid dream featuring a dystopian, steampunk version of San Francisco where police cars are powered by steam engines and operate on trolley tracks. The narrative links the strange nature of the dream to the occurrence of a supermoon, which also caused restless sleep and late-night moon-watching for others.

New Brownsfeld Smoker and 26th Wedding Anniversary

A discussion regarding a 26th wedding anniversary gift, specifically a New Brownsfeld side-burner smoker from Texas. The conversation covers the technical merits of different vertical bullet-style smokers, including the Brinkmann brand, and mentions celebrating with a magnum of 2,000 Croft vintage port and brisket in Austin.

new brownsfeld· anniversary· texas barbecue· brinkmann· vintage port

02:57 Okay. The overuse of the word weird, ladies and gentlemen... Yes I know, we're trying to get rid of it. We're trying to combat it. I've been catching myself so I'm on my way to recovery So congratulations! Happy anniversary on your 26th, the so-called paperclip anniversary. Yes exactly And what did you receive from your lovely wife? A giant barbecue pit a hole in the ground No no, its a new bronze fill. I used to have a new bronze fill in Albany and then it just decades of use, it just rotted and fell apart. A new Bronzefell what is called? New N-E-W Brownsfell is the name of the brand is New Brownsfell out at Texas, Brownsfeld Texas Oh yes And its a side burner, its a smoker real Texas style, so Texas style smoker Now I'm looking at one right now okay as in I know what it is Yeah nice Nice!

03:52 It's nice, good product. And do you get to take it back to California? I got different barbecue down there So the idea is... so it's a hint, it's a subtle hint No there's no... what hint? Like come up here and smoke more often No we've got two... We've got three barbecues up here and I got about four down south Really? Yeah, including the bullet. My favorite one which I don't use as much as I should is they there's a wet smoker from Brinkman used to be called the cookin Cajun and then bring him in bottom and it's a vertical Bullet style And you have to if anyone was gonna buy one of these send me some email first because there's two kinds It's both called Brinkmann One of them does not work

04:38 I'm looking at them now. Which one does not... the red one probably doesn't work? That looks like the boogity ones. But there's two styles, a square one and an around bullet one more squarish. The square one doesn't work! That's interesting we had barbecue Friday yeah at the County Lion which is pretty famous here in Austin then Miss Mickey ate a whole brisket Pretty surprised. You can't eat a whole brisket, it's four pounds of meat! A whole serving of brisket which even that is a lot but that's because you know she had some... But depends on how many pieces you cut off It was big I don't know it was like well you know in Texas they get the right kind of briskets and the right kind of cows slow-cooked for 14 hours We do not get the right brisket to make a good brisket we get the cows the ones that are really black and look really happy though they're roaming around here have you ever seen those?

05:35 Yes, yeah they're roaming around the streets. I saw one day really happy-looking cows and what did you get smiling cow? What'd you get for Mimi?

CHAPTER 03 / 55 Discussion

Prolotherapy Treatment for Chronic Back Pain

An exploration of prolotherapy, also known as regenerative injection therapy, used to treat chronic lower back pain. The procedure involves injecting an irritant solution, typically dextrose or sugar water, into joint spaces or ligaments to stimulate the body's natural healing process. The treatment was observed in an Austin clinic utilizing continuous x-ray imaging for needle guidance.

prolotherapy· regenerative injection therapy· dextrose· x-ray· chronic pain

07:11 So what did you do? Oh, well I'm glad you asked. But uh...I learned something new from the medical world Uh-oh Have you ever heard of prolotherapy? Prolo...? I might have heard of it Yeah, prolotherapy or regenerative injection therapy Was originally used by Hippocrates over 2,500 years ago to heal a javelin thrower shoulder pain. Oh you have a shoulder pain? No Mickey has had various ever since Tokyo she had this horrible lower back pain You know got all twisted sitting on the plane and it really hadn't gone away if this is the second time she's been To this

07:59 Doctor in Austin who was one is another witch doctor. This is a high-tech doctor They've got a huge Setup where they're so the which doctor do is no good on this deal The witch doctor helped with with some cupping procedures and but this this is really being procedure Yeah, are you not familiar with the what is with this guy? I like him that's that's the What's the I forget what it's called now? The pushing down on your arm thing while you hold on to the vial slip my mind anyway Because I'm thinking of this prolotherapy which I found to be very interesting Of course, it's something that actually works Which means depth of creating irritation or injury to stimulate healing has been recorded as early as Roman times. Yes That's a hot needles were poked into the shoulders have injured gladiators exactly

08:53 So nowadays they have an x-ray system that can continuously take pictures as they're seeing where they're putting the needle in and then they are essentially putting sugar water in their dextrose. I talked to this guy for a long time. It kind of pisses off whatever the area is, and then the sugar water dextrose helps the self-regenerative process and it's...I'd have to say it's kinda magical thing! And its working! It worked? Yeah! So she's good now? She has no pain at all?! Of course anything that really works as you know is not covered by insurance obviously

09:37 This is what surprises me. What does it end up costing? For one session, a couple hundred dollars is very expensive but you know this is less expensive than anything that the insurance is covering. Prolotherapy involves the injection of an irritant solution into a joint space weakened ligament or tendon insertion to relieve pain most commonly hyper hyperomolar dextrose, a sugar solution is used. Glycerin, lidocaine commonly used local anesthetic that should kill the pain. Phenol and... Well I think it's lidocaine and that's what they put on before they put the needle in. And other commonly-used agents. The injection is administered at joints or tendons where they connect to bone. Yeah exactly. It was cool. I was allowed to watch so you get

10:30 dosimeter and a camouflage colored like flak jacket against the radiation. And these guys, they're kind of like... it looks like you're in a room with two dudes who hang out with Ted Nugent and they kind of have the face to go with it and tattoos and everything. They're kinda rock-and-roll guys in this high tech environment with these big GE specially designed x-ray machines that just you know boom, there's tons of screens and they're looking at all these different angles. And within 15 minutes it says, phew! You good to go? And of course the fun part was because it is an anxious experience obviously and sticking needles into you, and you know It's a little bit like an epidural almost in some cases. So they gave her a Xanax before Well that'll mellow her out That's what she said I'm hungry okay? What do you want? I want brisket! Okay fine

11:33 And she wolfed down a whole brisket and fell asleep in the back of the car before I got her home. You know Mickey, so you can imagine that's so contra to Mickey. Wolfing down a brisket and falling asleep on the back seat Yeah, that's very odd. She gets better? Yeah it seems to work I wanted to mention because you know we have a lot of physicians and... You have to do it a couple times apparently according to this. Yes yes yeah you do Applied Kinesiology was the witch doctor. That was there. Okay Alright more medical news! I decided to start a club and is because of number emails I had received

CHAPTER 04 / 55 Discussion

No Agenda Tourettes Club and Superpowers

The launch of the No Agenda Tourettes Club (NATC), a community project aimed at documenting the specific tics and perceived "superpowers" of individuals with Tourette Syndrome. Examples cited include physical tics like neck twitching and grunting, contrasted with "superpowers" such as lightning-fast reflexes and photographic memory for numbers and addresses.

tourette syndrome· tics· superpowers· photographic memory· natc

12:14 And based upon the past two, well actually the past couple of years but specifically the past 2 podcasts I've started The No Agenda Tourettes Club and the subtitle is Documenting Our Tics & Superpowers That's a good idea. I don't know how many people in the audience have Tourette's Well, this is why i started it because I'm receiving more and more email from people saying oh man...I always wondered what I had now I know what it is or find that peculiar You'd be amazed how many people don't really because Tourette's comes in all kinds of forms Now we know the cool kind which I'm not fortunate enough to have been blessed with the fuck fuck fuck can't piss you bomb Yeah, I don't have that one

13:00 Which is I think a superpower by itself because you can actually make airplanes not take off. Yeah, it freezes a lot of things But when you think about true superheroes John we have Clark Kent who was you know nerdy guy with the glasses and then he turns into Superman What was Peter Parker? Was it like some stupid lab assistant some schmuck and he becomes spider-man Oh Spider-Man We got bit by a spider well yeah that's different So you can find this at natc.noagendanotes.com, n-a-t-c dot no agenda notes dot com and that's of course I have three entries so far but we're gonna get a lot more so i have me as you know I've twitching of neck shoulders thigh muscles mild grunting tightly squeezing eyelids closed Mild grunting? Yeah! Oh yeah You grunt? Just out of the blue

13:55 Yeah, like that. Yeah sometimes yeah, what do you think of a noise gate? My superpowers are lightning-fast response to falling items snatching tipped glasses in midair and photographic memory for numbers addresses and time codes Then we have Cameron, who's in Austin. And he is one of these... He said oh my gosh I'm so happy! I used to have a lot of different tics. He says I only have really two now but i'm sure that this is Tourette's related. He has hard quick blink disorder as he calls it and something I have to go see. He has restless eyeball which I think sounds cool however he has no documented superpowers yet So we're waiting to see if he finds any Penny

14:44 She has the electric energy and straining various body parts. Twisting her foot is a favorite while walking... This is a good one! You act like something's wrong with your foot, and you twist it super hard. That sounds familiar. It doesn't sound good? Or like you put your heel down, you stamp your heel on the ground, and you squinch it around Her superpowers photographic memory memory of dance routines exactly as I have a dead ik memories at real Photographic is the worry ever she can't forget anything. That's what she says and It's possible, but then she okay? I got well here I'm gonna stop you now because these two people that have this type of memory which of course is some sort of A disorder but it's well seems very valuable to me yes and of course the

Mary Lou Henner and Eidetic Memory

A profile of actress Mary Lou Henner and her highly rare ability of eidetic memory, which she refers to as "robot power." The discussion details how she can recall specific dates and events with perfect clarity, suggesting such individuals could be valuable for indexing long-form audio content. The segment concludes by reframing Tourette's and memory disorders as unique "superhero" traits.

mary lou henner· eidetic memory· photographic memory· robot power· hyperthymesia

15:40 The one actress is the one they based it. There's a TV series on about a detective who has photographic memory and you know, eidetic memory in other words she can't forget anything and that's based on on a real actress the one I can remember her name uh... Meryl Streep No, she's very famous actress and she has this power. And she remembers you can ask her a question so on June 3rd in the morning what were you doing? I was making coffee. Everything is crazy. So it seems to me if somebody has this capability I would like them to index the show Well she says she has robot...she calls it robot power

16:24 I don't know what that means, but here's the way I'm thinking. You've got somebody with eidetic memory and they listen to the show and then we say this is the show number... We tell them the show number and here's the show and you listened to three hour show And then like two years later you go What show was it where we talked about such-and-such? They should be able to retrieve that instantly! I'm going to give our direct numbers So that she can, she'll be listening live and will say... Do you remember actually she would say Mary Lou Henner is what she would say that that's who it is Mary Lou Henner has this memory She's very funny when she talks about it because they did a couple of specials I didn't know that about her. I've always liked her, but had no idea she had this superpower Yes And she's very humorous she has a good sense of humor about it She says great when you're an actress because you can really get the script fast You just read it once boom you done right?

17:21 But she... I wonder if she's actually reading or just snapshotting. No, everything that happens to her is remembered. Oh, that's a gift! Well, she says it's a little annoying for people in relationships because she... Well, I'm already like that and don't even have good of memory. Yes, I did say that! It could be a form of Tourette's. Now that I think about it, because she is neat freak and Tourette's people tend to be neat freaks. Is she a Virgo? Virgos are also highly susceptible to Tourettes it appears. I don't know whether... you can look her up but whatever the case is She's very funny cause they did a special on this syndrome And most of the people that had about 10 or maybe 5 people That had this capability and most of them were very neurotic Because of this

18:13 Mary Lou Hanner was not she was like cool with it. Yeah, that's good And she is very funny but she said it was uh It was difficult to always be right especially with the kids Yeah I know it's a curse when you're always right? I feel your pain Mary Lou So anyway, so she... but if we have somebody like that they should be able to listen to the show. Yeah! If they're paying attention and then recover this because we'll commonly go oh you know yeah yeah there was a prediction you made look it up in The Red Book look it up in The Red Book. We can never find it in The Red Book. Typically I remember and you say no what was this? But I'll say Moonbase as you'll say

18:51 No, Israeli moon bases. And I'll say no, I never said Israeli moon bases! Yeah you did. No! Okay... and then-and then y'know this is exactly what you do and then you're hunting around for days listening to shows and you can't find it and then y'know you get angry. I'm never angry. Oh okay Anyway, she calls this robot power and the way she retrieves information is by saying let me ask the robot. So I agree with you. She's very handy. She also says it's like having a tape recorder in your ear She also has easy replay of melody and it was very easy for her to learn where to put her fingers on a violin or any fretless instrument. This was also in the special, there's a number of eidetic musicians who can hear something once and then reproduce it perfectly So what this proves is that you are not a Tourette syndrome sufferer You are a superhero And you're interesting

19:52 And your child who has this is interesting and you need to find the superpowers because you have them. I'm only now really realizing... He doesn't go around in eighth grade wearing a cape! Well, I think we should have no agenda superhero Tourette's capes and sashes? Let's see if we can grow the club. Tourette's Cape. I have b-b-b-bought tourette's No, but it's your stammering that's well in fact you have a version of it You're a stammerer. I stammer yeah So that makes you interesting. It's annoying by the way, it makes you interesting it's not annoying at all No I don't think so. It's not interesting to me! Well I've never found it to be... Annoying You know what's annoying? I will hold on guys come one there is just a See with Tourette's you can even become president Yeah he has got something wrong with him There's proof

Turkey General Elections and Erdogan Strategy

An analysis of the ongoing elections in Turkey and the strategic importance of the country as a bridge between the Middle East, Asia, and Europe. The discussion touches on internal strife involving the Gulenist movement and President Erdogan's "fair-weather friend" approach to international relations with Russia and China.

turkey· recep tayyip erdogan· gulenist· middle east· geopolitics

20:50 As we see what are you got now? I teased a couple things in the newsletter because we had we might as well get with it Well, let me just say right off the bat that as we speak. The elections in Turkey are taking place This is an interesting one Since we have the feeling that Turkey is on deck for some perhaps regime change, you know there's been a lot of strife internally with the Gulenist police force and other officials who've been arrested and kicked out. And there's just a lot of crap going on in Turkey it being one of the most important strategic countries in between the Middle East

21:32 Asia and Europe, all pipelines lead through the Ottoman Empire if you will. And Mr. Erdogan has not been a favorite of anybody of late really... He's kind of a fair-weather friend to all. You know, he said I'll take some military equipment from China...I'll hang out with Russia whatever yeah i want the gas from Syria but maybe you'll take it from from Jordan or from Qatar or whatever so we'll see. Do believe he will win? Yeah well most people think so. It only makes sense but I still think he may be a marked man

CHAPTER 07 / 55 Discussion

Afghanistan Election Audit and Ashraf Ghani

A report on Secretary of State John Kerry's intervention in the Afghan election process, leading to a full audit of the votes. The segment characterizes candidate Ashraf Ghani as a preferred figure for the Pentagon and State Department, suggesting the eventual power-sharing agreement is a managed outcome.

afghanistan· ashraf ghani· john kerry· pentagon· state department

22:10 I'm put it in the red book that I think assassination is coming his way. And at the same time we have some form of agreement that Watermelon Head Kerry rushed off to Afghanistan as it turned out that Baghdadi, Baghdadi so nice they named him twice of course was really winning the election but that is not the guy that we want to win which is... Can't have that! Ashraf Ghani And so somehow we change the rules. Well look, no matter who wins after we count every single vote again and we're going to quantify qualify you know hanging chads whatever it's going to be and then whoever is the winner is almost like the second loser So if you're gonna have equal powers You'll be president, you'll be prime minister and we can get along can't we?

23:03 which is, if you look of course at the background of Ashraf Ghani this is a complete Pentagon State Department shill. And a lot of that is going on in this Iraqi...the caliphate I guess we would have to call it at this point because that's the working name for what is happening in Iraq but it really isn't of course And it looks like you have... Well, you set it up in the newsletter.

CHAPTER 08 / 55 Discussion

US Airstrikes Near Erbil and Humanitarian Marketing

An examination of President Obama's authorization of airstrikes against ISIS artillery pieces near Erbil, Iraq. The narrative questions the "humanitarian" framing of the mission, suggesting the grainy black-and-white footage released by the Pentagon serves as a form of political theater to justify renewed military involvement.

erbil· isis· barack obama· airstrikes· pentagon

23:41 And I have a number of clips and some analysis on... Yeah, you have some analysis of why they're bombing this specific place. But I do have the air strikes rundown which will lead into that and then you can go off on your analysis for us. Oops! Yep. And reveal stuff that you don't get on the mainstream media Well, I spent most of yesterday really trying to come up with the proper analysis as of what's happening. Once you see it and figure it out It's really quite easy to understand, actually. Dan, the president of course as you know authorized airstrikes last night. They've already carried out humanitarian missions with air drops but this airstrike just came a short while ago aimed at an artillery piece, a mobile artillery piece near Erbil. Erbil is under great threat that is why the president chose to act central command carried it out with two F-18

25:00 fighter jets dropping 500 pound bombs on the artillery. They believed that Americans were threatened because there are Americans in Erbil and they do not want those ISIS troops moving on Erbil I think you're going to see this as an ongoing mission in the coming days, that if those ISIS convoys move as the president said last night they will also try to strike those convoys but very difficult targeting this those ISIS fighters those terrorists in northern Iraq, throughout Iraq blend in with the civilian population. So I think if they see targets of opportunity like they did this morning they'll take them. So we've got two things going on. We've got the ISIS fighters moving closer to Erbil which is a city where there are a lot of Americans and then we have this humanitarian crisis with the Christian community on top of a mountain surrounded by fighters How worried is the Obama administration right now about being sucked back into this war that they claim to have ended back in 2011?

25:56 Well, you heard the president say last night Dan that we will not be sucked back into a larger war. That there is no military solution but being willing to even carry out these smaller air strikes really does put the US back in a combat role Yes it was very nice to see the Pentagon release two YouTube videos as you know once it's on YouTube It's pretty much the truth Two YouTube videos of some dots on the ground in their typical. Why is it always black and white grainy? We can't we up the quality a little bit I think so yeah, they could up to call There's no reason for it to be that crappy yes you see two round things artillery Yes, and then boom you see a big White flash and it's gone And then which is also another thing that could be changed there's no reason for it to blow out the sensor oh

26:49 Yeah, really. Thank you. No that's true I agree and then we have the night vision goggle the green version of throwing stuff out of a transport plane none of which proves anything This is why I say, you know, I'm stomping on the tail that wags the dog this could be all complete theater because now we have the... there's some good marketing and I'm going to get to what is really going on here but, what is being sold to the world at large and certainly to the American public. At a wonderful time by the way when everyone's off on vacation, the president's gone on vacation you know? We gotta get something goin', gotta keep everybody busy

CHAPTER 09 / 55 Discussion

Erbil Oil Interests and State-of-the-Art Infrastructure

A contrast between mainstream media depictions of Iraq as a desert wasteland and the reality of Erbil as a modern, high-tech hub for the oil and gas industry. The segment highlights the upcoming Erbil Oil and Gas Convention and the presence of major corporations like ExxonMobil and Chevron, suggesting military action is primarily aimed at protecting these economic assets.

erbil· kurdistan· exxonmobil· oil and gas· yazidis

27:30 Don't look at all the other stuff. There's a lot of annoying stuff happening with the CIA spying on the Senate and, you know... And we've got still got our drone program but we gotta focus people on something." Well, I wanna mention something in advance of any of these analysis is that Erbil is just one dynamite place. Well yes! It is pretty much the center of oil production for Iraq. And it's in Kurdistan, so it's Kurdish... It is. ...and a city that goes back 6,000 years and has been continually inhabited as one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities ever and it has a...it's just gorgeous!

28:12 It's like a dynamite place. If you look at photos of the place... They've got beautiful hotels because, and this is another reason why this all had to happen now we do have the big Erbil oil and gas convention coming up September 1 through 4 Oh, there you go. At the convention center! Yes! What you see on television and this is mind-boggling to me I'm seeing what are supposed to be Yahtzees...I just call them Yahtzees. I don't know what they're called. The Yazidis? The Yahtzees There's some people in dresses running along the dirt road. Okay, so they're getting killed and their heads are being...killing the children chopping their heads off none of which we've actually seen at all.

28:55 And we're going to throw some bricks of meals ready to eat on their heads, to save them. So this is a humanitarian mission obviously. Everyone talks about what we have U.S. personnel and civilians...yeah! We have an embassy in Erbil, and we have ExxonMobil, Chevron....one of the two main refineries is in Erbil. And really ISIS is not doing anything. This is the carving of the border, this is setting the stakes, this is helping everybody understand what the three main parts are going to be." And I should mention just in passing that just looking up now at the Erbil Iraq Convention Center and there it is with a title The New State-of-The Art Convention Center!

29:44 is available. Yeah, but you're not going to see that until you see dirty roads and people with no shoes running in the dirt and the sand... And I love the video of ISIS if you really objectively look at it there's one that keeps playing over and over again It's taken from the back of a pickup truck And you see two ISIS militants run, they jump in the back and they immediately assume the position. One guy left one guy right with his AK and then the next 2 guys come in. It is essentially... I'm sorry for saying essentially it's an upgraded version of the monkey bar video of Al-Qaeda This is...and they're driving KIAs and they've got logos They have a gift shop John

The Biden Doctrine and Partitioning Iraq

A historical review of the "Biden Doctrine," a 2006 proposal co-authored by Joe Biden and Leslie Gelb to decentralize Iraq into three semi-autonomous regions for Sunnis, Shiites, and Kurds. The analysis argues that the current instability is being used to finally implement this long-standing plan for the "Balkanization" of Iraq to secure oil interests.

30:27 ISIS has a gift shop. Yeah, you can buy some flags. You can buy flags hoodies hoodies mugs This is a and of course these guys come from Originally Syria from Libya these are the people that we armed apparently Procter & Gamble Procter & Gamble? Well, I mean marketing. Oh no there's huge PR firms on K Street There's lobbyists for these guys and this is big big business And we have to go back a little further than the 2011 that everybody is talking about This goes back to the original plan of 2003 That original plan was to break up Iraq into three parts

31:09 to have the Sunnis, the Shias in the Baghdad area. The Shias in the Baghdad area and the Sunnis in the West so that's Syria and of course Kurdistan is what we really care about those are our American interests But that is where the oil is flowing, and the refineries are. It goes out through the port of Ceyhan and it's going down to Israel to be sold, then it's also going up north and out even as far as China into Texas. And originally this was the pipeline that dates back to the Second World War—that is no longer usable—that would go directly through Jordan into Israel. This is now the pipeline that goes through the port of Ceyhan in Turkey

31:55 In 2006, and this is something...we've hit a clip of I think we played a clip of Biden saying it but i found an old NPR interview. in 2006 this was tried again with a um it's called the Biden doctrine and this is why Joe Biden is kind of key in this one he's kind of stepping up and he's talking to people making calls you know they're sending him out on the road to meet people It was a non-binding resolution. And this was, he wrote an article in the New York Times with the guy from the Council on Foreign Relations that'll come to me...Gelp! Leslie Gelp and they wound up with a non-binding resolution that was introduced in the Senate and it went through very quickly in 2007. Introduced by Biden and Sam Brownback senator from Kansas

32:52 And that was at the time a measure calling for a decentralized Iraqi government based on the principles of federalism advocating for a relatively weak central government with strong Sunni, Shiite and Kurdish regional administrations. And this went through 75 to 23. Who was voting for? Hillary was all for it, Chris Dodd was all for it because this is the oil cabal This is really what its about and its about the control of that region What comes through Iraq going to Syria What comes from south up from any of the oil or gas countries Up north into Turkey It really is all about the control Here's Joe Biden

CHAPTER 11 / 55 Discussion

Joe Biden 2006 NPR Interview on Federated Iraq

A playback and critique of a 2006 NPR interview where then-Senator Joe Biden explains his plan for a federated Iraq. Biden discusses using oil revenue as an incentive for Sunnis to buy into a decentralized government, drawing parallels to the Dayton Accords in the Balkans.

joe biden· npr· iraq· federalism· oil revenue

33:34 Somewhat coherent, but he still manages to mix up Sunnis and Shias in this interview which is just fabulous as the NPR guy I think he's reading the script and going oh crap man Joe messed it up. Let me correct him where he explains This concept and you will hear it is exactly the same not just concept, but in some cases same words as President Obama used in his speech in front of his helicopter. I call for a strong central government and the Iraqi constitution already calls for a federation again this is two thousand six that there be a semi-autonomous region in the north of the kurds and but then that she had have a similar option my call is to give the sunni's the opportunity to buy into a federated iraq by providing them the resources from oil revenues a percentage of them in order to be able to do what we did in dating in the balkans remember

34:35 We set apart those three separate regions... Do you hear what he's saying? Yeah, yeah. That's what everybody knows! Again also presented to the world as this huge religious problem in the Balkans but no it was really kind of about resources and borders and cutting it up and rubilizing to an extent but Balkanizing, breaking things up. That is what balkanization is In order for them to have breathing room to come together Yeah! Oh that worked out great Joe What incentive with a powerful South and a powerful North who are basically independent from the central government do the Shia have to sign on to this notion and give up the insurgency? This is a way to end the insurgency And I might point out... To the Sunnis half yes Excuse me, the Sunni

35:25 the great job to uh... to buy an a m point out there is no plan that exist now for disbanding of the militia but so you have these massive malicious in the she area and significant malicious or So what guarantee do the Sunnis have that it's in their interest to, in fact sign on even though they may get a couple ministers? Okay. So again, it's about the government and if you follow the news and you listen very carefully towards being said this is about

Nouri al-Maliki Resistance and Media Narratives

A discussion on Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki's refusal to step down despite international pressure for a new "inclusive" government. The segment includes a clip of Amy Goodman from Democracy Now! accidentally referring to "President Obaming," while highlighting the media's use of terms like "Christian Holocaust" to build public support for intervention.

nouri al-maliki· amy goodman· iraq· regime change· democracy now

36:00 Al Maliki, who is the prime minister. There were elections and he has said look I'm still prime minister everyone voted for me i'm not stepping down i'm not letting people come in and just change the structure and we have miraculously a new president that has on the scene there's a new speaker and this is all being forced but Maliki is refusing to leave and this is partially about him. Now I believe if he were to step down and say, okay let's do this fairly... He's dead! They'll kill him immediately. They'll have some unfortunate hot tub accident. Well I think this has been the cards for him no matter what but yes I would agree So let's now listen very closely

36:45 what President Obama was saying. Actually, did you see Democracy Now? Did you hear Amy Goodman about the president? No. You know how we often talk about your mouth...your brain cannot help but tell the truth Yeah, and the words will come out. I thought i had a clip of something her doing that... No, I have an Albright telling the truth that's different This is Amy Goodman telling the truth Well then I was wondering your response Phyllis to President Obama and now- I'm sorry president Obaming? That's good President Obaming yes very good Amy very good

37:23 So I'm going to play the setup, which is the cover story. It's only about a minute and half and the cover story is...oh we had humanitarian boy you know they've got these people cutting children's heads off Wait, let me play CNN. Here's the marketing that the president is responding to... This is truly a living nightmare that's not going away Christianity in Mosul is dead and a Christian holocaust is in our midst So we have Christian Holocaust which I love this There's nothing better than mixing the metaphors Seven weeks ago We went to Washington DC and actually were calling this a Christian genocide Christian Genocide Nice And since then

Obama Helicopter Speech and Atlanticist Oil Interests

An analysis of President Obama's speech delivered in front of his helicopter regarding the crisis in Iraq. The summary points out that the only allies mentioned—France and the UK—are those with direct oil interests in the region (Total and BP), reinforcing the theory that the mission is about protecting the Kurdish oil corridor.

barack obama· total oil· british petroleum· exxon· kurdistan

38:04 Day by day, it's getting worse and worse. More children are being beheaded. Mothers are being raped and killed. The fathers are being hung." This is outrage! You can't be beheading children? I think you need to send in some hornets and show some video on YouTube. So the president is about to go on vacation—President Obama—and he's in front of his helicopter which there's a lot of...I found that to be a very interesting choice His stand-up speech in front of the helicopter. It has a war feeling to it, but it also has a feeling of damn man He's got some nice wheels in the garden and also he's going on vacation And he came up with the cover story for The Press completely scripted as always that's how these things work We will continue to pursue a broader strategy in Iraq

38:57 We will protect our American citizens in Iraq, whether they're diplomats civilians or workers for Exxon or military. If these terrorists threaten our facilities or our personnel... Facilities is you know office buildings of Exxon refineries and yes the embassy we will take action to protect our people which they could do but they could evacuate everybody if it was really bad they could just rush everybody out so there's other reasons for this obviously We will continue to provide military assistance and advice to the Iraqi government and Kurdish forces as they battle these terrorists so that the terrorists cannot establish a permanent safe haven. We will continue to work with the international community to deal with the growing humanitarian crisis in Iraq, even as our attention is focused on preventing an act of genocide and helping the men women and children on the mountain countless Iraqis have been driven or fled from their homes including many Christians

39:56 This morning I spoke with Prime Minister Cameron of the United Kingdom and President Hollande of France. Now notice which two countries, the two countries that have always since this country was created since the drawing of the lines on the map it was the French and British and Americans and it is Total Oil and Total Fina British Petroleum and Exxon, the Exxon Mobil. These are the countries that's why no one else is involved it's only the people who have actual interest in this region I'm pleased that both leaders express their strong support for our actions and have agreed to join us in providing humanitarian assistance to Iraqi civilians who are suffering so much. Does this sound familiar? This providing assistance, saving the Iraqis...this is going on for a while Once again America's proud to act alongside our closest friends and allies Oh yes hold on we need to bring out the Team America More broadly The United Nations in Iraq Is working urgently To help respond to the needs of those Iraqis fleeing from areas under threat

40:58 The UN Security Council has called on the international community to do everything it can to provide food, water and shelter. And in my calls with allies and partners around the world I'll continue urge them join us in this humanitarian effort. Finally we continue call on Iraqis to come together and form inclusive government that Iraq needs right now Vice President Biden has been speaking to Iraqi leaders and our team in Baghdad is in close touch with the Iraqi government. Okay, so now you have all the pieces in front of you You have the partitioning of the three

41:35 pieces of Iraq, Shiites, Sunni and Kurdish regions for the benefit of everybody. Of course with the central government which will be completely useless which will more than likely lead to a very bloody civil war but we are now protecting the Kurdish region. And notice when I were protecting the Kurdish region not protecting any other part protecting that where our interests are Well, that's always been what we're gonna do. But that is not being explained to people and I think it's important... There are no reasons if people don't understand it they aren't going to get the information. Our people do. By the way one of the oil companies has kind left out of the conversation was actually huge in Kurdistan is DNO which is Norwegian Oh sure

Ahmed Chalabi and the Search for a New Prime Minister

A critique of President Obama's claim that Iraq lacks a legitimate government, which is interpreted as a move toward regime change against Maliki. The segment identifies Ahmed Chalabi, a controversial figure from the 2003 invasion, as a potential candidate being pushed by Western interests to take over the premiership.

ahmed chalabi· barack obama· iraq· prime minister· regime change

42:18 They don't have an army, do they? That's the reason they're being left out of the conversation. So here is right after this intro now The President is going to tell you what is really important and he actually uses the words What is most important so it's not about these people on the mountaintop that you're seeing kind of somehow I think And now we have helicopter shots of people running towards the helicopter could've been Vietnam for all I care This is no proof of anything happening But it's the story and here is the real important timetable. The most important timetable that I'm focused on right now... Is not saving people. ...is the Iraqi government getting formed and finalized because in the absence of an Iraqi government, it is very hard to get a unified effort by Iraqis against ISIL. What are you talking about? The governments already been formed!

43:14 Years ago. Well, listen to what he's about well this is regime change and we have to get rid of Maliki Here's what? He says we can conduct airstrikes but ultimately there's not gonna be an American military solution To this problem there's gonna have to be an Iraqi solution that America And other countries in allies support and that can't happen effectively until you have a legitimate Iraqi government so right now We have a president We have a speaker. What we don't yet have is a prime minister and the cabinet that has formed, that can go ahead and move forward and then start reaching out to all the various groups inside of Iraq." This is bullcrap! What I expect is the press to say, I'm sorry? The Prime Minister is Maliki?! No... Our president just said we don't have a prime minister in Iraq. You DO have a prime minister in Iraq

44:12 The guy who won't leave. He's not going along with the program You don't like the guy who is the prime minister? So now we have this is what has happened now Is with this change and this was a July 1st I believe when the new government came in and Maliki Won, a lot of votes but some people left some people went out. So we had the foreign minister of Of the Iraqi coalition government Hoshyar Zabari He, although CNN still credits him as the Iraqi foreign minister he is now a Kurdish spokesman.

44:50 This guy is this is a card man. This guy's great I think he was educated when they say what I have here University of Essex and these guys are all from the 2003 2006 Efforts to make this happen and listen to and listen to how he Speaks, here we go. This is when CNN see it yet last night titled him as foreign minister of Iraq which he is not We are most grateful and express our gratitude and deep, deep appreciation for President Obama and the US administration. And for the courageous U.S Army and Airmen who are now patrolling the skies of Iraq and Iraqi Kurdistan." Yes thank you very much so courageous! So the guy they want in this is going to blow your mind is Ahmed Chalabi

45:46 Chalabi? Yes! Is that the guy I'm thinking of? The bonehead?! This is the guy who really set up Iraq. They call him the George Washington of Iraq He's a bullcrap artist! Yes, he is the man on the inside that pushed us into Iraq Yeah, he's a troublemaker. And he's full of crap! Yes this is the guy that they want to be the prime minister and no one's calling this, of course... Oh, this guy seems like a good guy to me! He has quite the resume! Yeah, screwin' us! Quick intermezzo interlude where, and I think you are right John, Bandcamp girl with her flute Marie Harf is definitely

Marie Harf and State Department War Messaging

An examination of State Department spokesperson Marie Harf's media appearances, where she outlines the threat posed by ISIS to Erbil. The discussion notes her background as a CIA analyst and her role in President Obama's re-election campaign, characterizing her delivery as robotic and scripted.

46:39 on the war path to push Jen Psaki out. And she is now appearing everywhere, what she needs is a stylist She needs some clothing advice Some other kind of glasses I mean this early hipster look is not working She goes on MSNBC and to talk about the war with ISIS and I feel that as a spokesperson...and I left the introduction in so you can hear her credentials Which we kind of knew about but she's actually snickering and laughing about how awesome she is And listen to the party line how she just robotically spouts everything out

47:19 She is, she's at the top. She's talking to the big men. Right now she's main girl on campus I don't know what's going on but she's feeling pretty confident. Marie Harf is a State Department deputy spokesperson and former CIA analyst in the Middle East. She also served President Obama's re-election campaign thank you for joining me. She's smiling That was her? Making that noise? Yeah because I served on his election team And I was a CIA analyst for the Middle East. Yeah, what i know is it a busy day for you? Thank you for having me Ari happy to be here! Ari, I'm happy to be here well the first question out of the gate is a good one great let me start directly as the US now at war with ISIS Well look we've been clear for months now... Well look we've been clear from once now right there It's like okay Marie thank you that Isis isn't incredibly

48:14 a dangerous enemy, not just for Iraq, not just for the region at large but for the United States and rest of the world. So the president made very clear last night that they present as threat we don't want them to be able to advance closer to Erbil because as you said we have a very large conflict there with a joint operations center there where were sharing intelligence with the Iraqis themselves so we took some strikes today as you mentioned their advance and to give the Kurds really some room for this really good fighting force they have, the Peshmerga, to regroup, to rearm—and we're helping them do that—and to take the fight aggressively to ISIL because we know that's the long-term solution here. The long term solution is to take the fight aggressively to ISIL? Who are

Vice Magazine ISIS Documentary and Media Staging

Skepticism regarding Vice Magazine's exclusive five-part documentary series on ISIS. The segment questions how Vice obtained such high-quality, scripted-looking footage and suggests the organization, led by former MTV executive Tom Freston, may be facilitating a specific narrative about the terror group's capabilities and brutality.

vice magazine· tom freston· isis· propaganda· syria

49:00 being led by al-Baghdadi, the mythical figure who looks the part completely. Who is being profiled by Vice magazine in a five part series on ISIS ISIL. Vice! Vice okay? Vice and they're in there and they're showing all that interviewing kids Oh yes I want to join Al Baghdadi to join the Caliph to honor the caliph to join the caliphate How come no one else can get any kind of footage but Vice? You know, I've been watching the Vice videos for a while. When they first started coming out and...I'm not going to be accusatory- I am! It's Tom Freston who started MTV who before at MTV ran an import export business in Afghanistan Hello! Who is a nice guy by the way. I like Tom Freston But he is a player He is a player

49:51 And then all this money from Viacom came in. It's a hugely funded operation, people love working for Vice the money is flowing they can't be making any money they're spending. Yeah well that's always fun but it seems to me that you I've watched these these things and it just seems to me that these things are not only scripted But many of the things I think are just completely bullshit. They don't think they are where they're supposed to be? Nope! I wonder about it most and the guy's nervous, yeah and some of these reporters that are out in the field The way they make it seem is that they're gonna get killed any second. Did you see the five part series? I'm not buying it! No, no did you see the five-part series on ISIS? No, no And this is where all of it is scripted The guys jump into the truck and they propagate these videos out in their YouTube videos and then makes its way into mainstream media They also have this tank thats doing wheelies in the middle of the street Please...

50:48 Who does wheelies with their tank? I mean, uh... donuts. No spinning donuts! He's spinning doughnuts. Okay to you have to be what kind of lucky Videographer do you have to be to catch some of this stuff they catch stuff that That there's no way one gets no one could be that lucky Well i'm going to be accusatory because i know who's running these outfits and they're high up there And you know they're the guys that enter north korea No one has anything except these guys always do. Fine, okay it makes it look good and I love what they're doing...I love the weaponry and of course ISIS captured all of this weapons that were American made This is bullcrap! These guys were armed by us

51:38 in Syria, in Libya. And now it's the same guys! Only now we've made them into this huge terror organization and they're ruthless and they chop people's heads off...no evidence of that. Childrens' heads? Childrens' heads, no less. They rape women and they hang the men What The Vice documentary has is you have a head on stakes on a gate And yeah, sure there's videos of people being shot in the back of the head. That's all over the place but this is a story and it's being really carefully built up and we are...we, The Atlantisists are in complete control of the situation and we're building a beautiful wall around

Howard Dean and the 2004 Iowa Caucus Scream

A retrospective on Howard Dean's 2004 presidential campaign, focusing on his "Scream" in Iowa and his early use of social media. The hosts recall his perceived "goofball" persona and a specific appearance on late-night television where he wore an oversized tie, which they believe contributed to his political decline before the infamous scream.

howard dean· the scream· iowa caucus· social media· 2004 election

52:28 Kurdistan, we are at... I believe we're trying to draw Iran into the south. To have them come in and help Baghdad that would be perfect if we could get that to happen wouldn't it? Yeah let's have some let's get a little more Iran-Iraq war going on and then everything to the west We don't care! In fact here's Howard Dean who gets to know how our dean was a presidential candidate but he also he is a big guy in in the Democratic Committee, the party. He's a big man on the left would you agree? Does that make sense? Howard Dean was a shoo-in to be the president in 2008 and I mean he was gonna... he was the leader before Hillary or anybody came along And they killed him with The Scream

53:22 The screen... Well, he was killing himself because I saw him. He was being orchestrated as a social event. He was the first social media guy. Yes! Oh yes, oh I've forgotten about that. They had set him up- And the social media killed him? Well no, no. The social media never killed him and my eye watches very carefully and I believe the following He was a goofball. And the first time I saw him, he was on the...I think it was The Letterman. It wasn't Letterman. It was either Letterman or Leno at that time and he comes on the show

53:58 And I swear to God, because he's never been on national TV before and no one has ever seen him. Because he became... He was on the cover of Time Magazine but we never saw him in person. He first shows up and I swear to god he is wearing a tie A big red striped tie that is down to his knees Like Bozo the Clown? Exactly! He has this huge long tie that really way too long. He tied it wrong. And he comes out with this stupid He was really and then he gets serious, and he joke around. And you just said this guy's a goofball! He's no good." So his numbers started to drop and then when he won that primary did the scream? That was it. It was done But the way it was sold...the way he was I guess pushed out because he was a goofball or whatever else happened Was all blamed on this moment. I've looked it up on YouTube

54:54 Somewhere in here. It's in there. Wow! Dean for America Is he coming up here? Alright So he- everyone is loving him Where does this- Here it comes I think This is boring. Well, he comes that Gary grabs the mic. He's got the mic here it is You guys you Have already got the picture here I Was about to say, you know, I'm sure there's some disappointed people here. You know what? You know something, you know something If you had told us one year ago that we were gonna come in third at Iowa We would have given anything for that

CHAPTER 18 / 55 Discussion

Howard Dean on the Biden Doctrine and Subhuman Nazis

Howard Dean discusses the "Biden Doctrine" for Iraq, explicitly referring to Kurdistan as a "real country." During the interview, Dean uses a mixed metaphor, comparing ISIS fighters to "Nazis" and calling them "subhuman," while advocating for a long-term policy of partitioning Iraq to protect Western interests.

howard dean· biden doctrine· kurdistan· isis· nazis

55:53 And you know something? You know something, not only are we going to New Hampshire Tom Harkin. We're going to South Carolina and Oklahoma and Arizona and North Dakota and New Mexico! We're going to California and Texas in New York! We go to South Dakota and Oregon and Washington and Michigan! And then we'll go to Washington DC to take back the war! In hindsight is not that bad at all. Well, it's pretty bad with that yeah But he was already on the decline at that point. And that was the nail in the coffin. So here is being asked and he's being brought in now, of course because he is a part of the Atlanticist cabal. And I think he does a very good explanation and really just nails everybody to the ground in this three in this three partition strategy, the Biden doctrine. I think a lot of progressives are very suspicious because this is Iraq, because we've the American people have been lied to before about Iraq

56:55 People who try to imagine the Iraqis he's not all the way in otherwise. He would say a rock was just Proper if you're on the inside, this is Rwanda or Bosnia And I think a lot of things change in that way and I would agree with a lot of my positions fairly similar to Chris Murphy's with this exception unlike The Taliban and the situation Afghanistan where you have a pretty corrupt? president and a pretty difficult situation. The Kurds are real country, and our policy in Iraq is not... Interesting isn't it? It's a country! It's done. ...entirely sensible we're trying to keep the country together one-third of it are our friends which are the Kurds another third

57:35 Essentially corrupt dictator, that's Maliki who is aligned with Iran. Oh yeah! And for some reason we have just recently realized we need to get out of there Now now for the final one another one my favorite mixed metaphors what could the West be? What do you think? Are those guys worth anything to us, John? Let's find out. And the third section is divided between people who are pretty much like the Nazis absolute terrorists and almost subhuman Hold on a second You're just frying my brain Dean It was the Nazis who called the Jews subhuman yet he's calling the Nazis subhuman Yeah, that's a good one. And Sunnis who have legitimate grievances against the government of Maliki So this is a different situation We are supporting what I think is a country which is Kurdistan He thinks it's a country but Dean just goes around and says hey you know? I'm calling this a country

58:32 and biden's going africa is a nation we got some great people in dc man i think that's reasonable we do not under any circumstances want to have boots on the ground but we're fighting with somebody who can defend themselves as opposed to what's happening in afghanistan or what was happening in vietnam so i do support the president but i think he needs to look at the whole long-term Iraq policy, not just this short. Or as most people would say he needs to go in and go in big and there will be no boots on the ground this will be a complete division where I believe we're trying to draw Iran into the south but everything on that been the West is to be exterminated and preferably by the Baghdad crew and let's see if we can reignite in Iraq-Iran war essentially what what

Erbil Tourism and Modern Infrastructure vs Media Imagery

A review of the website "erbil.com," which promotes the city as a modern travel destination with shopping malls, luxury hotels, and international flights to Europe. This is contrasted with the "exploding black and white" war footage shown on news networks, which the hosts argue hides the true economic development of the region.

erbil· iraq· tourism· real estate· massglobal

59:19 Deemed to be the strategy to rubble eyes the place Rubble lies in place and all we need to keep intact is Kurdistan that's in fact by the way while people are listening of this I think they should take a look at at the map. I er bill calm I Name it a town e or bil I herb And you get a sense of what's really going on, which is that this is essentially a travel site. But it's promoting cheap flights to the place and they have a lot of slideshow with pictures showing things like this. Oh nice! And you have news like the first start-up weekend in Erbil Monday August 5th. MassGlobal selects GE turbines for Erbil.

Yeah well yes this is why people are dying as you know so the president he in this scripted event and was kinda funny because I don't if you saw the whole thing He said final question and then forgot that wasn't the final question And then some girl asked some insignificant questions He realizes that he still has his point to make for his legacy as he's about to get on his helicopter and fly off for another vacation. And he calls again, yes now it is time for the last question! Last question? Do you have any second thoughts about pulling all ground troops out of Iraq and does it give you pause as a US... well possibly doing the same thing in Afghanistan Now this has been touted

The last question- This guy was supposed to have the last question he was given the last question there's no- we've never heard of this guy you don't recognize the voice he's not identified it's just some dude NOT named Ben who standing there with the last question as scripted for the president to finalize his legacy and I'll- spoiler! He's saying hey first of all uh... this was already set in motion second of all you better be happy because if we had people in there it would be a much bigger mess so be happy that i'm kind of in control the situation on again my chopper now go to martin's venue you know what but what i just find interesting is uh... the degree to which business issue keeps on coming up as if this was under the previous administration we had turned over the country

1:03:12 to a sovereign, democratically elected Iraqi government. So let's just be clear the reason that we did not have a follow-on force in Iraq was because the Iraqis were... Iraqis... Do you know how it went to the next line on the teleprompter somehow? The word Iraqis got broken up? Yeah! Iraqis A majority of Iraqis did not want US troops there and politically they could not pass the kind of laws that would be required to protect our troops in Iraq. Having said all that, if in fact the Iraqi government behaved the way it did over the last five six years where it failed to pass legislation that would reincorporate Sunnis and give them a sense of ownership

1:04:04 if it had targeted certain Sunni leaders and jailed them, if it had alienated some of the Sunni tribes that we had brought back in during the so-called awakening that helped us turn the tide in 2006. If they'd done all those things and we still had troops there? The country wouldn't be holding together either. The only difference would be we have a bunch of troops on the ground... Uh huh! And?! ...that would be vulnerable. And however many troops we had we would have to now be reinforcing, I'd have to be protecting them and we'd have a much bigger job. Alright! So there you go so just so you know shut up everything's perfect it wasn't my fault but i'm glad I did it

1:04:47 And for those of you who are interested in what will evolve here, Maliki will be out. He's a dead man one way or the other if they bring in this shill that would be quite surprising. It wouldn't surprise me! Right now he is currently the head and president of the governing council of Iraq and there's a shoe-in So Chalabi, and read up on him. I have links in the show notes. He was succeeded by Alawi he's sitting...I don't know what he is doing now sorry that was a mistake. I'm sure he isn't without work No no he's doing something. Yeah he also a banker. Initially enjoyed close political and business relationships with members of the US government including some prominent neocons within the Pentagon. He's part of the Kagan group

CHAPTER 21 / 55 Discussion

Immunity for US Troops and the Creation of ISIS

A discussion on the "Status of Forces Agreement" and the US demand for total immunity from Iraqi law, which led to the 2011 troop withdrawal. The segment posits that ISIS is essentially a rebranding of the Free Syrian Army and Libyan rebels, used by "Atlanticist" powers to achieve the geopolitical goals they couldn't reach through formal military presence.

immunity· blackwater· status of forces agreement· isis· globalism

1:05:45 Absolutely. All of these guys, every single person who's on the scene now goes back to 2006 if not certainly to 2003 this is the original strategy and I think we're going to finally do it because now people are...the American public certainly but i believe around the world we are tired retired of the sickness that is being bestowed upon us, which is just war images and saving people. Meanwhile who's saving us? Who's saving the citizens of the West of Gitmo Nation?" We're sending hundreds of billions of dollars everywhere else. Your brains can't handle it at a certain point, so whatever just bomb the shit out them I don't care you know? Hey oil prices are down that's good I'm not paying too much to the gas company. Yeah nobody has really chimed in this whole bombing these characters and by the way it seems to me that because

1:06:45 I mean, Obama touched on it with that last question and he didn't say it specifically. He said well because they wouldn't give us certain kinds of protections or certain kinds of security we couldn't leave any troops there right what he was referring to was the fact that we had asked for total immunity yeah to do anything from criminal actions So any American in the area who was a rapist or a robber, bank robber doesn't make any difference. They were immune to Iraqi law. Yes that's what we need when you're going in and you're being extractive You need this kind of protection They said no this is bullcrap! You guys are killing our people The Blackwater guys are good example It's nasty We don't like it And we're not gonna agree with that I do think... Then I think then That's why they I think that's where ISIS was established

1:07:33 Yes, well ISIS already was established. It was just called the Free Syrian Army or the Libyan rebels it's the same guys Baghdadi was established and I don't understand why we don't use because it is a good name and for that very reason Why isn't he synonymous with Osama Bin Laden? Al-Baghdadi! He has got a cape, he has got a beard... The cape is great And a great name al-Baghdadi Everyone can remember al-Baghdadi Means it from Baghdad. Yeah, the other guy was L bag died of the guy they killed and this guy named himself to say We've only seen there was a continuity There I was like Superman too But I think that the nice touch to all of this was having Pope Francis send a cardinal to Iraq I thought that was a nice touch That really brought it home you know it's like oh yes well we're now we're killing Christians And there's a Holocaust of the Christians

1:08:25 Very, very nice touch. Very well executed. Very well done. Goodb- Goodnight Iraq! Goodnight! Goodnight? Goodnight... You're rubble now. Anything can happen you will not hear of any- you'll hear a strike here strike there they'll do whatever they need and I'm sorry Maliki Sorry for you That's the breaks man. You play hard and rough sometimes it doesn't work out So he is dead He may even be dead who knows I'm sure he has a lot of bodyguards. Yeah, and I heard he was running around in military fatigues and he was really going all out so this is a lot of marketing it's good work do not fall for any of it and they finally get the neocons the globalist people who believe there is an order in the world

1:09:23 and America, and Britain, and France. And you know we're supposed to be running it." They're getting what they want! This is exactly what they wanted...and for some reason I think it's just fatigue really that's what it seems to be because no one everyone's gone right? The Congress has gone everyone's on vacation. Yeah, everyone's on a vacation. Everyone's tired. Ah fine who cares let them go And everyone at this point is buying shares and all the companies, and everyone's in on it except us. That's really it. So, Abril? Great place to go! Don't be fooled. It's a beautiful city. It's modern

CHAPTER 22 / 55 Discussion

European Unrest and the Aspen Institute Meeting

A report on civil unrest in Europe being framed as anti-Semitism, which the hosts interpret as a tool for creating chaos. This leads into a discussion of the Aspen Institute's annual security forum, featuring high-level globalists like Madeleine Albright and Condoleezza Rice.

europe· anti-semitism· aspen institute· madeleine albright· condoleezza rice

1:10:04 It is it's like Houston. It's the Houston of Iraq I don't think it's as grimy as Houston. No, no, it's probably prettier No, it looks a lot pretty especially that old walled city looks like dynamite place to visit They got some real some real history for sure now we could have known this was happening because Kerry was in He was in Kurdistan in Erbil um two weeks ago We should we could have seen this happening but so hard to keep track of that guy There may be more than just one of him all over the place. It's hard to keep track of his tongue going in and out like a snake. No kidding, so that's it people! That's what you'll be hearing and of course the other end is working quite well I'm now receiving emails from producers in Europe also from Agent Aife my Jewish shill she says wow you know your so right

1:11:07 the, well it's under the flag of anti-Semitism right now that the Muslims are rioting in Europe and causing a ruckus. And they say oh this is because of Israel Palestine which is the excuse but they're really just causing a ruckus. It's distracting creating chaos and then you know before you know Look, the immigrants in Western Europe are already in government everywhere. I think Europe is... Is that a loss? I don't see...I think that it's gone pretty much. I don't see how they can change anything. We'll see They can't turn it back when they're in government Yeah, the elites know how to do these things. I think the elites want it! This is what they want! Just make a mess of it Well you tell me what's going on then It's just being made a big fat mess

1:12:10 Yeah, well we'll have it figured out in no time. Before you know it! One more time Amy Goodman because I liked it so much Well then...I was wondering your response Phyllis to President Obama Yes President Obama Very nice I have a cool clip before we get to our first break Talking because you had that's a truth teller. Yeah, so there was it There was an event at Aspen the yearly Aspen whatever bull crap. Oh is this the? The security Aspen Institute's yearly secret meeting yeah we had a couple clips from some of the douche is up there and

CHAPTER 23 / 55 Discussion

Madeleine Albright and the Business of Border Disputes

A critique of Madeleine Albright's comments at the Aspen Institute, where she admits that creating "border disputes" is what diplomats like her "do for a living." The segment also mentions the presence of Victoria Nuland and the lack of mainstream coverage regarding the US role in the Ukrainian Maidan protests.

madeleine albright· zbigniew brzezinski· victoria nuland· aspen institute· border disputes

1:12:48 So this is Albright, Madeline Albright sitting on the stage with Condoleezza Rice and then there's the backgrounder on these people is kind of creepy because they knew each other. And you know apparently Albright was a protege of Brzezinski? Yes oh yes! She has one of the largest globalist consulting companies around I mean she if you want to take over a country or extract some resources, you call the Albright group. And it's kind of funny to listen to because the other guy in there was Gates as a guy and he was contradicting the both Bob did constantly mm-hmm and it was actually very revealing I'll get some of those cuz but I had to play that all bright the truth teller if you listened to this very carefully you see what wouldn't she what the truth is? Um...I do think it is the most serious

1:13:43 event since the end of the Cold War and we all have been diplomats or in the government and there are many people here with the same background. And there are things that happen all over the world, all the time. There're changes border disputes various arguments that go on...and that's what people like us used to do for a living! Yes! We create border disputes, all kinds of crap is what we do for a living yes it was noodleman there by any chance? Victoria Nuland was supposed to be, this was done on Friday this meeting. She was supposed to show up on Saturday which is yesterday to give her speech so she was there

1:14:26 But it never showed up on any of the videos so I couldn't pull it. Hmm, but I was whole...I was scouring the net yesterday to try and see if I can get the new lens up. I'm sure it'll show up eventually and I'm sure it will be very interesting." I love that! That's what we do yeah! You've noticed now that the Maidan is a... The people are now rioting for real? Yeah, we're not getting that covered are we? No. And they're like not leaving and the chocolate king Poroshenko he's saying hey you know can't we all get along but we need to honor the dead and people are saying hey you didn't do a single thing you promised! Not a single thing! Now where the Ukrainian government and the US neocons are warning that if Russia even tries to provide aid

1:15:17 to the eastern Ukraine, that will be seen as an invasion. Since when is providing aid in a humanitarian corridor deemed an invasion? You know and the funny thing about this Aspen Institute thing with these people nobody once brings up Any notion that we're behind Maidan and we had a lot to do with it. We had Newland there What he thinks yeah, and we also have Brennan this is not a truth-telling conference This is a making money meet your customer conference It's just ridiculous that this is ignored to such an extreme You have I see you have two more clips anything want to play well? We can play I'm interested in did play the first one which is the ad this is Kandi and Madge

CHAPTER 24 / 55 Discussion

Albright Stonebridge Group and Globalist Consulting

An investigation into the Albright Stonebridge Group, a strategic consulting firm that helps clients navigate "challenging markets." The hosts describe the firm as a tool for the "Lizard People" to manage global resources and influence governments, noting the close personal and professional ties between Albright and Condoleezza Rice.

albright stonebridge group· condoleezza rice· brent scowcroft· joe nye· consulting

1:16:02 Talking amongst themselves and then they put this little note in here which I find to be kind of weird. Now Condoleezza Rice, of course was the Secretary of State under Bush. Right. And Madge, Madeleine Albright was the Secretary of State under Clinton. And is... And their buddies! Is Conde in the Albright group? I don't know if she is or not, but they're...I know they're friends and they talk about their friendship. Yeah just for one second we need to just look up the Albright Stonebridge Group is what it's known officially then I just... I would doubt because I think Condi wants still in play as a politician. Let me just say that we go beyond opening doors working alongside our clients to help navigate challenging markets solve problems implement strategies to manage risk

1:16:56 Based in Washington and capitals around the world. Our advisors provide unparalleled insights, high-level strategic advice and sound... With experience that spans countries and industries we tailor strategic solutions to meet clients needs Yes We'll take out entire governments will kill people for you! We will create strife and rubble eyes right before your very eyes Who are the people didn't they have like some great people in there besides Albright? Oh yes so Albright Burger We have Goldfield, some bankers... we need the board. That's what we need. But just look at it! Albright Stonebridge Group and she is of the Lizard People

1:17:40 if you look at her. Oh yeah, and she has a lot of experience with this she really does she did the Balkans was all her work wasn't it? Yep so I'm sure they are...I'll look at that while we play this clip from the Aspen Institute I'll look at the news and see what they're doing. Our Aspen Strategy Group um we are unique institution i think in the American foreign policy firmament because we are nonpartisan. We're not just bipartisan. Republicans, Democrats and Independents that come together once a year here in Aspen we have dialogues with the Chinese Indian and Brazilian leaderships. We are on our 30th year. We were founded by two great Americans General Brent Scowcroft who unfortunately is not here right now but will be in a couple of hours

1:18:26 and Professor Joe Nye, Harvard University. And so I would ask you to salute Joe maybe Joe you could stand. Yeah! Salute him! That's right Salute him! Wooo! Thanks man. Good work, make me rich We're gonna be discussing Russia over the next three and a half days an off-the record conversation What? Off the record?! There's nothing to talk about on US Russian relations these days but everything to talk about That's elite humor John To await Bob's arrival we might talk about the issue that United Condoleezza Rice and Madeline Albright. Now before we get to that, I'm going to tell you right now...I'm going to be following the news feed of the Albright Stonebridge Group and i'm kicking myself now for not having looked earlier so just give you the latest headlines to tell you what the Albright group will be working on

CHAPTER 25 / 55 Discussion

India, Ebola, and the Brzezinski Influence

Speculation that India may be the next target for a "rubalizing" event or an Ebola outbreak, based on news feeds from the Albright Group. The discussion shifts to the "Grand Chessboard" strategy of Zbigniew Brzezinski, with Albright and Rice trashing Vladimir Putin as "delusional" while pushing for aggressive containment of Russia.

india· ebola· zbigniew brzezinski· vladimir putin· grand chessboard

1:19:21 So you're seeing your counselor Don Gipps participating in a Bloomberg Google Hangout on the margins of the USA Africa Business Forum and then right followed by Modi's first 100 days. Have you and I had a conversation, i think after the last show that we think India is due? For some rubalizing or making oh yeah, we thought that because there's hints already that ebola in fact. It's funny They would juxtapose in this news feed right after each other guy Yeah to chapeau mobile whatever his name is Talking about africa and then right to india and africa india Ebola hello I think India would be just great for some ebola

1:20:07 Yeah, it would solve a lot of problems. A lot of our problems yeah So they were a big that had a big hand the all-right group in the in this Africa summit Which makes complete sense and so their clients are all over this and we'll talk about that if we think you should actually go down the feed further And you can see where it starts to lead. It's got Albright showing up on face the nation They get good public relations financial press they're all bright again on CNN New Day, and then down and boom There's your man is Brzezinski Brzezinski with the quote Russia sliding into isolation and disgrace. Hey, so Albright and Condi Rice in this little discussion And you can play this guy like to but let me just set up a couple things they trash Russia they trash Putin Albright says he's deluded he's delusional

1:21:01 He's a complete, you know... Narcissistic crazy guy. He wants to go back to the old days of Russia. He'll stop at nothing he wants to kill everybody. Russia uber alles! And unfortunately they brought Gates in which was a huge mistake because Gates just says I don't think any of this is true essentially You have to play the Gates clip if your gonna play this one but play this one One thought I have before we get into this and i'm looking at Albright, I'm looking at Brzezinski I have a feeling that we're at a very dangerous time because these people who have been working on these initiatives for decades, they want to really make another mark before they croak. And i'm a little wary maybe afraid they're going to push as hard as they can and it's not about money or anything...it's about the accomplishment

1:21:58 of doing it. And the true belief that Russia has to be, you know brought into line and China has to be contained...and I'm worried that they're going to make-you know we say a cat in the corner can make strange jumps Confucius say. And iIm worried that they're going to really push for some stuff that is a little too risky Well, how old are these people? 70s. They're all way in their 70's but they're not old! But they're old enough that they know that they have to do this now because it's in play everything is teed up so they have to push push push

CHAPTER 26 / 55 Discussion

The Korbel Connection: Albright and Rice's Shared Mentor

A revealing look at the shared history of Madeleine Albright and Condoleezza Rice, who both studied under the same mentor, Joseph Korbel (Albright's father), at the University of Denver. The segment highlights the "creepy" nature of these elite connections, where a single family and the Rockefeller Foundation shaped the careers of two future Secretaries of State from opposing political parties.

joseph korbel· madeleine albright· condoleezza rice· university of denver· rockefeller foundation

1:22:41 She's 77. Yeah, so that's... You know what? She's only 4 foot 10! Is that on her wiki page?! Yeah! 4 foot 10!? I didn't know that! Wow!! She's always seated, I guess is the reason you don't know that. But she's smaller than... No no! You think she's seated? She's standing. All right let's listen to this bit. I'm glad you got this because this is the kind of stuff that you will not hear anywhere unless you're really going to look for it and I think it's appropriate that our podcast can take the time to play a little bit longer pieces of important strategy sessions where these people are... Bilderberg group, which you're all like, oh let's go hang out in front of the Bilderbergs. I see the elites driving in! That is the distraction for the seed sellers

1:23:33 This is where it really takes place, out in the open. I didn't see anyone there with a bullhorn yelling at them in Aspen... Did you? Was that any notice of that? No! No known bullhorns. People they say- They were just saluting New World Order signs no just everyone's saluting and they give you videos to look at freely this is where it really takes place Year after year pull off really extraordinary conversations in a wonderful and civil way Well, I was not to put too fine a point on it. A failed piano major in college. I was supposed to be a great pianist started playing at the age of three. Um...I came here as a 17 year old rising junior as my kids now call it uh..at the University Denver To go to the Aspen Music Festival School

1:24:21 And I met here 12-year olds who could play from sight what it had taken me all year to learn. And I thought, find another profession and so I went back to Denver. I was taking classes tried a lot of things and fortunately wandered into a course in international politics taught by a Soviet specialist, a Czech emigre, a great diplomat, a man named Joseph Korbel And it was Joseph Korbel that stimulated my interest in Things International, my interest... Is he from the ice cream chain? Now that's Corvallis. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. ... things Russian my interest in diplomatic history and he convinced me that it was okay for a black girl from Birmingham Alabama to want to be a Soviet specialist and that was the start of my career. I just have to say he also said...

1:25:13 that I'd like you to meet sometimes. She's studying with Zbig Brzezinski at Columbia, her name is Madeline and how you can take that story. By the way if you're on the inside you say it's big. Big! It's a big... The big Zabowski So, what happened was my father was a Czechoslovak diplomat who didn't want to work for the communists and came to the United States and defected. And at that stage I understand now how it works The Rockefeller Foundation found him a job at the University of Denver We had no idea where Denver was My parents bought a car and started driving across America. And my mother said, everybody says Denver's the mile-high city but we're not going up so maybe we're going the wrong direction? So anyway, my father started teaching at the University of Denver and ultimately became dean of The Graduate School and he died in 1977

1:26:09 By then he was a really big deal and there were lots of flowers and tributes and things at his funeral. And among them was this beautiful ceramic pot in the shape of a piano with some leaves and things in it, and I said to my mother where did this come from? She said its from your father's favorite student Condoleezza Rice So in 1987 when I was working for my long string of losing Democratic presidential candidates And you know what's great? Isn't this kind of creepy. Yes, but it's creepy in a very enamoring engaging way and when you see all these connections come together

1:26:47 Yeah, I like this. I like listening to this. I thought you know why not in fact get in touch with this woman Condoleezza Rice who was an African American music major. How called the blackie? That's what she is saying. But she's just not saying it. From Alabama, who wrote her dissertation on the Czechoslovak military with my father so I thought she teaches on the West Coast Soviet expert I'll ask her to join my group Joe was a part of the group and I said Condi this is what I'm doing and she said Madeline I don't know how to tell you this but I'm a Republican and I said Condy how could you be we have the same father

1:27:31 Okay, so no okay wow creepy Well anyway the two of them go on and they start to talk I couldn't clip this because it's just with these clips are too long Yeah So they go on and on a bitchin and moaning about Russia together that two of them have the same She said Condi would say one thing in at Madeline would take it to the next level then Connie would take you The next level and it was all about how? how horrible Putin is, and in fact to the point where they were just trashing him. And obviously that was part of some sort of a philosophy that's... Obviously Brzezinski's ZIG or whatever you call it. The Bigs' grand chessboard. It's his game. They all love the big

CHAPTER 27 / 55 Discussion

Robert Gates on Putin's Historical Mission in Ukraine

Former Defense Secretary Robert Gates provides a realistic assessment of Vladimir Putin's goals, arguing that Putin is not delusional but driven by a "historical mission" to protect ethnic Russians and recreate a buffer of states around Russia. Gates identifies Kiev as the "linchpin" of the Russian Empire, dating back 1,000 years.

robert gates· vladimir putin· ukraine· kiev· buffer states

1:28:18 Apparently, yeah. And so Gates comes on and this is the Gates PM... This is Robert Gates. Robert Gates is ex-CIA guy who was also in the Defense Department did a bunch of things and he's actually very personable Uncle Don by Uncle Don does not like him Well I can see that it's something about but I think his personable But he does have a few things to say that contradict the two women. And but I think in this clip, the PM Russia clip, I think he outlines and reality realistic look at things which is probably the official look border changes could only be resolved through peaceful negotiations and the consent of the parties

1:29:04 and not the satisfaction of revanchist claims by force. The second was the freedom of sovereign states to choose which other countries with whom they wanted to ally politically, economically and for security Both of those Putin has essentially thrown aside And so what the Europeans and we for a long time felt was, a matter settled at the end of the Cold War is now very much back up on the table. I think Putin has two goals. I don't know that he's delusional

1:29:54 Maybe because we both came from the spy business, he and I had a very interesting relationship. We didn't like each other but there was a certain interesting respect or suspicion...I'm not sure which But we would speak very frankly to one another and partly because i wasn't the diplomat and neither was he. It's clearing his throat a lot I'm not sure what that's telling us, but it's some... there is an element of bull crap coming out of him. But still at the same time it's very interesting. Well, you know, strict nine. But I think he has after two things and one is what Condi alluded to or talked about And that is this sense of historical mission Yeah To protect the Russians who were left behind This is the ongoing narrative

1:30:50 that he has the historical mission. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, but the second is more traditional Russian behavior and that is the creation or recreation of a band of states on the periphery of Russia that lean toward Moscow economically politically and for security He doesn't want to recreate the Soviet Union, I don't think. He doesn't want to be responsible for all those economic basket cases on the periphery." That's a different narrative! I like that... Yeah and also seen yeah well I understand what he is doing this way the EU is the same thing bunch of states you know hey we'll take that crap in Greece give it to us buffer state buffers but

1:31:35 He does want to recreate this buffer, if you will. That has been very much a part of Russian history for a long time. For good reason! Yeah of course And frankly I think he sees Ukraine as the linchpin of that Kiev was where the Russian Empire was founded over 1,000 years ago Is that true? I didn't know that but it's Apparently where the Russian Empire was founded to what he says hmm Could be I mean just roll it back a little bit That's not the kind of thing that he's just gonna. That's not that kind of thing He would say and not get caught so I'm assuming is true I don't have there They don't do not have the backup for that because it's like a thousand years ago. It's like a long time ago Yeah, my back in the day. Hey who's gonna fact-check that oh?

1:32:24 Well, still. You'd think that one of the two women would have a clue. Part of Russian history for a long time and frankly I think he sees Ukraine as the linchpin of that Linchpin... Kiev was where the Russian Empire was founded. What is a linchpin, actually? What is an actual lynch pin? Is that a nautical term? No it's not. Oh, it could be! But I think- I know its a pin that if you pull out bad things happen Do you mind if I just look very quickly A pin passed through the end of- ohhh of course! Well I would call something else but it says a pin passed through the end of an axle to keep a wheel in position

1:33:05 What do we call that? We call that some there's a different word for it. Cotter pin. Yeah, a lynchpin sound is good because it has the cotter pin of the whole thing so if you take this guy out the wheels come off it over 1000 years ago I think he does see it as a made up state and and I think that he will never rest easy As long as he thinks that Ukraine might slide west and away from Russia, and not a part of that buffer of states on the periphery of Russia. All right okay well I like his version is little alternative but doesn't sound like he's any better or worse than any of the Atlantisists who want to have the same narrative. Of course! He just has a little more detail to it

CHAPTER 28 / 55 Discussion

Russian Black Ops and Economic Leverage in the Baltics

Robert Gates discusses the long history of Russian black ops in Central Asia and the use of economic leverage and cyber warfare against Baltic states like Estonia. He suggests that the US and Europe must provide an "economic safety net" to these countries to prevent them from "knuckling under" to Russian pressure regarding energy supplies.

robert gates· black ops· kyrgyzstan· baltic states· cyber warfare

1:34:02 He's still an anti-Putinist. Putinist! And he is...he's still connected, I think that's why he's there. He's got some...I think he's the spokeshole for the CIA in these meetings Oh yeah and make no mistake nobody really cares Exxon Mobil just started drilling in the Arctic In core the Russians for the Russians. Yeah And Putin's up there and like everyone's together nobody cares It was just it's just playing little games Stratego whenever that game is

1:34:41 Isn't that the game? Is that what it's called? Yeah, I guess. I've never played Stratego curiously Oh! I used to play for hours on end You want to play a few minutes of the Gates 2 clip which i think he goes into something else yeah I do Just distance myself from two secretaries of state in this respect I always liked the definition of diplomacy is saying nice doggy until you could find a rock Nice! Yeah, I like that. That's sick But that's what you do with dogs when you're an asshole By the way Listen to how many people are saying He's just like me, I throw rocks at dogs all the time Stupid stray mutt Wow, it got a little frightening there people I think Putin... The thing to remember is that

1:35:37 Putin could remain president of Russia until 2024. He's playing a long game, and I think we need a long game. And I agree with everything in terms of reactions short term that Condi and Madeline have described. I would provide lethal weapons but with a heavy emphasis on those that are largely seen as defensive rather than offensive capability sometimes that is pretty thin line But I think... It just depends on which end of the barrel you're on, Gates. A long game. I remember in 2008, Condi and I realizing how much intelligence we were getting on how extensive Russian black ops were in Central Asia and places like Kyrgyzstan and so on trying to stir up anti-Americanism So this is not something that just started six months or a year ago

1:36:39 And I think what we need to do is not only strengthen NATO... on how extensive Russian black ops were in Central Asia and places like Kyrgyzstan, and so on. Trying to stir up anti-Americanism. That was also purely for extractive purposes? I presume that it was almost like you almost get if you back off enough, you say well the Russians were doing this in those areas or let's do the same thing to them in Ukraine. Yeah and see how they like it.

1:37:27 What we need to do is not only strengthen NATO's military presence, my biggest worry for the Baltic states is not that Putin will send troops across. It is that he has such extraordinary economic leverage in all three of those places. And so one of the things I think we oughta be looking at both with respect to the Baltic States and with Ukraine is how, what can we do to create a better safety net economically under those states so that if Putin does start turn the screws using Russia's leverage in the Baltic States economic leverage but also the cyber capabilities demonstrated against Estonia I think in 2007. What was that?

1:38:16 And you hear someone, yeah 2007 I remember it. What was the cyber capabilities? In Estonia? Yeah Estonia which is the most wired of all these Baltic states. They shut them down or something for some reason there was something going on...I don't remember now but it was a while back before we did this show Hmm. Well, he said 2008... But the real thing he's talking about is the oil cutting off the gas? Yes That that those Baltic states don't have to knuckle under Because they've got an economic alternative Right which is Europe I guess EU well us yeah Good, I'm glad you clipped that and I actually have in a latest

1:39:07 narrative to discuss as a follow-on to that, which I think might surprise you. It'll be maybe a multiple part series of something we're going to do here on the show but that's just a teaser because right now i have to thank you for your courage and say in the morning to you John C. Dvorak! Well well... In the morning to you Adam Curry also into the morning at all ships and sea boots on the ground feet in the air subs in the water and all the dames and knights out there And I want to say in the morning to everybody in the chat room, noagendastream.com Thank you, Void Zero for making all of that work again. Thank you all for hanging out with us! Thank you very much to our artists who are always bringing us fantastic artwork It is a big part of the success of this program is that we have new art for every single episode Phil V uploaded his art to noagendaartgenerator.com and we look forward to what will see on...for today's episode We should choose right after the show because it's very hard sometimes-we had a hard time actually

1:40:06 We went back and forth a lot on this one. It was the John Kerry, Mr Potato Head with his foot off yelling Putin which is kind of funny. Yeah I like that a lot yeah it was uh i couldn't find any...it looked like original art too so thank you James we want to thank a few of the producers that gave us some production money for show 642 including James Wolgamoth who gave us the beast donation. Ah, the big beast! He came in with a big beast and he is a winner of the Big Beast contest? No no, it's Little Beast Contest. It's The Little Beast I'm sorry. What am i thinking? And he says from Everett Washington down the road here from where I am and he actually over to the side and he says thanks for the funny photo newsletter

1:40:57 And that's all he says. Well, it was a funny photo newsletter Yes, it is always funny You know I had some guy wrote in and said oh you know blah blah blah I have a plug-in so I don't see any of the images And then he goes on about something which would have been explained by one of the images, because we have just typically three or four or five funny photos. Yeah you had a lot this time. You had a lot of big beast photos and always...and they always had a cute kitten photo that works wonders. Well not always but sometimes a panda, sometimes a doggy whatever the case. Hey! You should do a dog with a rock. I'm thinking that...I looked for that actually to be honest about it. Sick man

1:41:38 The thing is, I don't think the newsletter's any good without the photos. It's what makes it all come together. Instead of...it's not just a newsletter, it is a product. It is a piece It is a work of art, but it is a true product. Free I might add that you can just sign up for it. There's a sign-up link on every show notes page. Yeah and even sometimes the newsletter doesn't have a lot of news...it's still great newsletter because the photos! The photos yeah. But Mickey who is really...this isn't her thing, newsletters? Oh I got the newsletter

UltraFlix 4K Network and the Guard Bird Skylar

A call to action for producers with video skills to create 15 and 30-second advertisements for the show to run on the UltraFlix 4K network. This is followed by a tangent about a "guard bird" named Skylar, a parrot that mimics voices and creates immense volume, leading to a discussion on the physics of bird vocal cords.

1:42:15 And she likes what it says, but she of course likes the photos too. I do too! I'm saving every single one when it comes into my email and boom I archive it. I like it a lot you do good work on that Sir David Foley likes it to because he came in with $333.33 Foley, the grand duke. In the morning gentlemen just a quick note to thank you for your continued analysis and discussions that can be found nowhere else! Thank you in addition in listening to yesterday's show I realized that BVP's sole executive producer donation means that it was my turn to step up

1:43:08 and represent the territory of the United States in donating to the best podcast in the universe. And what he's referred to as Baron von Palsma, Grand Duke of France and Belgium. I do have an extra bit from our grand duke that he has this is it's the ultra flicks which I didn't know that's what his thing was so be I guess he's doing this say he's going taking one step higher than Netflix is ultra flakes with 4k TV streams. Right and he said I'll just read this verbatim Hey guys, can you put out a call to action during the credit segment on Sunday? I just thought of this and would like you to call it out I'd like to reach out to any no agenda producers that have video production skills And have the time to create 15-and 30 second advertisements for no agenda I've got several slots on my 4k Ultra HD network and I can run these ads at no cost and helps help us spread The word what is going on?

1:44:04 I rousted one of the dogs from the door, he's gonna bust in a minute. And the dog took up the stairs and scared the parrot. But you know what you have to do? Throw a rock at that thing. I didn't have a rock to throw and it's a glass door If anyone can create a video advertisement for the show, please contact ultra flicks at n tech comm I'll put that in the show notes November tango echo kilo calm. I'll work with them to spread the word Well first of all, I'd love to have some no agenda video commercials And it makes a lot of sense if and we do have people who do this What could repair does the parrot?

1:44:40 Say anything or just squawk no No, the parrot is hilarious. The parrot says everything in everybody's voice and apparently Once in a while get into a conversation In someone's voice uh-huh and you're like down here or something you go. Yeah hell who's in here? You know it sounds like somebody's in the house what's the parents name again? Skylar okay skylar skylar you can't Believe me this bear with me skylar I'd like to get he would say Putin. I hope you said well, but the funny thing is about a wanna booting He would do the Putin yeah, but the funny thing about this bird is that?

1:45:22 Besides getting into these conversations, he's a guard bird. That's why he is making all this racket right now. Sorry! How old is... And what I was going to say that he so far away from you have no idea where he is nowhere near here and then you have always wondered why we haven't been able to because I was at the there's a kookaburra or some bird or some Australian bird kookaburra I can remember But if you've ever been in a hall where there's one of these things and they decide to let out a noise, it will deafen you like this stupid parrot. Now if you think about it I don't know if this is good for one of those solicitation deals where you get money for an invention like this but their vocal cords are little bitty things. You mean the Kickstarter? Kickstarter. How come you can't make speakers

1:46:17 That small with that much volume coming out if a bird can do it. The lungs aren't that big They're not you know, it's a little bitty thing and so they've been there this little bit of voice box Well, that's a very good question is not a great question but it's a good question I think it's because the amount of air pressure one can create in a bird apparently as well with your lungs Is...that's really what it is It's the air pressure Yeah, but the bird... just lunging on a bird is nothing. Well let's open him up and take a look! He keeps squawking. He might be tasty. He's over there scolding him for making a bunch of racket and interrupting the show. Alright nice Onward! Yes Radu Wutaj

Is your name Curry? I can change it It is the Curry family reunion at the old homestead where all the siblings were born and raised, and Uncle Don and Aunt Meg. Meg being the curry... They now live there and everyone's coming in very excited it's gonna be fun my daughter's flying in from Amsterdam so we're going to go up together And this is uncle Don you know that's actually something I want talk about in a moment but first

1:50:58 A mention to everyone that these are real credits, these executive producer and associate executive producer credits. They can be used anywhere just like Hollywood with the only exception that we actually give them a little more credence by vouching if someone questions them but you can use them anywhere and people like to put them on their LinkedIn it seems to work very well We highly appreciate this And will have another thank-you segment for our donors of $50 and above coming up in just a little bit here on the show Devorac.org slash And of course we always need you to do some very important work of going out and propagating our formula. Our formula is this, We go out...we hit people in the mouth. Hello pigs in human clothing! I have here my hands John a hardcover copy of

1:52:14 The book Pot Shards. What? Pot shards. Pot? Pot as in pot, shards. Shards as in shards. Fragments of a life lived in CIA the White House and the two Koreas by Donald P Gregg It came out Yes Oh Did you get an autographed copy I'm taking this copy with me to get autographed Good And would you like me to read a little piece from the preface? I'd love to hear that. Okay, fragments of memory have persisted through the vagaries of time like shards of pottery broken long ago So he wanted to be apparently a novelist with this kind of writing Well this is going to explain... This is why I'm reading it so we can understand what this is about

1:53:04 They are reminders of things from all but forgotten past. When I was US ambassador to South Korea, I would often stop my armored car at construction sites in Seoul to prowl around freshly broken ground looking for ancient pot shards newly exposed. I have boxes of shards thus collected that can never be reconnected to what once was whole. I also have a vivid collection of memories that I will try to string together to create the narrative of this book." I remember waking up one night long ago, a small boy filled with fear of dying. I cried out and my parents heard me and came into my room. I was still sniffling but they comforted me enough so that I asked through my tears if i would live to see the year 2000."

1:53:45 They assured me that I would and asked how old I would be when the date came. They told me that I would be 72 years old! That seemed so reassuringly far off in the future, that I was able to fall back asleep. It is now well more than 14 years into the 21st century and I realize if ever am to connect dots of my memory...I had better get started now…so I shall begin." Yeah, exactly. That's what I said! So I will be... You're going to plow through the book? Of course of course you're gonna pull out a couple of tidbits absolutely and then we're gonna discuss them in a future show yes and know that Uncle Don was once the most feared man in North Korea

1:54:27 But that is a long since past and he is now a revered man in North Korea, right? He goes and visits. Yeah And he tries to make things work and why nobody pays attention Washington No Washington ignores him and does not like him for it. Yeah, that's why he doesn't like Gates exactly Exactly but then there's that Iran-contra thing It's so annoying beyond that just never seems too kind you can't shake that off Yeah, well but oh well I'd yeah sure that'll be discussed in the book Probably. Well he thanks Felix Rodriguez in the know that guy Torturer as one of his friends ah yeah, I know I know I know

High-Rise Safety Initiative and WTC 7

A report on the "High-Rise Safety Initiative" in New York City, a ballot measure seeking a new investigation into the collapse of World Trade Center Building 7 on September 11, 2001. The initiative is supported by architects and engineers who argue that the building's collapse due to fire alone warrants a city-wide safety review.

1:55:07 This is what Rick is was I we had Rod Rodriguez clip on once when he was where with Hayden and these guys are worried sick They're gonna get thrown in jail. Oh, yeah and and Rodriguez just seems like a Guy you don't want to get on the bad side of but think they were all in Vietnam together You know they were like in combat so that's probably a different relationship that builds in situations like that There's something very fun happening in New York. I'm glad iIm going." And when I saw this initiative pop up, it was like, finally here is someone who sees an opportunity and is taking a completely different approach

1:55:47 It's called the High-Rise Safety Initiative. They have a website... Let me see, what is it? highrisesafetynyc.org and they have a video to go with it which is just beautiful! What if your office tower completely collapsed after a fire? Hard to imagine isn't it? High rise buildings are built to withstand raging fires without falling They have been for decades. And yet, in the late afternoon of September 11th 2001 this building World Trade Center 7 collapsed to the ground. It wasn't hit by a plane and had only scattered fires burning My name is Don Butterfield

1:56:49 I've been a practicing architect and engineer in New York City for close to 50 years. Many of us in the architecture and engineering community are concerned that this building could collapse, so we are supporting the High-Rise Safety Initiative, a ballot measure that would require the city of New York to investigate the collapse of this building and any future high-rise collapses. It's so smart! Like, hey... Very funny. You know it's a hey this this building collapsed because of a couple of fires we need to investigate not only what happened but every building in New York because this could happen to your building Because it didn't get hit by a plane And they're putting it on the ballot for November 4th

1:57:41 And if approved by the voters, it will require the New York City Department of Buildings to investigate high-rise building collapses in New York that occurred on or anytime after September 11th 2001. Well that would only be one or two or three buildings Yes! In fact... World Trade Tower 1 2 and 7 yes! WTC7 won't go away I think it was just poorly built Yeah probably Just shitty work. Exactly, exactly. Okay here is something really bad happening and I started to put this stuff together right now there's a lot of stories about the porn business in leaving Los Angeles because of the condom requirement

Truvada Marketing and the "Truvada Whore" Label

An investigation into the aggressive marketing of the drug Truvada (PrEP) for HIV prevention, particularly within the porn industry and on apps like Grindr. The segment criticizes NPR and Kaiser Permanente for "native advertising" that downplays the continued need for condoms, noting the emergence of the controversial term "Truvada Whore."

truvada· prep· hiv prevention· kaiser permanente· npr

1:58:32 Yeah, I think they're going to Arizona or someplace. Well yes but there's a setup in here which is very sneaky this comes and goes we've heard this for several years this has been going on This conversation about the condom law But now there is a new twist And the twist is trying to make it porn production safe if the actors are taking Truvada This is the, or PrEP as it's known. The new medical regimen that can help prevent HIV transmission. Do anything to get people to take these things! Well and this is exactly what...this is being pushed very very hard and very

1:59:22 callously, I would say. Now Brian our gay crusader has been on my case about this for a long time and the evidence is just mounting that right up to the FDA and the CDC they are not really communicating very well that Truvada is by no means a miracle cure or preventive cure but by no mean does it mean you should stop using condoms In fact, the evidence shows that it really is quite dangerous if you were to rely on this at all. And so here's more news... Grindr is now marketing Truvada. So Grindr is the gay hookup app

2:00:11 and they are now advertising on the app. And I believe there is too much misinformation, and perhaps disinformation out there that people are not being told that it is not safe to use this solely without other protective measures if you do not want to be susceptible to contracting the HIV virus. And NPR, which is a part of the Kaiser Medical Report... Yeah you noticed this too! I hate this. They bring some woman on who's a representative of Kaiser

2:00:57 She works for Kaiser and she's in there to give them, do the medical segment of the show. This is native advertising as far as I'm concerned. I would be stunned if they didn't get a pile of money for this." Well it's sponsored by or co-produced by Kaiser. Kaiser of course is...the Kaiser Foundation, the Kaiser Medical...they have a nonprofit side of the house. It's supposed to be Chinese walled in between and Kaiser Permanente, we know is huge in the medical insurance business. Correct? The Kaiser Permanente? Well yeah but it's one of the first...it may be the original at least one of the first HMOs. Right. Healthcare Management Organizations. So when you're a Kaiser you have insurance but do you have to

2:01:47 You can get away with going to an independent once in a while in an emergency, but generally speaking you have to go to a Kaiser facility. But all of this... Sure okay I mean but still.. So the Truvada is it's still a very expensive pill? But obviously it's going to be covered and they're pushing it very hard, and I believe that is very bad for the health of anyone who's having sex and believes that you can take this not have to worry about contracting AIDS. And but I'm going to hear accuse NPR at the very At the very least, not providing all the information in this report by telling people very clearly that this is not a replacement.

CHAPTER 35 / 55 Discussion

NPR and Kaiser Health News Partnership Critique

A critique of a specific NPR report co-produced by Kaiser Health News regarding Truvada. The hosts argue the report functions as a commercial for the drug, featuring doctors who compare HIV prevention to cholesterol medication and shaming healthcare providers who are reluctant to prescribe the expensive daily pill.

npr· kaiser health news· truvada· medical ethics· pharmaceutical marketing

2:02:31 And at the very worst, I'm going to accuse them of actually advertising Truvada in this report which i've cut down a little bit. It doesn't reduce from the content but just for the snappiness of our show. A very disturbing report on The National Treasure NPR co-produced by Kaiser Medical. The pill is Truvada, a combination of two drugs used to treat HIV Despite Eric's negative HIV status he takes the pill daily After hearing about the treatment and doing extensive research on his own, McCulley made an appointment with his primary care doctor. He was very supportive about it encouraged me to do it gave me a lot of stuff to read gave me a lot of stuff to think about And told me that I was a good candidate for it now That's any sounds like what yeah? That's a commercial

2:03:21 That's that's okay as he was very supportive. I did a lot of research This is telling you do some research call your doctor talk to your doctor about true body He might have some materials for you So off we went a few months into treatment McCulley says the only change has been in his attitude I have what I was looking for. I have peace of mind. I feel like I've taken responsibility For my health cool Although Truvada has been on the market for a decade, only recently had prescribing guidelines been available. Not every doctor is as familiar with PrEP as McCulley's is. So here's if your doctor doesn't know right then we're going to help you understand how to get through that and work with the system to educate your doctor Some within the lesbian gay bisexual and transgender communities have gone as far as to label those on PrEP as Truvada whores

2:04:13 The Truvada Whore. Yeah! This is what's going on, this is a real term and there are Truvada whores People who have been, and they're not that they're whores but they've been convinced that it's now safe. We got the PrEP! We got the Truvada! Whoo! Bare back your best! Assumption being you are on Truvada so probably run around having sex with whoever you can I'm not surprised to hear that i heard before That is Dr Melanie Thompson She is a principal investigator of AIDS Consortium Atlanta And has long worked in HIV research She's encountered reluctance from some health care providers to prescribe PrEP because of a lack of knowledge about it. This is an interesting thing for me, because doctors who say I don't want to prescribe PrEP to somebody who might be at risk for HIV because they might not use condoms

2:05:05 You know, it's an approach we wouldn't take in other areas of medicine. Thompson says no doctor would refuse to prescribe cholesterol-lowering statins to patients because they're overweight but somehow the conversation around PrEP is different I know so now the comparison is being made between statins and cholesterol and being overweight and Truvada somehow being equal to that protection against AIDS. And very briefly do they mention, oh you of course no one would ever take it without using condoms would they? Well yeah that's exactly the message your sending! So I think it is a very interesting moralistic attitude that soon will be outdated Who is this woman?! She uh... She's a horrible person Yeah she's from an AIDS foundation which obviously shill for this drug

2:05:58 But I do think that this is a barrier for some patients. They feel stigmatized and honestly health care providers need to step up their game and do better than that." There you go! Come on, healthcare providers, you can do better. You can prescribe Truvada! A CDC spokeswoman said via email that lack of awareness and knowledge among healthcare providers is one of the primary challenges to PrEP success But both Dr. Thompson and CDC officials hope the newly issued treatment guidelines will help overcome any barriers This story is part of a reporting partnership of NPR WABE and Kaiser Health News So as a true, as a person who truly cares for my LGBTQIAAP brothers and sisters do not

I thought we saw that kept up but they have charts and graphs about prices about how to bargain where you can get websites to go to find hookers. It's just looking at this going are you kidding me with this thing?

2:09:48 Here's a graph on looks matter showing that the... The girlfriend experience. Is this for the customers? No, it is the very fat and heavy women get $200 where the athletic and trim and thin and skinny they get 260 and up. And then also hair length that they want, this is according to the graph. The winners here are the blondes, the athletic or trim blonds, or thin, athletic with thin blonds with very long hair that's top dollar with a D cup and above and it goes down C B A and flat is at the bottom nobody likes flat hookers I guess. Oh come on there's entire category of... Yeah but no they don't get the big bucks! Ah okay all right

2:10:35 Alright, that's the difference anyway this thing goes on and on and on it's quite an extensive article. It's huge Anyway, so anyone looking for catch up or find out what's going on with the oldest profession in the world get a copy of The Economist. I think they know exactly who their audience is and... Bankers! Yeah. Banker's are looking for the whore. Let's not call them whores No, the bankers aren't whores they're looking for whores But don't call prostitutes whores that's not nice Okay, they're looking for hookers They're looking for girls. Social workers! Well, at these prices... Wow. Yeah. And curiously there's a curiosity to say Tokyo has the lowest prices

2:11:24 But then they have a good argument why it's because we may not know what the real prices are for the What's going on in Tokyo? Because were just kind of admitting that they don't know what else is going on It seems to me but I'd like to know is you who did the article was what kind of research Did they go to all these prostitutes everywhere and all these cities or do they have stringers if you say hey Go figure dude, do this research. And what was the budget well, this would be interesting information there is It's under briefing, there is no byline. So I'm assuming that they sent everybody out to check out things just do a survey what do you charge? I don't know! I have no idea...I just know that this could've been an e-book and they would have sold a lot of copies. They dropped the ball. A giblet! Speaking of which there is a book called Console Wars

Console Wars Book and Adam Curry's Cameo

A humorous segment regarding the book "Console Wars" by Blake J. Harris, which chronicles the battle between Sega and Nintendo. The host discovers he is a character in the book, emceeing a 1992 "Sonic 2" launch event at Toys R Us, and critiques the audiobook narrator's impression of his voice.

console wars· sega· nintendo· sonic the hedgehog· toys r us

2:12:20 And who would read this book? Who's the author? It's about X-Box versus... Yeah, it's about Sega and Nintendo. The Battle That Defined A Generation by Blake J Harris! And there are many people who are reading this book Why? We listen to this program. Well, people look we're not gamers. I'm not a gamer but i've never been...I stopped with Doom on DOS after that was I lost interest altogether just never been probably because I know I would get sucked in and be yeah you'd be playing the thing constantly addicted very very yeah

2:13:01 There's also an audible audiobook of this, which I was sent a clip from. And you know how I like mocking people and doing their voice? Yeah! You do that... It never sounds like the person though. Right, exactly and now I'm recognizing this because there is a passage in this book...I am apparently part of the console wars What? Yes! You're in the book?! And uh...I remember this when I heard the passage which I will play for you but I do remember it taking place I remember being completely disinterested and I think they paid me

2:13:49 two grand or something for the appearance. But what's funny is the guy who was reading the book does my voice. Sega had taken over the back corner of Toys R Us to host what looked and felt like a political rally for Sonic The Hedgehog. Sonic himself was there to greet incoming fans, friends and journalists as well his huggable new sidekick Tails on hand to compliment but never overshadowed The Hedgehog Both characters patrolled the perimeter of this rally, ushering guests towards a small stage where MTV's Adam Curry emceed the event.

2:14:27 Standing behind a podium with the Hollywood worthy poster for Sonic 2 and in front of a 30-foot too fast to cool today banner Curry revved up the crowd for this groundbreaking occasion. Can you imagine me revving up the crowd John just? Revenue up at Toys R Us here we go after building up momentum for Generation X's first unofficial holiday he welcomed Sega's non hedgehog man of the hour And now to tell you more about all the exciting details, a Sega of America's president and CEO Tom Kalinske. Nailed it! Wow... He sounded more like you doing his voice

Google HTTPS Rankings and the Shift to Bing

A discussion on Google's decision to give search ranking preference to websites using HTTPS encryption. The hosts argue this is a "pain in the ass" for small bloggers and a form of corporate lock-in, leading one host to switch to Bing as their default search engine for better results.

google· https· seo· bing· search engines

2:15:08 And now is the man a surfer that's what I portray you and I get to do yeah, there's Adam Curry once it Hey, man That's great. I wish he would have done that now. He just sound like a stooge It's not like this dude. Oh, that was pretty funny ah did there any tech news John do you have any? Tech news is our phone over you haven't going on oh No, there's no phone. No new phone. There's no tech news. Ah crap! Yeah there is! Oh? Yes yes I have two pieces of tech news One this is disturbing Google has now said that they will give preference in their rankings to websites that use HTTPS Why Because it's more secure It's a blog Yep yep

2:16:04 So the blogs will get less and less because they're not using HTTP. Because setting up HTTP... You know, I'm going to say something even though it's not tech news you can just talk about it. This is tech news! Oh, I see. Is this tech news? Yes Can't you just work in the word phone? Don't Yeah, well you could do this on your phone. So I've moved from...I now hate that it's weird but I've done it. Mimi gripes at me because I changed it on her machine. I'm now using Bing as the default search engine because I'm getting better results. Sure oh yeah!

2:16:41 They're doing it, it's a classic lock-in really. Because ultimately where is the easiest way to... What blogs are going to support this? Blogspot blogger you know all the Google stuff is going to support it and HTTPS if I had to implement this I'd have got a certificate and of course they can't be a self signed certificate This is a pain in the ass. So yeah, I think it's not necessary 99% of websites don't need HTTPS. Yeah man they need it for what do you need it for tell me what you need? I'll tell you! A man in the middle might try and hijack your reading my blog and then might insert like nefarious content doesn't happen There ya go

2:17:28 I do have more tech news then. Oh, okay what's your... Wait wait wait is it about a phone? No no but i'll work a phone in okay now this is possible that the bear could be looking for a phone Okay good! But I have a clip oh a clip nice This is a big story big story on all the networks The walking bear The Bear video that has much of America talking and so we wanted to know Is It The Real Deal? ABC's Ron Claiborne In The Neighborhood See for yourself that expert till ABC News is not someone in a bear suit they say it really is a bear standing on his hind legs and Walking just as comfortably and smoothly as a person. I think he walks better than you dog He stuck his head up at first, and then he stood up fully

2:18:16 And then he started to walk. There it is! There it is! This sighting caught on camera July 19th, the bear ambling down a residential street in suburban Oak Ridge New Jersey That's a bipedal bear Two weeks later Wait what? What kind of bear is he?! He's bipedal There he goes again just two doors down He's looking at me In northern New Jersey, where black bears and humans coexist easily a bear sighting is no big deal. But a bear strolling around like some mall shopper? Very big deal! It's scary at first but after you've seen it a couple times it just becomes weird McGowan says local residents have nicknamed this bear Vinny. It turns out state wildlife officials have been monitoring Vinnie ever since he was first reported to them back in June They say he's a juvenile under three years old and weighs about 250 pounds And he is walking upright because his two front paws are injured more than likely it was a car accident bears can walk on their hind legs very well, and it's just they... And how is this tech news? The bear was looking for a phone

Elon Musk SpaceX Firings and Visa System Glitches

A brief update on Elon Musk firing 400 employees at SpaceX following annual reviews. This is paired with news of a massive database glitch in the US visa system and a backlog at the UK passport office, with the hosts speculating that shared software from Oracle might be the common link.

elon musk· spacex· oracle· visa system· uk passport office

2:19:22 Good one the only other piece of news I had which I'm I think the shine is coming off Tony Stark Tony Stark, I mean Elon Musk. Yeah now what would he do now? Oh, it fired 400 people from SpaceX without Paying proper wages. Oh that would make sense uh-huh But you know, annual reviews. These were people who were not pulling their weight." Yeah yeah okay all right so that's what you have to do... You gotta fire them! This is how it goes. You watch but still oh no he wants the best people working at SpaceX we just get rid of everybody else! How easy they are to fall for it. Yeah well that's an old trick Still no word on the database glitch

2:20:17 Oh, database glitch. Yes. The American visa system... What is rather disturbing is that the UK government is also experiencing backlogs. About 30,000 applications. The Russians? Well Home Secretary Theresa May denied there was a crisis even though it's an unprecedented demand for passports but now people are having...seeing their vacations are being falling in the water as they say because people are not getting visas to travel and yeah you say the Russian I don't know

2:20:53 Could be the Russians or it could be somebody shaking down the airlines. The coincidence of this happening with, a glitch happening with the US visa system and this huge backlog unexplained backlog in the UK is... Well maybe they're using the same software Possibly from Oracle That's what I would look into if i was a tech reporter Oh please Okay I think we can close to Tech News Okay Here we go And that's it for Tech News No phone! Yay So I ran into an interesting... We talked about books there a little while ago. At least, I have a thesis that then you agree with it, I think, a little bit which is that they're doing everything they can to demean Hillary in advance of her running to get her not to run and maybe she's even in on this deal so she can...I don't know what happens all the money that's collected by all these Hillary operations

CHAPTER 42 / 55 Discussion

Secret Service Tell-All Book on Hillary Clinton

A discussion of Ronald Kessler's book "The First Family Detail," which claims that Secret Service agents find being assigned to Hillary Clinton's detail to be a form of punishment due to her "nasty" and "imperious" personality. This is contrasted with the agents' reported respect for Bill Clinton and the Obamas.

hillary clinton· secret service· ronald kessler· bill clinton· barack obama

2:21:56 Not sure. Well, we had the social media talkers on the previous episode which they're getting paid Yeah somebody's getting paid So there's a new book, a Secret Service book you're familiar with this We didn't talk about it Which book is this? It's called Guarding the Family or something like that Now we have heard from Secret Service personnel and people related to these service That the Secret Service despises Hillary loves Bill So this guy wrote a tell-all. We and he's being interviewed here and then in the book they'd say exactly what you just said Okay, I'm sorry clip now when you write about individual presidents. Are you a conservative or liberal? Do you have a political back? I have Eileen to the conservative side but the book is totally nonpartisan it reveals on the one hand that Hillary Clinton is so nasty to her agents that

2:22:57 being assigned to her detail is considered a form of punishment. But on the other hand, the book says that Barack Obama and Michelle are very respectful of agents treat them with consideration The book reveals negative material about everyone every Republican from Spiro Agnew to Jenna Bush to Senator Ted Cruz of have to sign that is because I wrote the story about the prostitution scandal. But even before that, of course they weren't supposed to talk. But you know if Hillary Clinton were here and she would say, You're full of baloney. I didn't abuse any Secret Service agent and she could probably come up with four or five

2:23:46 probably say that you're the Trump. She says she's going to help. So you believe that 100% with these people? Oh, there is no question, yeah But Bill Clinton he wasn't bad to them right? Bill Clinton was much more respectful and treated them well Was there a reason Mrs. Clinton didn't... Well I think it goes back to her character It shows an arrogance, an imperiousness, unstable personality

2:24:22 When you feel you have to put down other people who are less powerful than you. I think it's very important and when we choose a president, President, we need to consider that thing but just as we... It's interesting, I had a... Go ahead. I'm sorry. The first family detail Secret Service agents reveal the hidden lives of the president just came out in August 5th by Ronald Kessler. He also did a book in 2010 which was in the President's Secret Service behind-the-scenes with agents and the line of fire so I don't know if this has a lot of same material or not but this one definitely goes after Hillary. Well, I have another book and this is a clip from that i had for show 640 we just didn't get to it this is by Katie Pavlich and she is a reporter uh uh i would say she's probably a conservative reporter this is from C-SPAN 3 from the book their bookshow what was their bookshow

CHAPTER 43 / 55 Discussion

Katie Pavlich and the "Assault and Flattery" Hit Piece

An examination of conservative journalist Katie Pavlich's book "Assault and Flattery," which attacks Hillary Clinton's record on women's rights. The book alleges that Clinton ignored sexual abuse by State Department employees and protected her husband's reputation at the expense of female accusers, which the hosts characterize as a timed political hit piece.

katie pavlich· hillary clinton· state department· whistleblowers· townhall

2:25:19 What is it called? Book show. I think it's called book show and this is assault and flattery, and this is when you hear her take on Hillary and the What is the word I'm looking for? And this came out July 8th, so this is pretty close to the other book. Yes yes it's all completely timed. The hypocrisy of Hillary being this staunch supporter of women and women's rights...I thought this was interesting just didn't come up and well now we have some time to play it. Time and time again instead of holding her husband accountable she defamed his female accusers as mentally unstable loons looking for money

2:26:00 And Clinton repeatedly allowed women to be lied about, smeared and manipulated so that her philandering husband could hold on to power which eventually led to her own position as a senator from New York. A presidential candidate and President Obama's Secretary of State But speaking of her record at the State Department, what exactly did she do during her tenure there? Yes. The pattern and behavior continues. She ignored alleged rampant sexual abuse of minor girls by high-ranking State Department employees And under her watch, US Ambassador to Belgium Howard Gutman was accused of routinely ditching his protective security detail in order to solicit sexual favors from both prostitutes and minor children in a nearby park according to an internal memo written by Chief Inspector General Investigator.

2:26:48 A State Department security official stationed in Beirut was accused of engaging in multiple sexual assaults. And further, a U.S. Embassy official was removed for allegedly trading visas for sexual favors." Shut down the database! She looks to me... she's a blogger of the year at CPAC 2013. She is 26. She looks like she's well-connected. She's a conservative journalist as it were And she, I think is being fed stuff. This is material that the 26-year old does not come up with. No. You want to hear more? A little more? Yeah yeah it's definitely interesting. As CBS News first reported last year at least seven of Hillary Clinton security agents... Ah! Interesting we have the book about the security guys okay. ...routinely hired prostitutes on official trips overseas. This is a great gig

2:27:43 This security detail, ma'am. This is a good gig! It sounds like a lot of fun. Yeah? This bad behavior was described as endemic by whistleblowers and although the agents were eventually reassigned they weren't seriously punished and when investigations were launched into misconduct they were immediately shut down for Hillary Clinton's chief-of-staff And this is, I have to say it's probably the endemic part. It's the Secret Service in general. Obama's guys were arrested and sent back from South America from the Netherlands...it's just a job! Part of the job. You get to take that job. Travel around and goof off. Yeah, maybe the pay may not be great but think are the benefits?

2:28:30 And the female whistleblowers who brought all of this to their attention, who spoke out against and exposed what was going on inside the State Department. They were retaliated against for doing so. Whistleblower Carrie Howard was run out of the Foreign Service and stripped of her job and was bullied for exposing US Consul General Donald Moore when he allegedly engaged in sexual activities with women inside his government office and with call girls in Naples. I would like that on my tombstone, Call Girls in Naples maybe that's the title of the show. The Call Girls In Naples. Here is a reason more about this woman conservative primarily known for work on the online news magazine townhall dot com as well for authoring the book besides this book she just did he had another book Fast and Furious Barack Obama's bloodiest scandal shameless cover-up

2:29:22 Which again is provided, you know this sounds like something somebody else wrote. The National Review Washington Fellow whatever that means she's appeared numerous times as a television commentator at the age of well the ripe old age of 26 I might add notably on the Fox News Channel program The Five which is a horrible show. Is she on that show? Carrie she comes in and then she comes out She's one of the...she's on the rotation stringer Yeah, self-described daughter of the American Revolution. She was raised in the mountainous areas of northern Arizona Developed an interest in river rafting hunting and love about doors from her father well Excellent so we'll be hearing a lot from her from the way it looks to me yeah, oh she's cute though She's got everything you want. She's friendly but she needs to learn not to sneer and kind of this condescending

2:30:20 You know, you got to be a little more factual. A little more journalistic-esque. Yes you have to look a little more... you have to do it as straight as it were. Ten more seconds So this is just a snapshot of Clinton's legacy of defending rapists and sexual predators She has done it for decades and yet somehow has been portrayed As a women rights champion Somehow! Okay But there's a reason I didn't play the clip, it was because you'd be annoyed by it. Hit piece! It really was... A big hit piece. But they're out to get her. Yeah. Which is just y'know? You gotta do what ya gotta do if you wanna keep her outta running. I look at Hillary and think, I'm gonna be tired. Give it to Warren bitch. Let her go. That's Hillary speaking not me. Hillary looks tired and Warren doesn't. And I think that's going to be the difference maker

2:31:15 And all these girls that are, I'm using the word girls. That are big Hillary fans you know the ones we heard on last week or last show. They're just all in on Hillary they're gonna be so bummed by the way things turn out If it's Hillary, but even if it's Warren a bit doesn't matter who? No, they're not. They know this more than just you know the everyone talks of big game But they want a woman yeah now they want Hillary Yes very good point All right we do have some people to thank for the show

In fact Brian and I were in some hipster areas pointing out the hipster restaurants all the rest of it and hipsters look like they're going to take over Detroit eventually but

2:41:29 And you think, well maybe Detroit's a good investment. You can buy a cheap house there or whatever but when you realize when you go to the look at the Packard plant and I took a movie which I'll post of driving around this mile long facility it's like a mile by mile it's like a town in size some monstrous thing and you drive around this just ruined plant is just desolation It's still standing there just a mess with no window unbroken It's been there since 1958.

It truly is the time. We have a guy who works at a studio Yeah, on East Coast I think. I think it's the East Coast and he sent us a little email thread between the three of us actually... A threesome thread and it's about some of these MSNBC guys like Al Sharpton and how they are with the crew and how they are as people and he sent me a follow-up

2:44:57 that really, especially MSNBC they really have no staff. They really have no one doing any work other than looking what other news outlets are doing and then commenting on that you know it's kind of sad Yeah, and people like I don't know why the MSNBC is just so bad. At least we have you know we have time now! I have the time because of the nature of this show i dedicate myself fully to understanding what is going on in uh in in uh Erbil which CNN is spelling with an eye there was a bunch of alternative spellings for that place but...

European Central Bank and Portuguese Bank Bailouts

A report on the European Central Bank (ECB) preparing for quantitative easing as the eurozone recovery slows. The discussion includes the bailout of Portugal's Banco Espirito Santo and the "geopolitical shock" caused by the Ukraine crisis, which is impacting Dutch agricultural exporters.

european central bank· quantitative easing· portugal· banco espirito santo· eurozone

2:48:30 Oh really? I didn't even know, catch this. Yeah there's a lot going on and the ECB the European Central Bank... Always a lot going on. ...is about to well we've tracked the single what do they call it the single stability mechanism the emergency stability mechanism that its keep changing names now the European Central Bank is preparing for their own version of quantitative easing And this comes on the heels of Portugal's Banco Espirito Santo needing to be bailed out for a little bit more than everyone expected. Whoops! Yeah, no, the Portuguese played it well. They did very well

2:49:12 They got to modernize their country during this process. As we pointed out on the show before, because you went to Portugal before they modernized... Oh it was third world country! And I went when it was modernized and it was like-I'm telling you these things that was a dirt road and yeah it's like a six lane freeway out to the wine country. And to the airport that no one uses Well, there you go. Mm-hmm well I think that isn't that airport in Spain? Yeah well there's that i'm sorry yeah the airport where no one uses is in spain. I think the Portuguese did a better job of gouging the EU than the Spanish did but they both did okay But there's all kinds of problems but this uh this quantitative easing and European Central Bank accelerating plans to unleash fresh growth boosting measures That's how I like to look at it

2:50:01 Honey, it's just a growth boosting measure. Don't worry about it You'll like it the eurozone recovery loses steam risk is risk increases of a geopolitical shock from the Ukraine crisis This is indeed a problem and the Dutch are feeling at very They're feeling it let's put it that way the let's see what he have dutch growers feel bite of sanctions against Russia Now, this is I think really a cover-up story. Bell peppers tomatoes... please! They're going to run into trouble with the banking and with their system of passing... Yes, I think your thesis on this is completely on the money. It's the only thing that makes sense. You should reexplain it to listeners who missed it. Okay.

CHAPTER 48 / 55 Discussion

Dutch Tax Havens and the Yukos Arbitration Case

An analysis of the Netherlands' role as a global tax haven for intellectual property and holding companies. The segment details how the Dutch legal system and professional judges facilitate large-scale arbitration cases, such as the $50 billion Yukos ruling against Russia, while the Dutch government maintains deep energy partnerships with the Kremlin.

netherlands· tax haven· yukos· shell companies· intellectual property

2:50:52 Economy is so huge because of two main pieces of business, which involves all the political infrastructure. There's revolving doors...you can't even begin to...the revolving doors are so huge that they look like buildings themselves between politics and the banking industry, the accountancy industry, the legal industry where it is very advantageous to have any type of business that has intellectual property is not taxed in The Netherlands. That is a rule this is why you also see U2 and then The Rolling Stones and all the big bands at royalties are not taxed

2:51:32 But there's also no withholding tax, so you can have a holding company and you can route your money through there. And it is very advantageous and essentially you wind up paying value added. So 18% maybe 19%, but it's nothing like in other places of income tax In addition, the legal system in the Netherlands is very susceptible to corruption and bribery. There are no juries...no you have professional judges who come from the same law firms who may be handling your PO box company and they will make rulings

2:52:12 advantageous to you like the Yukos case in arbitration where the judges on this arbitration board decided there should be 50 billion dollars. handed out to the owners and of course now they're screwing with Russia, and that there's money that is all over in all the banks. It's a free for all. And then there is the energy where the gas is stored in the northern part of the Netherlands in the Gasunies formerly where the Dutch pulled the gas out of the ground now their storing Russian gas in there And the port of Rotterdam is a deep water port. Oil comes down, is loaded onto other tankers and then shipped off to other countries including China. The Dutch government owns half of all this industry and they marginally make a profit on it sometimes a loss but all the companies... Yeah their partners with Russia Yes they are well the king of Holland just bought a house in Greece next to Putin

2:53:11 The Prime Minister, everyone's drinking with Putin. The King and the Queen... Does he ever open the window and then yell something out the window? Yeah! Right on cue John good one I like it so yes now we have some issues essentially sorry the way it works with these negative interest rates if a bank wants to store money with the European Central Bank, they have to pay for the privilege. How does this work? Will this eventually affect people who just have savings in the bank or how does how does this trickle down? You know, this is a very strange... I've known about the theory about negative interest but what it says is that

CHAPTER 49 / 55 Discussion

Negative Interest Rates and Deflationary Theory

A technical discussion on the emergence of negative interest rates in Germany and the eurozone. The hosts explore the theory that in a strong deflationary environment, paying a small fee to store money in "safe" bonds might be preferable to the risk of total loss, though they remain skeptical of the long-term economic viability.

negative interest rates· germany· deflation· bonds· cash

2:53:55 If you're a, this only would take place in a very strong deflationary environment which is a possibility as it is existent as we speak. Which means cash becomes... If you have $10,000. I think it's also related to the bond market somehow? Instead of picking... These are bonds that we're talking about that were given a negative interest rate. I think federal German Federal Bond something like that. Yes Whatever the case if you invested ten thousand dollars in a negative interest rate whatever the number is You would expect to get back nine thousand nine hundred and Dollars at stake That doesn't sound like a good deal

2:54:37 It does if you're, it does under some circumstance where you're protecting your money against losing all of it. It's in a deflation, seems to me that the problem is as you have real property should go down in value things at the store should be cheaper and so the dollar becomes more valuable than the loss of the negative. In other words It's it's a good deal to maintain the money at that rate whereas Unfortunately, I think cash would probably be even better just to keep a bunch of stuff in the mattress. I don't know I did something I'm always thinking about and I'm always trying to figure out well how an economy had worked that way hmm And I've never come up with anything that makes me comfortable Well, um no idea and I know that is not to beat is not desirable Okay, good we agree on that

CHAPTER 50 / 55 Discussion

The War on Cash and Smart Card Train Platforms

A report on the "War on Cash" in the Netherlands, where a train station in Woerden has become the first to close its platforms to anyone without a smart card. The hosts argue this is a forced transition away from physical currency, noting the difficulties this creates for tourists and the loss of privacy in public transit.

war on cash· netherlands· smart cards· oyster card· utrecht

2:55:34 Sticking in Euroland for a moment, this came out over the weekend. This is about the war on cash we know the Netherlands has been a fantastic beta site for essentially... oh fuck! Try not to use the word essentially before... I know and i'm not catching you either but you're catching yourself 90% of time It's bad it's the Tourette's Well yes okay you're on the road to recovery I am on the road to recovery We know that there are many stores, really they just don't take cash anymore. They have signs in the window no cash pin only which is their very specific system you cannot not even use a credit card I find this very disturbing Well we're all on the way to the PIN system here in the US certainly these smart cards coming

2:56:23 And the smart card is what it's all about. We've been tracking the Oyster Card in the UK, which is the same being used in the Netherlands and really rolling out all over Europe but now a very bad precedent I believe as the first train station in Woerden that's in Utrecht became the first railway station to close off its platforms to non-smart card holders So from now on, you cannot even get onto the train platform which is how you pay for your trip with your smart card. You cannot even get onto the platform unless you have a smart card Now there will be a waiver of I think 30 minutes Your system will let you in if you're going to waive someone off

2:57:22 but you still have to use your smart card. So, you cannot pay with cash but you cannot even access the train station without your smart card." What if I'm an American tourist? American Yankee go home! American tourists piss drop a lot of dough... American Yankee go home! No seriously what if I'm an American tourist?! This is not in the article. Eventually the Dutch train system plans to close off 82 stations completely and is testing this at 26 stations this year. It's called forcing people into the system, and forcing them out of using cash." How does this work for a tourist? We don't care! Take a cab. You can buy... I'm sure you can buy The Pass. I'm sure hotels will help you buy this. This is what it-you know, like in Tokyo, Day Master had cards for us to use which was very kinder

2:58:27 But if you're a tourist and you're showing up, you don't know about this? Well, you're dumb tourist. Which would mean that you are probably from America! Yes, that's what I'm saying... You're missing the point! Yeah, I gotcha. I got ya Johnny. Well, I can't help you on that is what it is. Well, you gotta find out, I can't take anymore. Beyond this please people are just not seeing that cash is being removed from the system We're seeing it We don't like it. Thank God for the Chinese, they won't put up with this crap! They love the cash economy and there's lots of them. I've been looking at that new canals being built and we have the guy in Costa Rica who are going to build a new Panama Canal

CHAPTER 51 / 55 Discussion

New Suez Canal and Missing US Federal Billions

Egypt announces an $8.4 billion project to dig a second Suez Canal to boost its economy and reduce shipping wait times. This is contrasted with a report from USA Today stating that the US government's tracking website, usaspending.gov, cannot account for $619 billion in agency spending from 2012.

suez canal· egypt· abdel fattah el-sisi· usaspending.gov· federal budget

2:59:26 No, it's in Nicaragua. Nicaragua thank you. Now Egypt has announced a new initiative... It's been compared to army strongman president Gamal Abdel Nasser who nationalized the first Suez Canal now Egypt's current president has launched the digging of his second new channel The military-run project is a major step by Abdel Fattah el-Sisi to stimulate his country's struggling economy. Its construction will cost $8.4 billion and is scheduled to take three years, El Sisi has ordered it be completed in one. The new passage will run in parallel to the original 145 year old historic Suez Canal which is still the fastest shipping route between Europe and Asia

3:00:06 The canal today earns Egypt about five billion dollars a year and is a vital source of hard currency for countries that suffered a slump in tourism and foreign investments since the 2011 uprising. The project will reduce maximum waiting hours for ships to three hours from 11, and allow for 49 vessels to cross at the same time compared with 49 per day as now." I like this particular news report Mainly because the it seems rather cheap a billion dollars to build a second Suez Canal seems to be kind of done I don't know. It's just me that doesn't feel like a lot of money

3:00:45 Well, it's probably another one of those construction projects that well they have cheaper labor. But it sounds like a construction project that they're going to start at 8 billion and they're gonna run it up to 16 or 20. So let's say instead... That's pretty common? Let's say it's 80 billion because we all imagine can we well can we all imagine $80 billion just for a moment Okay, all right and then listen to this. USA Today says a federal website aimed at tracking government money can't find six hundred and nineteen billion dollars USA spending dot-gov looked at data from 2012 it says agency's spending records don't match their budgets Here are some examples. The Health and Human Services Department failed to report $544 billion, Veterans Affairs had a $64 billion shortfall and the Interior budget gap came in at five billion dollars. That's a lot of money to just go missing.

3:01:37 It's not a rounding error. It's not a rounding error as they say. Meanwhile, golf is cancelled! No one cares... I'm just the vastness of 600 billion dollars They don't want to you know they don't have no bookkeepers anymore Well aren't we still due? The business right now is working for the government it's always been the business to be in it's a great business do You want that you want a billing code with the government That's all you want That's all you want. Oh, okay... It would be nice if people rose up and said hey I've had enough of this yeah i know i know it's never gonna happen There was an interesting report apparently the economist did a thing on uh hookers on Obama besides the hooker

CHAPTER 52 / 55 Discussion

Obama's Lack of Business Understanding and Valerie Jarrett

An analysis of an interview with President Obama in The Economist, where he expresses frustration that corporate leaders do not appreciate his economic policies. The hosts argue that Obama and his advisor Valerie Jarrett have no real-world business experience, characterizing Jarrett specifically as a "slumlord" who projects her own motives onto the private sector.

barack obama· the economist· valerie jarrett· business· slumlord

3:02:27 And they had an interview with him and they were talking about, you know what Obama is good at not good at. One of the things is apparently he doesn't understand business in the least. He has no clue. He's never been into business. He's only been a community or government essentially or NGO. But I thought this was kind of an interesting...this was the interview with the guy who wrote the article, did the interview with Obama. And this is The Economist because there's a name they drop in there which I just thought it was interesting. I think the bit where the sort of passion comes out most is on that issue of business. He comes back quite hard and tries to make the case that corporate leaders should love him, you know he's produced a wonderful economy for them and he still doesn't get why they don't entirely like him i think. Did you produce that question for him in terms of perhaps he doesn't get what it is about him but they do not like?

3:03:22 Well there's a particular exchange where he cites the example, he said well companies just all their main priority is to serve shareholders and I point out that that's exactly what chief executives complain about when they come into the White House. They think they run into a White House which doesn't realise that the modern chief executive is somebody who has Look over a great many things if modern TV actually spend half their time doing socially responsible things It's it's a vast amount of what they have to do They get involved in things to with workers with dealing with different stakeholders all those sort of things and one of the things I get frustrated about With Obama White House, they usually mentioned Valerie Jarrett very quickly is that there always seen as people who just trying to make a quick buck Yeah, you mean the real president?

3:04:09 Yeah, and you can just see her when you look at it. She doesn't know anything about business She's never run a business probably never worked for one untrue she's a slumlord she has oh well That's yeah okay? She's a slumlord that's the kind of business She runs which is really a passive business because you don't do anything You just let things are deteriorate and collect money And so she's projecting that you know this all they want to do is make a quick buck because that's what she does Yes exactly You accuse those of what you are guilty of yourself. Wat je zeg ben jezelf met je kop door de helft, remember that one? Yeah! You say it all the time and I love it... And I like to be able to say it myself but I just can't say it. It sounds like your coughing actually when you say that Are you coming my birthday party? I'm thinking about it. I am sure Mickey invited you

3:04:58 I don't know that she did. Oh, please oh please you did not get an invite? That can be true. May have i don't know She's throwing the secret thing for me in Amsterdam Yeah, I know a secret business surprise party yeah so why are we going to Amsterdam honey?

Everybody Is the Grand Duke von Pelzmacher going to be there Oh that's a very good question He should be Did she invite him She should have He will be And also Van Duhorst while we're at it Slow down There's a per head cost on this thing Well let me add some more then No!

3:05:55 What do you mean a per head cost? It's dinner. It's like dinner and entertainment. Is it sit down dinner? Yes, oh yeah! Oh that's no good... Yeah it is! I like... What do you mean it's no good?! It's expensive. I'd order a good cocktail party and then a song, happy birthday song and then a cake you're good to go." It's my 50th birthday John! I want speeches, I want presents, I want strippers...I want hookers & blow. This is my 50th! I'm only gonna do this once I want people... You could do it a couple times. I want slideshows, I want PowerPoint presentations, I've won people making up songs and singing them, I want celebrities dropping by And here's Mick Jagger! Good luck! Here to wish him happy birthday Marky Mark in the funky bunch! Well you know you might be able to pull down a few celebrities

3:06:58 Oh, I already know there's going to be some Dutch celebrities. Well... Hey hey hey hey! I'm talking about international celebrities that reminisce in the good old days you knew them all Yeah no one cares yeah well it's what happens is the way it works in Hollywood That's exactly right but I'm okay with it I am okay with my podcast Best podcasts in the universe Well this true Just a finalize because I think I'm kind of out unless you have something. Grand Greenwald Don Rav is being really coy about this second... I think it's Bogdanov, by the way, about this second- I'm in total agreement that this is bullcrap Yeah he's pretending like he'd oh I can't talk about anything there's a second Snowden Right He says he can't comment on that CNN claim uh he's out of the loop regardless he's not in any loop but what I did find interesting Snowden made his first public appearance at Moscow's Bolshoi Theater

CHAPTER 54 / 55 Discussion

Ebola Economic Hitman Theory and African Oil

A deep dive into the "Economic Hitman" theory regarding the Ebola outbreak in Africa. The hosts suggest the virus is being used as a tool for regime change and to secure massive liquefied natural gas and oil interests in countries like Nigeria, Mozambique, and Tanzania, noting the suspicious timing of US and EU "resilience" funding.

ebola· nigeria· mozambique· anadarko· economic hitman

3:08:02 Without his glasses. Uh-huh, you know the broken ones that he always wears when he does interviews and His visa apparently has been extended for three more years Yeah, which is another reason to get Putin I'm still sticking with that thesis You're gonna go after but no one ever mentions this either and then these you know the Aspen Institute Nobody they don't even bring up Snowden hmm at least At least the things I've seen so far. Yeah, it seems to be pretty much over really... Hey we didn't do too much about Ebola today and you know that's still out there? I'm kind of still looking at it from my economic hitman perspective and who is going to be next what unfortunate country will get Ebola next? Well we already...I think India is the target. India may be the ultimate target but let me give you some numbers.

3:08:53 The United States now supporting Nigeria's 2015 elections with $51 billion. What? Yeah, we could build a Suez Canal for less money than that three of them is from the fact sheet from the White House that the US will be working with donors to support Nigeria's electoral management bodies and strengthen the ability of the country civil society to promote electoral reforms regime change. Hey, good luck Jonathan! Good luck!" His wife's name is Patience Jonathan. Patience? Patience. If they don't play their cards right she's gonna be patient zero if you know what I mean... Well yes we will be spending this from the fact sheet 550 million dollars on our African rapid response forces

3:09:55 And we've been basically kicked out of Africa. You should watch all those things I mean, we play a big game carry had the you know The big sessions and all the rest but do you start hearing the other reports in this like they don't want us We have to drop 50 billion Well, it's it's going to be more than buying our way back. Well listen there's more We have Europe, the EU is launching an 845 million euro pan-African initiative so they're limping along with us. But it's the... what is this? The infrastructure protection disasters resilience This is the Rockefeller Foundation has announced a 100 million dollar global resilience partnership fund for Africa

3:10:44 So there's big money and we're, you know... this is round-robin stuff. It's classic economic hitman but here's where I would be careful. I would say candidates for Ebola Mozambique and the reason why we have Texas based Anadarko and Italian partner ENI making the final investment decision on whether to construct one of the largest liquefied natural gas facilities in the world, in Mozambique. Also on deck I would say Tanzania

3:11:25 Now this is all in the east, so if this comes true then we'll know what the game really is. Because right now it's all in the west, it's on the Ivory Coast and of course now Nigeria... It's moving mid-country to Nigeria. Did you read the article about how they've now tracked down a two year old? Hold on a second! Bullshit this the thing about this the way I understand it in 1970 was at six when the first Ebola was first discovered. I think it was 76 it developed in the jungle with natives and villagers out there in the wild, and then it moved slowly towards a city. This has started in the city which is exactly the opposite way except we found patient zero some two-year old in a village to make it sound right I guess? And that that 2 year old just jumped because you can transfer only with bodily fluids...it jumped out of this two year old into the city

3:12:28 Well, no. It went first to the grandma and the sister and the whole family apparently got it And I guess one of them staggered into the city and then said it all But how that two-year old got is still a mystery in my mind From the bats! Of course Yeah, by bat So it just seems, Nigeria...there it is. We have that huge oil fine from two years ago we have the hundreds of billions of dollars that were stolen. We moved our accountants in you'll recall when we went looking for our girls who we don't care about anymore screw the girls! Don't bring back our girls anymore everyone's Twitter icon has changed back

3:13:10 bring back our girls. We sent accountants over to bring back our girls, oh yeah and take a look at the accounts of where the hundreds of billions of dollars went and now we have full-time force in there as we brought good luck Jonathan over and his wife with the big floppy hat And we said well you know $51 billion we're gonna do a lot of work too I presume to reelect him. I can't imagine anyone else! Now there'd be some stooge that wears a normal outfit. This guy's a clown! We kind of liked that, look at Karzai... you know the guy with the goat fetus skin hat? I don't think we liked him at all. I think it was just bad choice and didn't work out. Well his brother ran the drugs and had to end his other brother had the restaurants and there was something about that he wasn't in the elite circles so their reasons for it okay no clip to play us out you got nothing
